Hmm.  Interesting.  Is this supposed to be not caught by cameras or Alternate Universe (or whatever that AU stands for?)  In any case, I'm wondering what happens next.

I found the first chapter difficult, mostly because I found much of The Merger Jim/Pam stuff difficult (kick you in the gut difficult).  So your chapter left me with the same unsettled feeling as the Parking Lot of Death scene in the Merger.  Painful!  If only Pam had said, "when I said coffee, I really meant it as kind of a ... date".
