Littlefield - Part 4
by EJ Leonard
H, you there???
What’s the update on Sarah? Is there one??
None of the bodies in the woods were hers. Mainly older men and women.
My Dad’s on his way over to Corrinne’s right now...
to talk to her parents about filing the missing person’s report.
So she’s still out there somewhere!?
Well, yeah, but she might not be alive.
If some sick fuck was screwed up enough to kill all those people in the woods...
then there are probably bodies elsewhere
And God knows where she could be.
I might actually have a couple of leads.
Please don’t tell me it’s from your psychic friend
She’s fucking accurate most of the time Helena
Operative phrase “Most of the time.”
IE throwing the police department off the scent of a missing child for four months...
because the kid would find his way back to his father
Yeah, they found that kid dead, but you know what?
That kid’s father died a year ago.
So what are you saying? That he found his way to him in heaven?
Give me a break.
Well whatever you believe, she said something about a barn...about Saint Rhiannon...
and something about Wayne. I NEVER mentioned Wayne.
Is Saint Rhiannon the patron saint of bullshit?
Helena, it’s all I got, and we need to find her
I’m sorry, I didn’t think you had that close of a relationship with her.
Why do you care so much?
Something else I didn’t mention.
She was on her way to give this guy some money
Wait…what guy?? Money for what!? What are you talking about!?
Please don’t tell your Cop Dad, but we’ve both been dealing...
and she was taking our supplier’s cut to him.
ARE YOU SERIOUS!? DEALING WHAT!?
Weed…some harder stuff…
YOU IDIOT! HE PROBABLY HAS HER! WHY DIDN’T YOU SAY ANYTHING???
Because he doesn’t have her...
and I know this because he’s been threatening my life to find her.
Thinks that we’re trying to smuggle away the cash or that we didn’t have it
Would she have done that!?
No. But right now, I’m about to be shanked if we don’t come up with that money
How much money was it??
A lot.
Did you fucking get her into this??
Yes…
Unbelievable.
Oh fuck…
What??
He’s at my door.
Who??
Luke. The guy we owe money to
What are you going to do??
I don’t know, my fucking Mom is home
Well, don’t you think you should answer it before she does??
It’s too late.
What if something happens to your Mom??
They’re calmly talking
Call the cops
And say what!?
My drug supplier who helps me peddle illegal drugs to other high school students is coming to kill me??
I don’t know, maybe!
SHIT! My Mom invited him in!!
WHY DOES SHE ALWAYS HAVE TO BE SO NICE!!!????
I bet she gave him my goddamn Mallomars too.
Is he threatening her??
No, she’s offering him cookies, and just called up to me
You’re in your room??
Yes. I’m going to slip out my window.
And go where???
Shit, I’m going to have to get on my bike.
The car will be too conspicuous. Can I come to your house??
MY HOUSE!?
Yeah! There’s nothing safer than the house that belongs to a cop, no??
Then maybe we can try to figure out this Saint Rhiannon stuff together and crack where Sarah is
Ugh. Fine.
I’m slipping out the back now.
Be quick, because the town curfew starts in a half hour, and you’ll end up arrested anyway
Okay, I’m on my way
I just heard something weird on my father’s scanner
What
They’re not saying the curfew is for a murderer
Then what the fuck is with all the bodies? Suicide cult??
No. They keep talking about this threat that’s coming up from the South...
that they’ve been trying to keep it contained...
but they don’t know how much longer they can...
because “too many of them” have gotten in.
What does that even mean!?
I don’t know, but I think you should get off the streets as fast as you can.
I’m still coming to you. I’ll just pedal fast.
Oh my God! Somebody just broke through the back door
What!?
I just called the cops. I’m in the bathroom upstairs. Door locked.
Where’s your Mom??
She’s visiting my Aunt in Maine. I’m alone
Who is it??
I don’t know, but they’re knocking all kinds of shit over downstairs and groaning.
It sounds like a couple of them
WTF. I’m on my way. I know Aikido. I can kick a bitch’s ass without hurting them
I can hear them coming up the stairs. It’s like they’re drunk or something
Just stay quiet
I’m trying. I’m scared. What if they try to kill me???
Just stay quiet. The cops are coming
FUCK. I knocked over the soap dish on the sink. They heard!! They’re coming!!!
Is there a window you can climb out of??
It’s too small
Don’t worry
They’re banging on the door
Are they trying to smash it in??
They’re just throwing their body weight against it
Just stay still
I can hear the sirens
Good!!
They stopped! The sirens must have scared them!
They’re walking back down the hallway!
Okay, just breathe
They aren’t running though, what if they’re just scheming??
The cops just kicked in the front door
What if there’s a shoot out.
Helena hears gunfire
They’re dead. I think they just shot them.
I can hear the police walking around. One’s coming upstairs. I’m afraid to move
Okay, as soon as I get there, you can hop on my handle bars...
and we can go for a milkshake at the diner, and pretend this didn’t happen
We’re not going to be able to go out
But they caught them no??
Oh my God, Jared…you won’t believe what I’m looking at…
What?
Helena?? What do you see??
HELENA????
The threat from the south...
We’re coming to find you right now.
