The sky is getting blacker and the wind picks up. A single street light pops on but it's not quite dark enough to make a difference yet. The ambient sounds are basically gone. A single car can be heard. Thunder sounds way off in the distance. The car sound gets louder. Will and Mike are both standing waiting for Jesse to get done doing what ever he is doing in the building behind them. A car makes it's way down the road. " OH! Finally he's here. Should I go get Jesse?" Will asked as he turn towards the building.
"It's a purple sports car Will... purple... sport car... He said a red Ford Tempo." Mike said sarcastically demeaning with a raised eye brow.
"Whatever man. I'm just really ready to go." Will said rubbing his stomach making a strange face.
"You alright man?"
"It's just before we set out today I had this 4 day old meat lovers pizza. I thought I had got rid of it after that great 6.2 bath room visit."
"6.2! You knocked it down 3.8 points for no paper towels? Harsh maybe?"
"Paper is a huge deal."
"True."
Will lifts one legs and winces.
"What are you....no don't man!"
"OK I'll hold it and go git Jesse." Will looks at Mike and grins. "Heh heh heh"
"Don't kill each other."
Will walks into the building, leaving Mike by himself. Mike lights up another smoke, looks to his right and notices the purple car has parked a distance away. The driver was still inside. Mike walks down to the car and knocks on the passenger window. It rolls down and Mike and the driver exchange a brief conversation. Jesse is now outside watching from a distance. Mike sees him and looks back at the driver, points back in the direction the car came from, and ties up the rest of the conversation. The car does a U turn, drives by Jesse and speeds away back from where it came. Jesse could not make out who was inside cause the windows were tinted. Mike walks back with a huge smile. Jesse was not smiling.
"That girl was friggen gorgeous."Mike said as he takes a huge hit off his cigarette.
"Don't even think I'm an idiot."Jesse said dead serious. "Who in the shib was that? Don't even tell me it was some chick that got lost."
"Well it could a been a guy, but then you never do know for sure these days. Huh?"
"Don't mess with me."
"Dude it was just a chick looking to get back onto Route 6 OK? Put your pitch fork and torch back up your keester you crazy paranoid .....Guy." Mike gives Jesse a look only a best friend could give. The look that says. "I love you man but you gotta chill and have fun with us."
