Desert Blue Page #6

Do you want another painkiller?

It was just an M-80

in the gas tank.

You dangle it in about an inch above

the gas, then run away from the car.

That sh*t really blew up.

It must've been low on gas.

The lower the gas,

the bigger the bang.

You read all this in a magazine?

- You can buy all this?

- Yeah.

The explosives are more difficult.

They're controlled, like drugs.

But I've got a great contact in Nevada

if you ever want anything.

Thanks.

- What is this?

- A pipe.

Yeah, I can see that.

You fill that with gunpowder,

and then you can add metal pieces...

like nuts and screws and stuff.

And then you put in a charge.

It's like the tip of a match,

except it's ignited by battery.

So you connect both ends of this

to a battery, and boom.

I don't have a remote kit yet, so I run

wire from the bomb to the detonator.

- The remote kit's like 500 bucks.

- You're really into this stuff.

It's sort of like a sport, you know?

Like skeet shooting.

Skeet shooting?

Imagine if bombing

was an Olympic sport.

Two teams are given the same supplies

to destroy the same target.

Whoever destroys it

the best, wins.

I'd bring home the gold.

I'm scared, Billy.

Don't be.

That sh*t was really scary.

I don't think I've ever seen

anything like that before.

There's a lot of dynamite around here

from the old mining days.

- They used pipe bombs to mine gold?

- No, they didn't use pipe bombs.

Ely has done a little

modification of the materials.

All right, listen up.

I just spoke with Dr. Gordon.

Says we're all gonna be okay.

It was a blood clot.

- A blood clot?

- Affirmative.

A blood clot entered his heart.

No more driver.

- Baxter is safe once again.

- See? We're okay.

- Hallelujah!

- I knew it.

You did not!

Set me up with a cool one.

- What's wrong?

- Nothing.

- We're okay.

- I know.

I was just having

a fun time dying with you.

If we get all our stuff together,

we can be on the road in ten minutes.

Just kidding.

We're gonna leave in the morning.

I gotta go tell Pete.

We're okay.

You can go home now.

- Haven't seen Agent Bellows, have you?

- No, I haven't.

- I can't find him anywhere.

- Have you tried calling his cell phone?

I tried,

but he's not picking up.

I've been thinking

that he's been abducted.

Of course,

he would be an odd choice.

But if you wanna call him again,

phone's right there.

Thanks.

So we can go up to Peaksville tonight.

They have a bowling alley.

Or we can be original...

and start a bonfire

and hang out at the aqueduct.

Come on!

Cheer up.

Let's see those golden gloves.

Back to all

the big auditions and sh*t.

Sterling Brock.

Oil Slick.

- Did you hear that?

- What?

That.

Are you coming?

No. I'll hang out here.

Blue! Come here!

Is he okay?

Yeah. He's breathing.

I guess he just passed out

or something. He's drunk.

Detective Bellows?

He stinks.

I'll get help.

Is he dead?

No. He just mixed

Xanax with alcohol.

Are you kidding me?

Xanax with alcohol?

- P*ssy.

- Where's Blue?

I don't know.

You all right?

Yeah.

Are you sure?

Yeah. I just got

sort off reaked out.

Yeah, me too.

I thought he was dead

there for a second.

I've never seen

a dead body before.

You?

Are you sure you're all right?

Yeah, it's just...

that's the first time

I've been in there since...

my dad hung himself.

I thought he died in his sleep.

Yeah, that's what everyone thinks.

But it's not true.

He hung himself

and I found him.

He left a note saying

how sorry he was.

But he didn't say why he did it.

I'm sure it was

because of this place.

Just wanted everyone

to remember him as...

someone who was happy.

He wasn't happy, though.

He wasn't happy at all.

I couldn't let him

just go like that.

Everyone would have

called him a failure.

I took him down

and put him in bed.

Then I set fire to the place.

Look at what I'm doing.

I dug up some old photographs,

so I thought I'd make a new album.

I like this one.

This one's good.

What's wrong?

I could blow up your dad's car

if you wanna stay longer.

Thanks.

- Where's Blue?

- Said he'd meet us here.

Blue is probably out

squatting in the bushes.

- Maybe he shouldn't have come out.

- It's the painkillers. He'll be fine.

Didn't you see what happened

to the detective?

You're not supposed to

mix those things with alcohol.

You shut down your respiratory system,

and now everyone's a doctor.

- I'm celebrating our newfound freedom.

- Is this gonna get boring again?

- I liked having those freaks around.

- What do you mean?

- They shot me.

- It'd be different if you were dead.

You guys, it's been

really cool being here.

I'll drink to that.

What's the chance he'll get here?

I thought I was

doing the right thing.

For my dad.

I'm sorry.

I'll help you rebuild it.

Billy, are you covered

against arson?

Yeah.

It's just...

So...

now that we know everything...

what do you say we just pretend

that we know nothing?

- Hi, there.

- Hi.

He's all yours.

So, how'd it go?

Got a new job

building the motel.

- Cool.

- When do you leave?

About 20 minutes.

Let's go for a ride then.

There's a Sterling Brock

on the phone for you.

- Can you take a message?

- Okay.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah.

All right.

What's up, poster girl?

Deputy, huh?

You won't ever arrest me, will you?

Probably not.

Telly, this is Pete.

I'm number one.

I'm number one,

you f***ing scumbag!

And when my brother starts racing,

you'll be number three.

Kids went for a ride.

They're coming right back.

I just came by

to say thanks for everything.

Well, you're welcome.

It was nice having you here.

I was thinking,

next time I come up north...

if I could maybe

stop by and see you.

- I'd like that.

- It'd be okay?

They turned into

these invisible ninjas...

and they had all these

throwing stars and...

Holy sh*t.

- What was that?

- That's Ely.

Oh, sh*t.

That was the big one.

I'll drive.

She's in for it now.
