Goosebumps Page #2

Okay. Just a little further.

Okay. Just wait here.

Okay.

Where exactly is here?

Watch this.

Whoa.

What do you think?

Uh...

It's not what

I was expecting.

So, what is this place?

Well, they built it years ago,

but then they ran out of money.

Now it just sits here.

Come on, this is

my favorite part.

Wait, wait, wait.

What are you doing?

What are you afraid of?

I do this all the time.

I'm... I'm not afraid.

I'm just not current

with my tetanus shots.

I hate the suburbs.

Come on.

You can do it.

Just don't look down.

I know.

You're not gonna fall.

I wasn't planning on it.

There you go.

Hi.

Hi.

All right.

So I'm high off

of the ground.

It's cool, right?

Yeah. It's cool.

You can see everything

from up here.

So...

why'd you move to Madison?

Well, my mom said to me:

"Zach, if you could live

anywhere in the world,

where would it be?"

And I said, "Can we please move

to Madison, Delaware?

That'd be my dream. "

Are you always

this sarcastic?

Always?

No, that's a strong word.

Not always. Usually.

I'm sorry.

It's just, um...

It's just been

me and my mom

since my dad died last year,

so yeah.

I'm sorry.

I don't really

think about it much anymore.

What about you?

Well, I never knew my mom,

and we're always moving

from one town to the next.

That really sucks.

It's fine.

Hey,

can I ask you something

really serious, Hannah?

Yeah. What?

How do we get down?

I'm serious. Is there a plan?

No.

How do you normally get down?

You can't. You're stuck.

Wow, I can't believe

you ate that cotton candy.

And you know what's scary

is it actually tasted

kind of fine.

So, uh,

thanks for tonight.

That was the least terrible time

I've had here.

Oh, Zach.

That's so sweet.

That's... I... Really.

Okay.

Hey, Hannah. I'm...

I'm probably gonna

take out the trash

on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

So, you know, you feel like

creeping up on someone,

that works for me.

All right. I'll keep that

in mind, scaredy-cat.

Hannah!

What are you doing out here?

I'm so sorry.

This is your last warning.

You stay away from us,

or something very bad

will happen.

I believe you.

"What is X?"

What is X?

Dad, it's not a big deal.

Hannah, you have to understand...

I don't have to understand

anything.

We were just talking.

Why can't I have friends?

- You know why!

- That is not fair!

You can't just lock me up

all the time.

You are never allowed

to see that boy!

You understand me?

Ever!

Dad, please calm down.

- Hannah.

- No! Aah!

What?

What?

I heard a scream.

Is Hannah okay?

There was no scream.

You didn't hear anything.

Get out of here

or the last scream you hear

will be your own.

No. Wait, wait...

Mom.

Hey, Mom. Mom. Mom.

Oh, hey, sweetie.

Hey, how do you feel

about quinoa for dinner?

Mom,

Hannah's in trouble.

Oh, who's Hannah?

Madison County 911.

Hi, yes. Uh, I live on Monroe.

Um...

Uh, it's an emergency, I think.

Zach, what's going on?

Yeah. Maybe possibly a domestic

disturbance. I don't know.

You're under arrest!

Oh! Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I love that enthusiasm.

I love that. Keep it.

But we're just...

We're not there yet.

Hello, sir.

My name's Officer Stevens.

This is Training Officer Brooks.

I'm sorry about that before.

You don't need to be sorry.

- You're doing great.

- Really?

We got a call about a possible

10-16 at your residence.

Which is...?

Um... Don't tell me.

It's a domestic disturbance.

Absolutely right.

Really?

Yeah. You're absolutely right.

Strange, because I've been here

alone all night

and I haven't heard a thing.

No, no, he's lying.

Where's Hannah?

I know it was her screaming.

Okay, yes.

Hannah's my daughter,

and she's been staying with me

for a while

while her mother

sorted a few things out

with her new husband.

Ah, yeah.

She flew back to London

yesterday morning.

All right, well,

that checks out.

Apologies, sir.

Thank you for your time.

We're sorry for the disturbance.

Surround sound.

I didn't know being

an audiophile was a crime.

Being a what...

A what-a-phile?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

That just means that he is

a connoisseur

of high-end

audio equipment.

Oh.

Hi. I'm so sorry.

We haven't properly met.

I'm Gale Cooper,

your new neighbor.

It's a beautiful home

you have.

Pleasure's mine. Thank you so

much for stopping by

and bringing your delightful son

and the police.

Again, I'm so sorry.

Apologies for this, sir.

We hate coming into the home

of an upstanding citizen

such as yourself.

Really sorry. I mean, obviously,

you're not doing anything...

If you would like

to press charges,

we would love to help you.

Hannah! Hannah!

Whoa!

Hannah!

Hold on, big guy.

No, no!

Just look upstairs.

Trust me.

Should I tase him?

I'll tase him.

I like that moxie,

but we're gonna hold off.

You have any idea

what the penalty is

for filing a false

police report?

Three years.

Close.

It's actually

a written warning.

Hold on, hold on. Mom, tell me

you don't believe him.

Surround sound?

Seriously?

Zach, enough. Go home.

Oh, officers.

I'm so sorry.

It's all right, ma'am.

I feel like

we should recommend

a good treatment center

for your son.

Yeah. That kid's on drugs.

That kid is on drugs.

Good night.

Gale.

It's Lorraine.

I can see you.

It's your sister.

Hi. Thanks for coming.

Hi.

I have to chaperone the dance

at the high school.

I don't wanna leave Zach alone

tonight.

Gale. He's a teenage boy

having a hard time adjusting.

You know what he needs?

A night in with his aunt,

BeDazzling.

Duh.

Oh, thanks.

I hate fighting with him.

I know. It'll get better.

Just give it some time.

All right. Kit coming through.

And don't worry.

It's gonna be all

about Zach tonight.

Zach!

So we went out

to sushi on Wednesday.

And we both ordered

the chicken teriyaki,

which is like, "It's fate. "

And then I haven't heard

from him since, you know?

Which is a bummer,

because I really liked him.

He didn't laugh

at any of my jokes,

but I felt like

there was something there.

I don't know.

Not like I even care.

It's like, whatever.

I should listen to my psychic.

She says, "Stop dating losers,

and never go on a plane. "

I knew it.

Oh, so you think

he's playing hard to get?

Or the more likely scenario:

He lost his phone in,

like, a fire.

Yeah, I think he lost

his phone.

Yeah. I do too.

You know, I...

I totally forgot.

I have a huge test on Monday

that I gotta study for.

So I'm just gonna do that

all night,

and definitely

don't come in my room.

Oh, okay.

Yeah. See you.

Night, sweetie.

But you know what?

I'm just gonna call him.

Now I'm worried

he's dead.

Hey, hey, hey.

Over here.

Wait. So how is this gonna work?

Are you my wingman,

or am I yours?

Is that what you're wearing

to the dance?

I gotta tell you something.

Get down.

Dude, no. This is a new suit.

Get off.

Where are the girls?

Uh, yeah, about that.

I just said that

to get you over here.

I need your help.
