Sometimes They Come Back Page #5

---

I guess somehow I always

knew they would be.

- So what do you wanna do?

- I'm tired of being afraid.

I'm not gonna be afraid anymore.

Let's do it.

You know, I bet Vinnie

here a whole nickel...

that your old clunker

wouldn't burn rubber, Jimmy.

But I was wrong.

Everything burns.

What do you know?

It's Mueller time.

Is that you, Mueller?

What are you doing, man?

You belong with us, remember?

Look at you. You used

to be cool, man.

- Until your little belly turned yellow.

- My God!

- You got old.

- And ugly.

You stink, but we

missed you, Mueller.

You're gonna stand with us,

just like old times, man.

The gang's all here.

Everybody except for Wayne.

He's a definite no-show.

No! No!

- So, where we going?

- You don't know?

He sure as hell does.

We're going to the tunnel

for old times' sake, Mueller.

But first, I thought we'd stop off at

the old church to see some friends.

Mom?

- I'm hungry.

- Soon, when your father gets back.

It's Dad!

Scotty!

- Scotty, no.

- Did you light a candle for me?

- What are you waiting for?

- Go ahead.

Yeah, you first, Einstein.

Light a candle for me, Sally!

Come on out here, pretty baby!

Oh, please, Wayne. Please, help me.

I need you. I can't

do this by myself.

No matter what the pain

or the cost, I'll pay it.

Please, please, help me!

Wayne! Please!

Please, help me!

Did you feel that?

Yup.

I thought I felt someone

trying to come through.

Hey, Mueller,

maybe it was your mama.

Maybe it was your mama, North!

Sally?

We're gonna come back when we're

welcome, baby, around midnight.

Come on, Mueller.

- Scott?

- Dad's here!

Scott!

You love your daddy, Scott?

It's a nice kid you

got here, Mrs. Norman.

If you hurt him,

I swear to God, I'll...

Hey, come on, don't hurt the kid!

Shut up, Mueller.

Don't you know, Sally, that

nobody hits me and lives?

You're lucky I have a

date tonight to keep.

Otherwise you and I might have

a little fun of our own! Huh?

It's time to wail, boys.

"How much is three

times two, times two?"

"Oh, that's easy, 12."

"Like I always said, Jimmy, you got

all the brains in the family."

"You're not gonna go through

the tunnel, are you?"

"Sure. It's faster."

Hey, buttface,

you're blocking the road.

Oh, sissy with books.

Read me a story, sissy?

Dad! Dad, help!

- Scotty?

- Dad, help!

Call it insurance, Jimmy.

We wanted to make sure you weren't

gonna chicken out on us this time.

Jim!

Dad!

Jim!

Well, well, well, it's

good to see you, Jimmy.

You know the routine.

- How much money have you got?

- Twelve cents.

Liar. You gonna run and tell on us?

- I'm not running anywhere.

- Good.

'Cause we're gonna finish it this time.

And you're gonna come with us.

Wayne, I know you're

with me. I can feel you.

What's going on?

This. You wanna get through this

tunnel, you gotta pay, get it?

- So how much money have you got?

- Jim!

I told you, 12 cents.

- Mueller, what the hell are you doing?

- Leave him alone.

Vinnie, get this bum out

before I smack him!

What are you doing? You're

not supposed to kill him!

- You're gonna mess the whole thing up!

- Shut up!

He deserved it!

For every life they take,

another can come back, right?

We're gonna have company, boys.

My God!

Wayne?

Now the gang's all here, Vinnie.

- Leave us alone.

- Shut up!

Shut up.

You wanna get through this

tunnel, you gotta pay, get it?

- We're not going back!

- No!

There ain't no other way

back except our way!

I said, leave us alone.

You ain't coming

back this time, kid!

Vinnie, heads up!

Man, nobody hits me.

Oh, my God.

There's no train running

through here anymore.

- Run, Jimmy, run!

- Lawson? Remember this?

This is why you died.

No way.

It's all over, Lawson.

Now you can go to hell!

- Next time, man, there's always next time.

- No, this is it.

Come on. Let's go!

Come on.

Come on. Come on. Run for it.

Go!

- Come on, come on.

- No!

- Come on! Come on!

- Hey, kid!

Get down!

Dad!

- You all right?

- Yeah, I'm okay.

Okay-

Jimmy?

- No, Jim's my dad.

- But that's my cap. I gave it to Jimmy.

I know you did.

And I gave it to my son.

His name is Scott.

He's named after our dad.

I'm your brother, Wayne. I'm Jimmy.

No, that can't be.

Jimmy's my little brother.

- I'm still your little brother.

- My brother's nine years old.

I grew up.

It's been 27 years since...

Since you died.

I don't wanna go back.

Please, I wanna stay.

- I was all alone there.

- I'd do anything to have you back again...

to make up for all

those lost years.

You can't stay.

Then come with me, Jimmy.

Please, Jimmy, I need you with me.

We were always gonna stick

together, remember?

Wayne, please try to understand.

I can't go with you.

I have a wife and a son and

I love them very much.

Wayne?

Jim loves you so much.

But we need him here.

Scotty needs him.

The same way that Jimmy needed you.

I can't go with you, Wayne.

But you won't be alone anymore.

Now that this is over, you're

gonna go to a better place...

where Mom and Dad

are waiting for you.

I love you, Wayne.

And you'll always be in my

heart and in my thoughts.

And one day, we'll be

together again, I promise.

Wayne?

You and me, we'll

always stick together.

Scotty, I want you to hold on

to these and don't lose them.

What are they?

Good luck coins.

My big brother gave them to me.
