Sugar Mountain Page #2

---

Have you been writing

about the hoax?

Of course not.

I remember stealing your

diary when you were eleven.

I reported that to your dad.

I wanted you arrested.

Yeah.

And he wanted to

arrest your dad.

What?

I showed him what you wrote.

Right, right.

I have an idea, but it

means I'm gonna need to

steal your diary again.

Liam, come on.

Liam!

You're kidding

about this, right?

It's not real.

I want to flip her

and thrust into her.

We need people to

think I'm jealous.

That I'd wanna kill you.

You're left for dead and

he gets falsely accused.

And explode onto her

back like a geyser.

So when you return

it's a better story.

It's two stories.

We double our money.

I love it.

But they're gonna think

you're an a**hole.

I mean, you can't

use this stuff.

Come on.

This is filthy.

Okay. Can I have it back now?

When I finish reading it.

You're done reading it.

Oh.

Give me one of those.

Here, buddy, buddy, buddy.

Bon Jour!

Hey, Angie.

Creamer. Yeah.

When do you go?

A few days before I start

classes so I can have a

little look see.

And park Disneyland.

Hey, Liam.

Is miles good?

No, miles is bad.

He is not.

Not to me.

He doesn't treat

me like a retard.

I'm sorry, I'm just kidding.

So is that it?

No, I need a hunting knife.

What are you hunting?

Miles.

It's for miles.

Oh, the moose on the

handle is the best one.

Only four hundred bucks.

Miles deserves that one.

It's only sixty.

Cool.

Should I put it on your account?

Thanks.

We'll settle up soon.

Yeah, of course.

No hurry.

Moose on the handle's better.

He's exhausting.

I'll trade you brothers.

Depends.

Do I get miles or you?

Yes, miles, I got the knife.

Josh rang it through.

Great, that's even better, man.

Oh! Number four!

You ready?

We gotta go.

We gotta do this.

- We gotta do it right now.

- I don't know, man.

- I'm not up to it.

- Come on, Liam.

- It'll be fine.

- Let's do this.

Number four.

Who's got number four?

Liam west, check your

friggin' ticket.

- Liam! Dude!

- Four!

A dozen fudge muffins

from Angie Miller.

Who is off to Paris next week

to become a cosmetologist.

Does it have to be tonight?

Yeah.

- Let's just do it.

- Here you go.

The winner is...

Ah! Number four!

Eddie!

Hey, hey! Okay.

Thank you, guys.

Thank you very much.

Come on, man.

No more cheating, alright?

No, who's cheating.

I don't see anybody cheating.

Jesus, miles.

I don't wanna do this.

Brother, we had a deal, okay?

Now we gotta make this thing.

Come on, let's go right now.

It's alright.

Oh, I thought you were still...

Paroled. How about that?

Nice, man.

Sup, little runt?

You good?

- Yeah, I think so.

- Yeah, you look good.

How about I buy a round?

Lend me 50.

Hey, brother. Let's go grab

a smoke real quick, alright?

Let's do that.

Hey, it's good to see you.

How you doing?

We'll be back in

a couple minutes.

Yummy.

I mean, look at this,

look at this.

Look at all these people.

Come on.

And the winner is...

Number three.

How much do you owe me?

Well, that's what I was

gonna tell you about.

See, Liam's kinda got me held

down and I can't really...

Hey. Hey. Hey!

Look, in two weeks.

It'll be over.

You'll get the boat back.

All my life, he's got me doing

things that I didn't wanna do.

I know, but you

can't pull out now.

He doesn't need me anymore.

But I do.

I can't do it without you.

Hey, what the f*** you doing?

Nothing.

Hey, I'm talking to you.

Come here.

I saw you with your

hands all over her.

Not now.

Come here, boy.

You know it is true.

You do look at her all the

f***ing time, don't you?

- That's bullshit.

- Yeah, nothing happened.

I'm talking to you.

Come on, guys.

Knock it off.

It's true.

Now you tell her.

Hey, that's enough.

Break it up.

You sh*t. You tell

the f***ing truth.

Okay, you selfish prick.

Man, you'll use anyone

to get what you want.

And you don't

f***ing deserve her.

Damn!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Let him go!

When you get to the frozen river

what direction are you heading?

North.

I flipped you up on that

pool table like it was the

end of a hot date

last night, didn't I?

You alright?

Yeah.

You know it didn't

mean anything, right?

Miles.

Alright, I'll catch you around.

Excuse me.

I'm kidding.

- I'm kidding.

- Don't do that.

Come here, come here.

I'll miss you.

I'll miss you, too.

Okay.

We need to split up.

Okay.

Oh! Whoa!

Yeah! Yeah, boy.

That was a good one.

That's a good one.

Give me those.

I know you're doing this for me.

I love you for it.

Ah!

I'm sorry, man.

Here we go.

Man, I'm sorry.

Really, I'm sorry.

I'm gonna make this

up to you, alright?

I promise you that.

Okay?

What happened?

Sit down.

You're all bleeding.

Sit down.

Get him some water.

Okay.

It's miles.

Miles?

F***, f***.

Miles!

All volunteers must first

sign in in the red cross tent.

You went through the

forest right here?

We were hiking up the

south side of the peak.

He's so competitive.

Did you try his cell phone?

He left it charging

in the truck.

You had a fight

the night before.

I thought a hike might

help clear the air.

Because you came onto Lauren?

I wasn't.

Then why was he so pissed?

I mean, did something happen?

No.

So you're not interested in her?

No.

Why don't you have a girlfriend?

I mean, I hear Angie Miller

would like to take you out.

What?

Can we just go find him?

Alright.

Is he stressed or agitated?

No, he was good.

Did he say anything

about Joe bright?

They're old friends.

Maybe he gave miles a

reason to disappear.

No, it's got nothing

to do with Joe bright.

He's just... he's lost.

Mhm.

And uh, how long did

you look for him?

Hours.

And then I went back

to truck and waited.

And that's when you

went and told Angie.

Yes.

Alright, that's it for now.

You can go look

for your brother.

Liam.

Keep your cell phone on.

We only just got here.

We got real good

fluff yesterday.

Well, if you see

or hear anything...

Yes, sir.

I heard something.

- When?

- Yesterday.

And this was on the north

side of the mountain?

Yeah, first we thought it was

an animal. It kept going...

And then there was a groan

like it tripped or something.

My brother heard it, too.

Yeah, we went looking, but

we didn't find anything.

What time was this at, boys?

After lunch, about two.

No, miles was still

with me at two.

Okay.

Good job, troops.

Remember stay alert.

Report anything you see or hear.

Let's get back out there.

With miles west missing

for over 18 hours, a large

media contingent has begun

pouring into base camp.

Sugar mountain police say

rescue is crucial within

the next 48 hours in

these cold conditions.

Put your arms around me.

They're filming.

How was it out there?

Some scouts claim

they saw miles.

No.

It's alright now.

Hopefully they find

the beanie soon.

And Josh turned in

the knife, right?

I felt so bad lying to your dad.

Don't feel bad.

He's the biggest liar I know.

He cheated on mom.
