The Silent Thief Page #4

And I burned all of them.

Except the one they wouldn't

give me.

That one I kept.

What book was it?

Catcher in the rye.

Did you read it?

Tried to.

Every time, I'd just

get more angry.

Plus...

what?

It didn't have enough pictures.

Is that you, Brennan?

Yeah. I was getting a drink and I

heard mike talking in his sleep.

Really?

Yeah.

He hasn't talked in his sleep

since puberty.

It always feels so right

when he's home.

Sweet dreams, angel.

I've always wondered

what that's like.

What?

To be part of a family.

Goodnight, Brennan.

Goodnight.

Get some sleep.

- You have a casual ass?

- You have a casual ass?

He's got a serious ass,

obviously.

Name something that

grosses you out.

- Peanut butter.

- Peanut butter.

Peanut butter. Poor child.

- Yeah, I'm allergic to it!

- I'm allergic to it! A**hole.

Blah.

Blah.

Okay, who would win in a fair

fight:
Superman or wolverine?

Superman.

Yeah, no contest.

Clark Kent is so not cool, man.

I get it, but that's what I

like about him.

All this potential underneath.

Shirt comes open...

glasses come off...

hair changes...

it's kick ass...

that's twister.

Charades is just-

- That's right, that's right.

- Moving around from the waist up.

You go first.

Okay.

Brennan made these cookies

especially for you.

What? Why?

It's a small thank you to you

guys for your hospitality,

And to you mike, for everything

you shared with me.

- That's sweet.

- I know!

I can't. I'm stuffed.

Oh, mike.

No, really, mom, I ate too much.

Thanks.

Mike, you can eat one.

Honey, you're being rude.

What's the matter you?

I didn't raise you to be this way.

Have a cookie.

Mom, I'm not hungry.

He's not hungry.

Howard!

Fine! I'll eat a cookie.

Oh, it's not that bad.

Mike, here.

Oh my god, mike.

Son!

Oh my god, mike!

Thanks, kid, you're the best.

Your parents?

Died when I was twelve.

Tough break.

They were shits.

What are you keeping it for?

Throw it out.

They were alright when I was

younger.

I want to remember them.

Kid, I've lived a long time.

I've done some things.

I've watched people.

I don't know sh*t,

I don't know sh*t,

Except this.

You can't change what you are.

Is he okay?

He's fine.

What happened?

He had an allergic reaction.

There was peanut butter

in the cookies.

Oh my god, it's my fault.

You're goddamn right it was!

I want you out of here!

I didn't know.

How would I know?

Get out!

Fine.

Brennan.

Nice going, dad.

I want that kid out of this

house tonight!

That's not our problem, and

stop making excuses for him!

Sorry about my dad.

Mike's just his whole world.

He's really protective

of the family.

I understand.

You know, when

I was a little girl,

Dad used to say our family was

like a sand castle

And that all our problems were

like the tides.

Even a strong enough castle...

can withstand any tide.

Don't.

What, are you afraid someone's

gonna see us?

You shouldn't touch

me like that.

It's not appropriate.

You're back.

Look, I'm sorry man, I really didn't

know you were allergic to peanut butter.

Like hell you didn't.

Mike.

You stole my medal,

You took my knife,

And you just tried to kill me,

a**hole.

I swear I didn't know.

Look, I really don't think

he knew mike.

It's good to have you back.

Bullshit.

He tried to kill me,

and you're still on his side.

I'm not choosing sides.

I just think he made a mistake.

There's something really wrong with him,

Elise.

He didn't have a family, cut

him some slack.

You should really

try to rest up.

Brennan, thank you for letting

mike sleep in his own bed tonight.

It's the least I could do.

Goodnight.

Sleep well.

It's mike.

Can you meet me by jenny's pier

in 15 minutes.

It's about Brennan.

Who are you talking to?

I was just mumbling to myself.

What are you doing?

Well, you seemed upset the

other night so...

I'll forgive you.

I wanted to come

and make it up to you properly.

What are you doing?

What does it look like?

Look, stop, alright. Someone

might catch us.

Yeah, well, that didn't stop

you the other night.

Stop!

Look, I'm sorry.

It was a mistake.

What was?

Grabbing me or f***ing me?

Both.

Stop following me.

Where are you going?

What's the rope for?

Go home.

Goddamn it, Brennan!

Don't you care about me?

Of course, I care about you.

I care about you a lot.

I needed someone the other

night, and you were there.

Then what's the problem.

You're like a sister to me.

I like it like that.

You're the sister I never had...

to protect and

share secrets with.

Yeah, well you don't

have sex with your sister.

At least not in this country.

Not in mine either.

That's why it can't

happen again.

You have to be my sister.

I don't have to be your

anything.

Mike was right about you.

I'm sorry you feel that way,

But your dad doesn't like fish

scientists.

How's he gonna feel about having

a little slut...

for a daughter?

You wouldn't.

Try me...

now go!

Like a sister...

for once, I'm the punctual one.

Sorry.

What did you want to talk

to me abou-

Mike! Mike! Wake up,

something's going on!

Please...

it's Brennan, he's not here.

You were right, something's

really wrong with him.

Stay here.

Bad dreams?

Get the f*** out of here,

you're not welcome.

Alex asked me to say goodbye.

What did you do to him? Come

on, tell me what you did.

Here's what you're

going to do-

No!

No! Here's what

you're f***ing...

you f***ing touched him,

I'll kill you!

Go ahead.

And then you'll never find him.

Like two star-Crossed lovers.

So sad.

F*** you.

Now here's what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna go inside and tell

everybody the truth about you.

And if you're still here when I get

back I'm going to f***ing kill you.

Go ahead.

Tell them about me and I'll

tell them about you.

What about me?

About you and Alex

Being fairies.

Where is Alex?

How bad you want to know?

You know how bad.

Go tell them you're gay.

Tell your parents you're gay and I'll

help you get your lover boy back.

They're going to

know you put me up to it.

Oh really?

Even if I show them pictures of

you two kissing.

They'll disown you mike.

And I'll be there to pick up

the pieces.

I'll be the son they need,

A brother to Elise.

I'll be you.

You're f***ing crazy.

You better hurry

if you want to save Alex.

Candi... Candi.

I'm gay.

What?

I didn't want to tell you

like this,

But I've been dating Alex for

the last three years.

F***. I'm sorry.

I know how disappointed

you must be.

But I'm gay.

Now where is he?

Don't rush mum and dad.

It's a sensitive subject.

Mum and dad need a moment-

Oh wait, hold a second.

I'm not your mom. This is not

your business.

Mike.

Honey,

I love you,

So does your dad.

No matter what.

I like Alex.

Dad, I do too.

Look, you're not thinking, okay?

Where is he?

You're not thinking-

Where the f*** is he?

I'm the son you want! Don't

you see, the son you need!

What did you do to Alex?

No! Where the f*** is he?

Help!
