Way of the Wicked Page #2

You know, the moment

I set eyes on her, I fell in love with her.

It took me a while though.

Got her to go for a walk with me.

She told me flat out, there and then,

that she wasn't interested.

And then for some bizarre reason, we ended

up doing this trip out here to the States.

Got together.

Stayed here, and never went back to the UK.

Two years later, you were born.

Suppose I'm persistent.

I admire that in you.

And you make the world's best

corn on the cob.

Huh, you're only saying that

'cause it's mum's recipe.

You know, babe,

why don't you just tell him how you feel?

It's kinda tough.

Why?

Bad timing.

I don't want him to think

it's some sympathy thing.

Why would he think that?

He's in the hospital.

For what?

It was stupid.

He got into a fight with Robbie Mueller.

Robbie Mueller?

How do I know that name?

Remember when that boy choked to death

five years ago?

Yeah.

Robbie's the one that got the blame.

He moved away.

So he's back now and he's at your school?

Just started.

Today, Greg got into a fight with Robbie.

It was my fault, really.

So, you've got the boys

fighting over my princess, have ya?

I don't wanna talk about it, okay?

Okay, babe.

This Robbie Mueller,

does he get into a lot of fights, babe?

I don't know.

You said you used to fight a lot.

Can I be excused?

I should call Greg.

Of course, babe.

Do what you gotta do.

Will you just listen

for a second, please?

Greg. Greg, just listen to me.

You're not giving me a chance to explain.

You gotta understand...

No, that's not what happened.

No, but you don't understand. Robbie...

No!

Seriously? No, that's not what happened.

If you would just listen...

No, no, that's such sh*t!

No, Robbie didn't...

Greg, please listen.

F*** you.

- You okay, love?

- Please just leave me alone.

I'm trying to go to sleep.

Do you wanna talk?

Dad, please.

Hey!

- You're back.

- That was interesting,

what you said in class the other day

about life on other planets.

Look around.

Bible says we're the

center of the universe.

If this is the center,

it must be a sick joke.

Right?

Sorry about what happened in the hallway.

Only person who's sorry is Greg.

I thought about you over the years.

Really?

You were the only friend I had.

There must've been some girls

after you at the other school.

No.

Not interested.

Not interested in some

rich fathers daughter?

Not interested in their snotty, uptight,

God's gift to the universe attitude.

Not everybody is as down to Earth as you.

Or as pretty.

Can I ask you something?

What do you think happened in the hallway?

Hell, if I know.

He must've choked on something and then

tossed himself on the lockers to dislodge it.

Some people saw you touch him.

That's bullshit.

It was just like that day after school

five years ago.

Coincidence?

Both times I didn't touch anyone.

What are you getting at, Heather?

Just curious.

Just watch out for him, okay?

He's dangerous, he only

wants in your pants.

And how do you know that?

Pretty obvious, isn't it?

See ya.

Hey!

You never answered my question.

What question?

Homecoming?

Hope I'm not interrupting anything.

Timing is impeccable, as always.

See you later.

Yeah.

See you later.

Do you wanna fill me in?

Hey, gorgeous, you need a lift?

Come on, Heather,

I'm in a lot of pain here.

Serves you right.

Gimme a break,

you called me when I was sleeping.

I just wanted to see how you were doing.

I was concerned, okay?

I'm sorry.

You called me at a bad time,

I wasn't sleeping so good.

No one's ever been that rude to me before.

Look, I've been a total jerk.

I know that.

Let me make it up to you.

Don't think so.

If you called last night,

that means you cared.

I changed my mind.

Then let me change it again.

I'm sorry. I don't know how many

times you want me to tell you that.

I'm going to the river.

Come hang with me, we'll talk. That's all.

Please?

I just... I'm really sorry and...

I need to talk to you.

- Stop it. I said "Stop"!

- Oh.

You are looking so sexy.

Heather, I'm crazy about you.

You don't even know me, okay?

Look.

I've got something to tell you.

Yeah, yeah. So do I.

Lighten up.

Come on, it won't kill you.

I don't know.

Don't be lame, come on.

Ah!

You're so hot right now.

My hands have a mind of their own

when I'm with you.

Yeah, well, keep 'em to yourself.

I'll see what I can do.

You must think

I'm a total fucktard, don't you?

Greg.

I just wanna be your friend.

Don't take it personally.

That's harsh.

What was that?

What?

I just saw something.

Been some crazy sh*t

going on with me lately.

I didn't tell what happened

in the hospital,

but I think someone's been following me.

What?

Yeah.

Now, don't worry. It's a...

It's just the medication they're giving me.

You know, all the headaches.

Look, we're being paranoid, all right?

Let's just, uh...

We'll stop smoking and we'll calm down.

Just relax, baby.

- I am not your baby.

- Just come here.

- Greg, stop!

- Hey.

You don't even know

what you're missing, come on.

You'll be missing something

if you don't get off me.

- Greg!

- I'll get off, all right.

- Stop it.

- Come here.

Whoa!

Stupid son of a b*tch.

Stay away from me, a**hole.

Get back here!

That's my f***ing car!

F***ing b*tch.

You? What the hell are you doing out here?

Stay the f*** away from her.

You're gonna pay for that, Mueller.

Piece of sh*t!

Argh!

No!

Uh, yeah.

John, you're never

gonna believe this.

- What you got?

- Oh, you gotta see it to believe it.

F***ing sh*t storm in here.

- Was it a drunk farmer?

- Ha! Normally I'd say, "Yeah."

A guy got wasted, hopped the tractor,

ran it over his buddy.

Thing is, check it out.

This tractor, it's got no guts.

No points, no plugs.

John, it's got no f***ing engine.

- So, how has it got so far up the track?

- You tell me.

Maybe it spread its wings and flew.

Gets worse.

We found a bag.

It belongs to Greg Forsythe.

- Didn't he go to school with Heather?

- Yeah, John, he did.

We also found Heather's wallet.

Where?

Up the fire road.

Baby' it's me.

Listen, don't talk, don't say anything.

There's been an emergency.

I need you to get home straight away.

Yeah, okay.

I'll call ya!

Honey.

I don't want any lectures.

It's Greg's car, I'll deal with it.

Please, darling.

Just hear me out, could you?

We found Greg this morning.

He's dead.

What?

When?

I don't know, just...

Sometime early, in the early hours.

Listen, I need to ask you some questions.

Do you think you're up for it, babe?

Good girl.

Did you go out

to the wheat field with him last night?

Did you tell anybody

you were going out there?

Did anybody know you was with him?

What time did you leave him?

I left him around 12:30.

And did you straight to Cindy's?

Yes.

What happened to him?

We just don't know at the moment.

We're investigating it now.

Babe, I just need you to stay here for us.

You know, I'm going to

find out who did this.
