And Soon the Darkness Page #3

Because God knows

you never would have.

What the hell is that

supposed to mean?

You know what?

Just-- just forget about it.

No, bullshit forget it.

Say what you mean.

I mean, Steph, God forbid you take

a chance on another guy

instead of dwelling

on the same old one.

He said wed work it out, El.

Stephanie, he cheated on you.

This is crazy to me that

you're still defending him.

You should have dumped

that guy right on the spot.

But you didn't.

And now you're hurt

and I have to pick up your pieces

of yet another disaster relationship.

What? Is this coming

from you, the expert?

You think a relationship is when

you get the guy's last name.

Wow.

You know what?

Screw you.

Nice.

Steph, wait.

Where are you going?

What do you care?

You're on vacation, Ellie.

I don't want you to have to worry

about cleaning up after me.

Have fun.

Come on, El, where are you?

Oh my--

So it's me.

Um, where are you?

I'm at the cow place now.

Um, okay.

So call me.

Bye.

Hey'

- Hi.

- Where's your friend?

Coming.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Any minute now.

Oh hey, thanks for your help

last night with that guy.

- He was a real creep.

- Yeah, he was.

You know what?

Probably got a flat or something.

I'd better go.

But see you around, uh...

- Michael.

- Stephanie.

Hey, where are you going?

I'll give you a lift.

No, I'm okay.

Thanks though.

Wait! No!

Somebody! No!

No!

Hey'

You follow me here?

Yeah. I just wanted to make sure

you were all right.

Are you?

'Cause you don't look it.

Her bike is gone.

Well...

Well, maybe she left already.

No, there's only one road.

I mean, we would have

passed each other.

Right.

I'm gonna go inside

and look for her.

Are you sure this is the place?

- Yeah, I'm positive.

Do you hear that?

- It's over here somewhere.

- Ellie!

Who are you calling?

The police.

Good luck with that.

- Hola.

- Hola.

- Michael.

- Calvo.

- What did he say?

- We're gonna show him.

Here, give me the phone.

Calvo.

- What did he just ask?

- He asked...

Why were you and your friend

not together?

We got separated.

Separated?

How did you get separated?

It was stupid.

We got in a fight.

Oh.

Well, I am sure she will forgive you.

Wait, where are you going?

Your friend is fine.

When she realizes she has lost her

phone she will come back to find it.

Senor, please wait.

Where are you going?

Calvo.

Michael.

Do yourself a favor

and find another lover.

This one has a habit

of losing his girlfriends.

Hey. Hey!

I am very sorry, but I...

She was with a guy last night.

What did he look like?

He was tall.

He had brown hair.

Brown hair?

You just described half

of Argentina.
