Child Eater Page #2

---

no reception out there

and I'm really

terrified of the dark.

You're eating melted ice cream.

That's super gross.

- Nope, it's best like this.

(laughs)

How did you know I was here?

- Casey might have

told me something.

I do think it's super

weird that I've got to

talk to Casey to figure out

where you are these days.

- Yeah, I've been working a lot.

- So this is the old

Bowery place, huh?

Got to admit, I expected

something a little more Gothic.

Did you find any dead

bodies in the walls?

- No.

It's just a house,

a normal house.

- Yeah, people that bought

it might be a little, right?

- Nope, perfectly normal.

Well--

- Well?

- I don't know, maybe I

don't understand boys.

Did you ever trap animals

when you were a kid?

- Trap animals?

- Not to hurt them,

I don't think,

I think he just

wanted to keep them.

I don't know.

Maybe he is a little weird.

- Maybe.

- But you know that's really

none of your business.

You should go.

- Oh come on, it will

be like we're teenagers.

I'll be the bad

boyfriend sneaking in.

- We're not teenagers anymore.

- Helen, who's he?

- He's here to help me babysit.

- What up, little man?

I'm Tom.

- You're not supposed

to have company.

- [Helen] I know.

Tom was just about to leave.

What is it?

Is anything wrong?

- [Lucas] First it

was like breathing.

Then, a voice, whispering.

- See I told you that

movie was a bad idea.

- It's not the film, I heard it.

Someone is in there.

- Okay.

Let's see then.

- [Lucas] Wait!

(sighs)

- [Helen] It's nothing, Lucas.

Old houses make strange

sounds sometimes.

(eerie dramatic music)

See, empty.

Now you're going to go to bed.

- [Lucas] You think

I'm making it up.

You just want me to stay up

here, so you can be with him.

- I already told you I was

going to tell him to leave.

- [Lucas] No you're not.

- Listen you don't need

to worry about things

that don't concern you.

There is nothing in your closet.

The only reason you're

scared is because

I let you watch

that scary movie.

- What if it's that old man?

- There is no old man, okay?

It's just all in your head.

- Yeah because I'm a weird kid.

(sighs)

- Lucas--

- You can leave now.

I'm going to bed.

(eerie somber music)

- So was it Robert Bowery?

- [Helen] You're still here.

- He's not scared

of the Boogie Man.

He's got a crush on you, and

he wants to get rid of me.

Smart kid.

- I think I messed that one up.

- What are you talking about?

He's a kid, he's going

to forget in two seconds.

What does that even mean?

If you mess up, you can't

babysit here anymore?

Big deal.

(ethereal somber music)

I think it's actually

a good thing,
