Odd Thomas Page #3

Me and this guy, we were

both lying dead all busted up...

like we'd been shot

to pieces or something.

You know, I wouldn't worry

about it, Vi.

I mean, have any of

your dreams ever come true?

No.

I know most people think

you're just quirky or weird, Odd...

except Stormy who thinks

angels fly out of your butt.

But I know there's more to it.

You have a secret.

You're either a clairvoyant...

a psychic, a seer,

a soothsayer, or something.

Or you got yourself some juice

with a higher power.

And I need to know.

Tell me the truth now, Odd.

Do you see death in me?

No. No, all I see

is my own insensitivity...

and a long,

happy life for you, okay?

Hey, Vi, the the dead guy

in your dream, what was he wearing?

Wearing? I don't know.

Oh! Wait. Yeah...

a red and black shirt with

black bowling balls on it.

One of my stranger abilities is

that when I need to find someone...

like right now, the creepy

guy in the diner,

I can randomly wander around, and

pretty quickly, I'll run into him.

This is a talent for

which I have no name.

Stormy calls it psychic magnetism.

TIRE WORLD:

Super Summer Sale

That's Tom Jedd.

He was my little league coach.

Been hanging around Tire World for

years, although I don't know why.

His death was not caused

by a defective tire.

Such a beautifuI girl-

There is something about

a dead man trying to get a laugh...

that just bugs me.

Perhaps because it suggests

that even in death...

we still have a pathetic

need to be liked.

As well as the ever-present

ability to humiliate ourselves.

Where are you?

Where are you?

MANAGER Stormy

When I finally have my own shop,

no stupid uniforms.

I think you look adorable.

Adorable? Really?

Puppies are adorable.

Why are you here so early?

You missing me?

Always.

But I'm here looking for a guy.

A creepy guy.

Well, with you,

there can be no other kind.

My psychic magnetism

brought me here.

- That guy?

- That guy.

You are better than a bloodhound.

What is that thing on his head?

Hair.

It looks like a yellow yarmulke.

No, it's hair.

Any of those bodachs with him?

More than I've ever seen before.

You're not shivering

'cause of cold ice cream, are you?

I'm gonna see what this guy's up to.

- Stormy, wait, wait.

- You, sit.

You think those fish

are up to something?

All fish do are eat, excrete,

and fornicate all in the same water.

Fish are disgusting.

Oh, I never thought so till now.

Your creepy friend is buying

two gallons of the summer special.

Are the flavors significant?

That's your department.

I'm just reporting in.

Cherry chocolate coconut chunk?

Coconut cherry chocolate chunk.

I didn't realize the grammar was
