Jane Doe: The Harder They Fall Page #6

HUH, MAYBE.

- WHERE ARE WE GOING?

- THIS WAY.

- WHAT'S HE DOING IN THERE?

- AW, HE'S A JERK.

WHEN I SAY--

10 GRAMS OF SUGAR--

PER SERVING.

WHAT COMES TO MIND?

WELL, THE CORN RINGS

HAVE ALWAYS BEEN--

WAIT A MINUTE.

THE CHAIR.

UH, THIS GARAGE

IS A MESS.

YOU TWO, I'M GOING

TO THE BANK:

SO DON'T KILL EACH OTHER,

ALL RIGHT?

I'M GOING TO QUENTIN'S.

THAT'S GREAT, HONEY.

- Both:
BYE, MOM

- BYE, HUN.

HEY, NICK,

CAN I TALK TO YOU?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

YOU'RE ACTING EVEN

WEIRDER THAN USUAL.

MOM ALWAYS SAID:

WHEN PUSH CAME TO SHOVE,

IT'S FAMILY THAT WILL

COME THROUGH FOR YOU.

THAT IN THE END,

YOU AND I WILL ALWAYS BE ABLE

TO DEPEND ON EACH OTHER, RIGHT?

DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU

WANT TO DEPEND ON ME FOR.

YOU HAVE TO PROMISE

NOT TO TELL MOM AND DAD.

I'M IN TROUBLE.

YOU KNOW THAT FANTASY

STOCK PORTFOLIO:

I PUT TOGETHER:

FOR ECONOMICS CLASS?

UH-HUH.

WELL, IT'S NO COMPLETELY FANTASY.

I USED REAL MONEY.

HOW'D YOU GET MONEY

TO INVEST IN THE STOCK MARKET?

I BORROWED I FROM MY SAVINGS ACCOUNT.

THAT'S FOR COLLEGE.

HOW'D YOU EVEN GET IT?

I USED MOM'S PASSWORD

FROM HER COMPUTER.

MOM IS GONNA KILL YOU.

I DID ALL THE RESEARCH

AND I PICKED:

REALLY GOOD STOCKS.

AND I WAS DOING REALLY WELL

UNTIL STUPID HORNING DIED.

NICK, IF MOM AND DAD FIND

OUT THAT I LOST MY SAVINGS,

DAD'S GONNA HAVE

A HEART ATTACK.

THEN IT'S OBVIOUS,

ISN'T IT?

THEY CAN'T FIND OUT.

THANKS. SO WHAT ARE

WE GONNA DO?

I GOT SOME IDEAS.

HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE.

LET ME HELP YOU:

WITH THESE.

OH, THANKS.

OH, IT'S YOU. HI.

- HI.

- LOOK, UM,

WHAT I SAID:

ABOUT MR. LEONARD,

YOU'RE NOT GONNA PRIN ANY OF THAT, ARE YOU?

AND GET YOU IN TROUBLE

WITH YOUR BOSS?

I'M NOT THAT KIND

OF REPORTER.

GOOD. BECAUSE I LOVE

MY JOB.

WELL--

I DON'T REALLY LOVE IT.

IT'S PRETTY LOUSY ACTUALLY.

LOOK, I JUST WANTED

TO ASK YOU ONE QUESTION.

AS LONG AS IT'S NO ABOUT MR. LEONARD.

NO, NO, NO. IT'S ABOU MELVILLE HORNING.

NOW YOU MET HIM,

WHAT IS HE REALLY LIKE?

HORNING?

UM--

UH--

YOU KNOW, HE'S NOT AS BAD

AS EVERYONE SAYS, I GUESS.

UM--

HE WAS NEVER HERE,

WAS HE?

LOOK, I TOLD YOU BEFORE

I'M NOT THAT KIND

OF REPORTER.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING.

JUST MOVE YOUR HEAD.

WAS MELVILLE HORNING

EVEN HERE ON MONDAY?

YEAH. THEY SAID HE WAS OFF

IN SOME SECRET STUDIO

SOMEWHERE BECAUSE OF HOW

PARANOID AND WEIRD HE IS.

BUT I DON'T EVEN THINK

IT WAS A LIVE FEED.

I THINK IT WAS SOME OLD

CANNED PIECE THEY EDITED IN.

I PROOFREAD THE QUESTIONS--

THEY WERE CONSTRUCTED

TO GO WITH THE ANSWERS.

NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

WHY WOULD SOMEONE WITH

LEN LEONARD'S REPUTATION

DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

THE BUZZ IS THA THE BIG BRASS

BOUGHT PRESSURE TO BEAR,

BUT I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY.
