Little Accidents Page #3

Bill, please call me when you get this.

Go on and brush your

teeth, James, it's 9:00.

What's wrong? I want dessert.

You can have an ice cream

sandwich, and that's it.

and get ready for bed, all right, buddy?

You want some?

No, I'm not hungry.

Here you go.

You guys gotta get back to

going to bed at a decent hour.

It's gonna be a rude

awakening on Monday.

You better be good.

Now, we're gonna need your okay to

get the word out to the community.

And we still have the

phone going to voice mail?

Yeah, he's not picking up.

Now, Mrs. Doyle, you answered a

number of questions last night,

but I'd like to fill a few holes

for myself, so bear with me.

Does JT have lots of friends?

Yeah, he's a very social kid.

He's got lots of activities,

football, baseball.

Baseball. Mmm-hmm.

Would you say he's a happy

kid? Yeah, I'd say so.

He was real frazzled yesterday,

you know, someone broke my windshield.

I'm sorry?

Yesterday morning, somebody

smashed up my windshield.

Well, would anyone be trying to

hurt the family for a work reason,

something in response to the accident?

Well, I can't even imagine that.

Do you have a sense of the

miners that work for you?

Any of them strange,

violent, resentful of you?

Have they expressed

any threats? -No. No.

Excuse me.

She doesn't wanna think that

this could involve foul play.

Can't it be that we're just

making a bigger deal out of this,

that he's just goofing off,

you know, with a friend of his?

Was there any joking

around in the woods,

like, being rowdy?

Just normal stuff. Talking, laughing.

Anybody fighting?

No, just goofing around.

The other boys said

that you brought beer.

Yeah.

No, there was some whiskey, too.

So after the guys left, did

you ever see JT come back

down that main path?

No.

But the boys told me that he went

back to get the bottle of whiskey.

So you must have seen him, right?

I didn't see him. I

guess I was already gone.

Is there something that

you're not telling me?

No, sir.

Everybody, let's welcome Amos back.

Thank you very much.

We have a little surprise for you.

No.

You should take what's leftover.

- Oh!

- Yeah.

Thank you. My dad might appreciate it.

How you been doing

these past few months?

All right.

Things got pretty ugly around here.

It's good you missed it.

Yeah.

Well, if you ever need anything,

or you wanna see a movie

sometime, just let me know.

I can't do that anymore. I

can hardly move and stuff.

I didn't mean it like that.

I guess I just don't feel

like my old self yet, Nell.

Well, I guess it's gonna take some time.

Nice seeing you, Amos.

So you're saying that

you never saw Bill Doyle

or any other individual in
