The Sighting Page #2

---

At least three people up there

told me that house

belongs to a girl.

You... make one ugly girl.

- Okay, Joey,

I think they get the point.

- They'll get the point

once they've paid the price.

It's called cause and effect:

you break the law,

you pay the price.

- May I handle this one?

- I've got it under control.

- Look at 'em, Joey.

I think

they learned their lesson.

Please?

- Okay. Sure.

You best be slappin' em

on the wrist.

You better be slappin' em

on the wrist real hard, Radley.

- Joey.

I think he forgets

he was in high school once.

Looks like you have

a pretty good turnout.

- I know.

I'm really, really sorry.

I just invited a few people.

I don't know what happened...

- It's to be expected.

Kids just wanna celebrate.

So, listen, tell everyone

to plan on a sleepover,

because there will be absolutely

no drunk driving tonight.

Okay, I will not put up with it.

And in return,

I'll keep this ticket-book

closed.

- Thank you so much,

- Oh, my God, thank you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

- Okay, then.

I'll just be on my way.

Oh, hey.

Happy graduation.

- Oh, my God.

- So, Nate, what time

d'you get home last night?

- Who says I made it home?

Touch.

- Seriously, Bill, organic milk?

- What? It's good for ya.

- Hippie.

- Alright. You ready for this?

Gotta go.

- Okay.

- Love you.

- Love you, too.

Getting a late start.

Can I make ya a sandwich?

- No, thanks,

my stomach couldn't handle it.

Too much apple juice.

- Here. Take it.

You'll thank me.

- Thanks.

- Some advice my father

gave to me, Trav:

stay out of seedy places

and stay out of seedy women.

- Oh, look out!

That's funny. And gross.

- I'm serious, buddy.

Be responsible. Be safe.

- I will. I will.

- Here. Take my cell.

- Okay.

- Get on the road ASAP.

- I will.

- Okay.

- Alright.

- Hey.

You'd forget your head

if it wasn't...

- Attached to your neck.

Gotcha.

Okay. Let's go, bud.

Fill up on gas?

- Yeah.

- Get your car alarm fixed?

- In a manner of speaking. Yah!

- Hey, Nate,

can I make you PB&J?

- What do you got over there,

crunchy or creamy?

- Uh, it's extra-crunchy.

- Never in a million years,

Bill.

- Trav, you got the cellphone?

- I got it.

- Okay, cool.

- I love you.

- Love you, too.

Call me when you get there.

- We didn't get on the road

until after 5:
00.

My dad was right.

It was late.

Too late.

The sun... the sun seemed

to set quicker that day.

I don't know...

I've always hated the dark.

Maybe, deep down,

I knew that something

was waiting for me in it.

I wandered out too far

In the middle of a daydream

And lost the sun

And with the darkness

Came the immediate feeling

that I should run
