We Are Not Alone Page #4

Never heard of it.

I know, that's the problem.

A lot of people

have never heard of it.

If you want to...

you can come over later

and read it.

If you want to.

Yes, I want to.

- Then you can.

Okay.

- Okay.

You'll have to wait until

I finish my shift. - Of course.

Great. Very good.

Good.

Eddie!

Hey.

What's up, champ?

I'm a champ? You're the champ.

I'm onto you.

Dancing, gettin' it on...

Oh... right.

Who's the girl?

Just someone who...

I threw out of the mall and...

- I hope you're being careful.

How's it going?

Come here often?

Careful? In what way?

Did you give her any money?

Buy her anything?

No.

I bought her some pizza.

Has she already moved in with you?

Girls like those don't

waste any time.

It's not what you think.

Her parents are dead.

- Uh-huh.

She's all alone.

- Right. Heartbreaking.

Eddie, you're talking to a guy

who's been around, okay?

I understand you, believe me.

At first everything's great.

Give her a lollipop

and she's yours forever.

The problem starts right after that.

- What problem?

They cling.

Like sh*t to a shoe.

They're the Depriveds.

- Depriveds?

Messed-up families, drugs.

Why do you think they hang

out here all day?

I had one like that.

Don't remind me.

Let's just say she messed up

my life real good.

Really? - Police, trouble...

- Wow.

You're leaving soon,

aren't you?

Yes.

M.D.F., Eddie, M.D.F.

Motivation. Drive. Focus.

Motivation. Drive. Focus.

Motivation. Drive. Focus.

Motivation...

Motivation. Drive. Focus.

Eddie!

What?

Bring me a towel.

What?

- Bring me a towel!

You're getting my book wet.

Don't worry.

- Uh... I'm not worried.

It has nothing to do

with worrying.

Just don't get my book wet, okay?

Got it.

- Okay.

Are you comfortable here?

It's okay.

Why, am I bothering you, Eddie?

- No.

Not at all.

You know...

it doesn't bother me when you

touch my things and take showers,

and use the bedroom, even though

it's not allowed... - I see.

It's just...

I have nowhere to go, Eddie.

- I'm in the middle of something.

They're coming after me.

- Something very important, and...

Who?

The people who killed my parents.

Your parents died of cancer.

My parents were murdered.

I know who did it.

I don't believe you.

You don't believe me?

- No.

You can believe in flying saucers

and dying civilizations

and aliens who will save you

from global disasters,

but when I tell you the simple truth...

- May, I'm not in the mood!

You don't want to believe me?

I'm in the middle of something

very, very important, May.

Something I've been waiting for...

...for a long, long time.

It's something...

You don't have to go now.

You can sleep here...
