Wicked Little Things Page #4

What's a zombie, Mom?

It's nothing.

Finish your dinner.

Good night, baby.

Sleep tight.

Mom, if Mary came here to play,

would that be all right?

Well, I don't think she will, honey.

But if she did, would it?

Sure.

But you have to promise me

to never go near that mine again, okay?

Promise, love you.

I love you more.

The zombies won't eat me, Mom.

No, but I might.

Okay, now you have got

to go to sleep.

Sweet dreams.

The guys I met said

they're ghosts of children who were

buried in an old mine up here.

Emma?

These woods kind of creep me out.

The land of the zombie miner geeks.

Flesh-eating kids of Carlton.

Stop it you jerk-off.

It's just urban legend bullshit.

I got to piss... bad.

So, how come you're not in school?

My mother has to get

her sh*t together first.

She sort of had a nervous freak out

after it all happened.

Were you close to your dad?

Yeah. Real close.

I miss him a lot.

F***.

You scared the sh*t

out of me, man!

Wasn't f***ing funny.

F***.

Come on, guys!

We got to get her home by 11!

Sarah?

Damn it.

Come on, sugar.

We got God's work to do.

See you tomorrow?

Yeah.

I mean, sure.

Look, Tim, thank you--

I got to go.

See you tomorrow.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Bye.

Did you have a good time?

Yeah, I did.

He was nice.

What's wrong?

I found some...

old photographs of your father

and his family in the basement.

Wow.

Look how young he was.

How old were you guys

when you first met?

We were 16.

Then I got married at 17.

I had you at 18.

Fast worker, huh?

It must be weird to find all this stuff

about his family.

Yeah.

I didn't really know...

anything about them.

You know what he was like

every time we brought it up, I mean...

they just refused

to talk about him.

I didn't even know

they lived in Pennsylvania

until I found the deed

for this house in his papers.

It's like they were this secret.

Mom!

The water stopped working!

I'll check on it!

Thank you.

Oh, God.

Harold ain't answering his phone.

Must be out on a job.

You guys have to have

another plumber somewhere, right?

- There's one down in Hemet.

- Okay.

Let me see if I can find his number.

- He's more expensive.

- I don't even care.

I need what's on this list.

- Put it all on my account.

- Excuse me.

I'll be back after lunch.

Have it ready then.

I was kind of in the middle

of something he--

Who the hell was that rude bastard?

William Carlton.

He lives here?

No. The old Carlton mansion's in ruins.

He's up here surveying the land.

Gonna build a fancy ski resort.

You okay, Emma?

You seem quiet today.

Mary said she wouldn't hurt you,

but she doesn't know about the others.

When did you see Mary again?
