Everyone
is asking questions.
Nothing ever happens here, and now this kid is missing.
They've been especially hard on Lilly. We told everyone who asked that yes,
Tommy was supposed to see us that afternoon, but he never made it. Various
people talked to us first together, then apart. Publicly, I'm consoling my distraught
best friend while the town looks for her missing boyfriend. Privately, we're
both freaking the fuck out.
Where is he? Why didn't he come back? Is he lost? Is he still lost? Is he
playing some sort of cruel joke, or waiting to exact his revenge? Should we be
scared? Of whom? Tommy or the police?
