Strange Things Are Happening, chapter 1
It was ending like any other day. The air was warm, the sky was getting dark, the sun was setting, and the Green Day tour bus was reeking of alcohol.
"Yeah, pour me some more of that Cheech!" exclaimed the rather tipsy Tre Cool.
Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt laughed as their friend and bandmate fell down while trying to reach the silver tequila.
While Mike was trying to help Tre up, Billie Joe looked out the tinted bus window. He could see the bright lights of the city fading in the distance.
He frowned as he thought of the show that they had just got done playing at. It definitely was not the best. The crowd was not very enthused. He thought about doing the whole mooning stunt, but that was the Milwaukee Arena; the same place that he had been arrested for indecent exposure ten years ago. He did NOT want to risk that again.
Not only was the crowd uninspired, but Green Day hadn't been able to do their encore. After going to the backstage area for a few minutes before the encore, he had dropped his guitar, and the body spilt in two. There was no replacement guitar either. A fan had stolen one that night, he gave one away, and the airport had "misplaced" his other ones the day before.
Suddenly, Billie was interrupted from his thoughts by the bus jerking to a stop. Billie instinctually grabbed hold of the bar above the window to keep from falling over. He looked over and watched as Mike and Tre both hit the floor as the bus skidded to a halt.
"What the hell's going on?!?" yelled Mike as he barged through the door to the driver's area. Billie Joe and Tre were right behind him.
Mike just stood still. A sensation of fear washed over Billie Joe and Tre as they watched Mike's reaction.
"Mike," started Tre, "What's wrong?"
"The driver's gone... " said Mike in a confused yet scared voice.
