Strange Things Are Happening, chapter 22
"Yeah," started Billie Joe, "We're all just a little shaken up. That's all."
"Okay," she replied, "and you all should be. It's not a good idea to be on these roads at this time of night when there's a missing body."
"Maybe the person wasn't dead," Tre said.
Jessica looked away and didn't say anything.
Tre repeated himself.
"It's impossible," Jessica mumbled.
"Why?"
She sighed heavily, "Because I was out here earlier. There was a body. The person was dead, and had been dead for a while. Here, you can look at her picture and see that she was dead."
Jessica held out a picture. No one reached for it. Jessica shook the picture a little bit, trying to get one of them to look at the picture she was holding.
Finally, Tre reached out and grabbed the picture. His face automatically wrinkled up in a look of disgust. It was gruesome. There was blood everywhere, and the girl had cuts and bruises all over her body.
Then, Tre's face fell as he looked at her shirt.
"What's wrong?" asked Mike walking over.
Tre pointed to her shirt- it was a Green Day shirt.
"She was a fan," he mumbled. He looked over at Mike.
Mike just stood there, pale. His mouth was open in shock.
"That's the girl from my dream! The zombie! The one that killed you and Billie!"
"Just perfect... " thought Tre.
"Okay," she replied, "and you all should be. It's not a good idea to be on these roads at this time of night when there's a missing body."
