Strange Things Are Happening, chapter 24
The car went bouncing along down the road. Jessica was driving, Billie Joe was in the passenger side seat, and Tre was sitting in the back.
He was still worried about what would happen. Tre couldn't understand how in the hell Billie could be fucking around with the radio while Jessica told them the dead girl case thus far.
Finally, Billie Joe stopped on a decent rock station. It was playing the last few chords of "Pieces" by Sum 41.
"I like their new song," said Billie Joe, looking back at Tre.
"Oh...yeah," Tre answered back quietly.
Billie didn't say anything else, but grinned as the opening chords of "When I Come Around" blasted through the speakers.
Jessica reached over and turned up the radio.
"I love this song! I wish I knew who did it..."
"You're in the car with two of the members of that band..." Billie Joe said.
Jessica's face grew red, "Oh, sorry."
The car ride was silent the rest of the way... minus Billie Joe's young and nasally sounding voice belting out the lyrics on the radio. The car pulled into a police station.
"You two wait here," Jessica said, before stepping out and running into the station.
"We're going to die," mumbled Tre.
"What?" Asked Billie.
"Nothing."
Tre sat in the back and kept quiet. He watched as pieces of paper fluttered in the wind. The sky was bright with the full harvest moon. Just a few black clouds hung low in the sky. Tre felt a cold chill run down his spine.
'This place is fucking creepy. It looks like something out of a horror movie,' thought Tre.
Finally Jessica came out and got back in the car. The sky suddenly got darker. Tre became uneasier. Jessica tried to start the car, but it would just sputter and stop. She finally turned around and looked at Tre.
"Tre..."
"What?"
"Tre..."
"What? I already acknowledged you!"
"Tre... wake up. I need to leave."
