Where did Tre go!?, chapter 14
Mike's home phone rang. But Mike wasn't at his house, no one was. On the answering machine a man started to speak in a nice, elegant way. "Hello there Mikey. Sorry to call and 10 AM. I tried to call Billie Joe, but something must have happened to his phone. Well, I'll say this quick and simple. I have Tré. You call me and we'll negotiate about this ordeal. I want something, and you want something. I'm sure we can work something out. Anyways, your buddy Tré, he's doing fine, a few.... cuts and bruises." and then he hung up.
Mike and Billie were sitting in a coffee shop. "Billie. I'm really sorry. I know Tré was your best friend, he was mine too. I don't know if we'll ever find him. And I'm just... sorry." Mike said. He was being as honest as he could with Billie. He was afraid that Billie would start crying any moment.
Billie looked at him. "Don't ever say that!" he yelled and slapped Mike across the face. People stared at the two. Billie broke down and put his forehead on the table. He was crying.
Mike was astonished, but not mad. He got up and stood behind Billie and put his hand on his shoulder. "Come on, let's go look for the kid." Mike said. He had a smile on his face. He was almost laughing.
Billie looked up at him. "Why are you laughing?" he asked. "Are you laughing at me?" Billie added. "I bet you've fucking cried before too!" Billie yelled.
"No. I'm not laughing at you. I'm laughing at how this happened. It started with Tré just running from a biker guy on your wedding. And now this. All we've been through. It's just... funny." Mike said.
Bille smiled. It was funny. "After meeting that Nosnam lady, and her being so mad that Tré and had gotten out. I thought that was gonna be the best day of my life." Billie said. He stood up. "Okay, let's go find Tré." he said. The two of them headed out to Mike's car to go down to the bay.
-- COUPLE OF HOURS LATER --
Mike and Billie were heading back to Billie's house. Mike had dropped him off and was about to go when Billie said "If you hear anything from Tré, or about him, tell me as soon as possible. Please Mike." Billie then dissapeared inside his house. The door slamming behind him.
Mike nodded and then headed for home. He hadn't been home all day and as bound to have some message seeing as though Billie broke his phone from throwing it. "I just hope we hear something soon. I really miss the goofball." Mike said as he parked his car in his drive way. He was too tried to hear his answering machine beeping and went to bed.
-- THE NEXT DAY --
Mike woke up early. He yawned and got a bunch of cereal. That's when he heard his answering machine beeping. "Oh god. That was probably from yesterday." Mike said and listened to the message. He grabed his keys and drove off to Billie's house.
Mike walked through Billie's house, looking for none other than Billie. "Bill!" he yelled. No answer. "Adie!" no answer. "Where are they?" Mike asked looking into the bathroom. "Damn." he said when he saw the two were sleeping. "Must have had a great night." Mike said smiling. "Billie!" he yelled next to Billie's ear.
Billie shot up. "What!?" he said jumping. When he saw it was Mike he frowned. "What do you want? I was sleeping." Billie asked laying back down on his pillow.
"Umm Bill. You might wanna see this." Mike said pulling him out of bed. "I came to tell you about a message I got about Tré, and then I saw this." he said and took him out to his front yard.
Billie's eyes got wide as he saw what there was.
