Blue Crush Is Our Name...And Don't You Fucking Wear It Out, chapter 12
Flashback:
"I'm gonna kill the bastard that did this to her." said Ian.
"I'll help you Ian. I'll do anything to get justice for her." I replied.
End of flashback.
Mike's POV:
"Excuse me, I have to go somewhere. I'll be right back." i said.
"Oh, you're considerate Mike. Shelby's just passed away and you're leaving?" Ian said.
"Sorry but I really have to go."
After saying that, I walked out the door.
I drove back to the movie theater to find CSI forensics trucks all over the place. I walked inside and saw a few of them talking in the lobby.
"Damn shame. That girl was so young."
"Nobody should have that happen to them."
After hearing that, I approached them and introduced myself.
"Hi, I'm Mike Dirnt. Shelby was one of my extremly close friends. I was the one that found her, and she told me something on the way to the hospital that might be able to help with the investigation." I said.
"I'm sorry for your loss. I'm Catherine Willows and that's Nick Stokes. We're with the crime lab. If you don't mind, we'd like to ask you a few questions."
"Sure, anything to help."
I was escorted to a small room in the theater. I sat down and the one guy, Nick something, started to ask questions.
"So what exactly happened?"
"Well, we came to see Fun With Dick And Jane. About half way through the movie, Shelby told me that she had to go to the bathroom. I said ok, gave her a peck on the cheek, and then she left."
"What did you do after you assumed that something was wrong because she didn't return?"
"Well, I got up and went to find the washrooms. I opened the girl's washroom door and I saw her lying on the ground, face down, in a pool of blood."
"What did you do when you saw her there?"
"I took her pulse. It was weak. So I called 911 immediately and did CPR until the paramedics arrived."
"Did she say anything about who did it on the way to the hospital?"
"Yes. I whispered 'who did this to you?' in her ear. She responded 'Jimmy'.
"Who is Jimmy?"
"Her violent ex-boyfriend. She broke up with him to pursue a music career."
"I read her medical records. It says she recently fell off a balcony at a hotel?"
"That's correct. We believe that Jimmy did that too, because the railing was chest high. So it would be pretty well impossible to fall off that without being pushed."
"Ok, that sounds believable. But where were all of you when that occured?"
"Well, myself, Billie Joe and Tré were still at the bar, and the rest of them returned with Shelby to the hotel. The rest of them being her bandmates, Ian, Kelsey and Jaymie. If you want to know more about what they were doing, I'm sure they would be happy to answer a few questions. Anything we can do to help."
"Ok, thanks for your time Mr. Dirnt. You're free to go."
"Thanks, and please try and bring some justice to the table."
"We'll do our best."
After that disturbing, yet necessary conversation, I returned to the hospital to see what was going on there.
On my way to the waiting room, I was mauled by fans. At the worst fucking time too dammit!
I finally arrived there, to find them still sitting there. No one spoke, everyone just sat there.
"OK! Stop giving me the guilt trip! Do you even know where I went?" I shouted.
"No, and I don't really want to know. You left at one of the worst times." Ian said.
"Even though no one cares, I'll tell you anyways. I went back to the movie theater to speak with the CSI's because Shelby told me something very important on the way to the hospital that they needed to know. Now everyone! Get off my case!" I said crying.
"Shit Mike, if you had told us that before, we wouldn't have grilled you!" said Ian.
"I would've, but I didn't want anyone to know what I was doing until after I did it."
"What did she say?" everyone asked.
"She told me who stabbed her."
"Who was it?"
"Jimmy."
"I'm gonna kill the bastard that did this to her." said Ian.
"I'll help you Ian. I'll do anything to get justice for her." I replied.
