One Shot - Mikey Walsh

4|An IT a giant IT

"𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒃𝒆𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒅."

"Alright, alright, alright. Diez veces Diez." Mouth reads from the map. "What does that mean?" Mikey questions. "Ten times Ten." Tara states looking at the map. "Uh, hundred." Mikey works out. "Hundred!" Data also says. "Stretching feet to nearest northern point." Mouth translate again. "North. What's North? Which way is north?" Mikey questions frantic. "That's where you'll find the treat." Tara translates the last bit of the sentence. "The treat... The rich stuff. The treat! The rich stuff. That's it!" Mikey cheers, Data pulls out his compass and points towards the restaurant. "North is that way!" "So it's near the restaurant!" Mikey exclaims, everyone starts walking towards the restaurant, counting their steps, at 60 paces they stop and hide behind some rocks out of sight from anyone that could possibly see them. "Guys look." Tara states pointing at the restaurant slightly.  

Two guys in trench coats were walking up towards the restaurant door. Mikey wasn't paying attention and still calculating the steps. "Sixty and another forty is an even one hundred, right to the old restaurant. The rich stuff has gotta be there." Mikey exclaims, Chunk was nervous and shaking his head. "I don't know about it Mikey. Hey it's gettin' late, and hey, that's a summer place; what's it doin' open in the fall?" Data gestures to the door where the two men in trench coats just entered. "See, there's nothing to be scared of. See there's already two customers who went inside the restaurant." "Yeah, yeah but what if they're not customers. What if they're drug dealers?" Chunk questions. Data hits Chunk upside the head. "Drug dealers? Shit man. Did you see their clothes? Drug dealers wouldn't be caught dead in those polyester rags." Data states shaking his head at Chunk. The group starts taking their final forty paces towards the restaurant. Tara starts thinking that maybe Chunk was right. 

Bang Bang. Two gunshots were heard inside the restaurant making the group jump up. Chunk runs over out of breath. "Mikey, Mikey, Mikey. That sounded like gunshots. Not the big ones you hear in war movies, but gunshots, real ones. They're trying to kill us!" Chunk shouts. "Chunk calm down." Tara tells him softly. "Gees Chunk. Turn off your brain alright? Someone probably dropped a pot." Mikey states confidently, whilst everyone agrees. Chunk starts rambling again but no one listens and starts running towards the restaurant. Chunk spots a cooler outside the restaurant. "Soda pop! Oh boy am I thirsty." He opens it to find absolutely nothing, he slams the lid down disappointed. "Damn it!" Tara is walking around and finds a door. She opens it and finds a car. "Chunk." She says kind of scared, he walks over to her and notices what she's looking at. "ORV... bullet holes... bullet holes." He realises and starts breathing heavily. "i'm sorry I didn't believe you!" Tara exclaims as they rush to their friends. 

Data tells the two to be quiet. "This place is a summer restaurant? Looks like it hasn't been open for ten summers." Mouth states looking at the rundown place. "How long have you kids been at that window?" Mama Fratelli questions making the goonies jump and face her. "L-long enough to see you need about 400 roach motels in this place." Mouth counters earning a slap from Tara. Another noise catches everyone's attention. "How am I supposed to create with that smithsonian piece of shi-" The man stops and walks over to the group and says something to his mom in Spanish. The two have an exchange that no one understood until The woman speaks up again. "What do you want?" She shouts, everyone asks for water. Mouth goes off into a tangent about some sort of alcoholic beverage until the lady grabs his face and threatens to cut his tongue out. The group sit down at a table and Tara starts to talk. "Guys, garage ORV, four wheel drive and-" She's cut off by Chunk. "Bullet holes the size of Matzah balls!" He exclaims. 

"Tara you too?" Mikey asks disappointed. "I'm being serious Mikey!" She says upset that he wouldn't believe her. "Chunk i'm beginning to O.D on all your bullshit stories. And getting Tara involved too seriously?" Mikey states. Tara sits re-thinking what just happened. How could Mikey not believe her? Sure Chunk told alot of stories but this time he was actually telling the truth and when she tried to back him up no one believed them. "Miss, where's the men's room please?" Mikey asks suddenly squirming in his seat. "Can't you hold it?" The woman asks irritated. "No!" Mikey counters. "Mikey, Mikey this isn't the kind of place you want to go to the bathroom in." Chunk tries to reason with his friend, whilst looking at Tara for help who just leans back in her seat and crosses her arms a sour look on her face. "Why not?" The woman asks. "Because, they might have daddy long legs in them..." Chunk trails off. "Ssh but I gotts go to the bathroom." Mikey carries on exaggerating. "Or dead things Mikey! Dead." Chunk tries to persuade Mikey not too whilst Mouth was pouring the weird coloured water between two glasses. 

"Lady please." Mikey begs. "Downstairs." The lady tell Mikey to stay on the right. Brand storms into the restaurant and grabs Tara by her arm. "Let me go Brand!" She exclaims trying to shake the older boy off. "No way you're coming back with me." Brand says heading towards the stairs. As Mikey reaches the top Brand grabs him and puts him over his shoulder. The group leave the restaurant and end up back at the rocks. "I swear on my life they've got an IT, a giant IT!" Mikey explains looking at his friends. "Yeah totally." Tara scoffs crossing her arms, hurt flashes in Mikey's eyes as he looks at her. "Hey look at that!" Chunk states pointing over to the restaurant. Everyone watches as the Fratellis carry stuff our of the restaurant. The guys start arguing whilst Tara watches the car, figuring out exactly what happened to the two guys who went in before them. "Guys duck down." Mikey says as he pulls Tara down with him, she snatches her arm out of his grip still upset at him for not believing her. The group suddenly gets jump scared by Andy and Stef. Tara smiles upon seeing her older friends, she teps forward and hugs Andy. "Hey T." Andy smiles, she then hugs Stef. 

"You almost gave me a heart attack." Chunk says glaring at the girls slightly. "We followed you guys." Andy tells Brand. "You did?" Brand asks. "We were out driving with Troy, ooh sorry about your face." Andy tells him remembering what Troy did. "Oh don't worry about it, I was born with it." Brand shrugs it off. Tara noticed the rest of the group had gone over to the restaurant again. She sprints to catch up with them. "It's locked." Mouth says as he tries to open the door. Tara stands next to him her arms crossed. "Thank God!" Chunk shouts. "Hey wait a minute Chunk." Mouth gets an idea. "What?" Chunk questions weary. "You know I got some naked pictures of your mom, takin' a bath. Wanna Buy em?" Mouth smirks as Chunk's face changes. "What?" He questions angrily. "Real cheap!" Mouth provokes him, Chunk gets angry and tries to charge at Mouth, who neatly stepped out the way and Tara who was daydreaming was grabbed by Mikey before Chunk hit her. "T-thanks." Tara says her heart beating fast. "It's ok." Mikey smiles down at her.
