YOUR HOUSE

As I get out of my shower my house phone begins to ring I pat my feet dry on the bathroom rug and begin to run to the house phone I'll pick it up and put it in my ear "hello?" I spoke into the phone " oh yes hi good morning [YOUR NAME] Dusty left the house with Max and according to the news someone was killed I'm worried about him being out right now would you please go and keep an eye on Dusty ill pay you extra" Ms.Claudia Dustin's Mom spoke with anxiousness in her voice "no need to pay me extra Miss Claudia I'll go find him and I'll let you know where he is" I reassured her while quickly drying myself off "oh thank goodness [YOUR NAME] be careful out there" Ms. Claudia's mood shifted "Of Course" i hung the phone up by putting it back in the wall quickly running to my room to get dressed i threw on light denim shorts with a striped colorful shirt with my red and white air jordans I quickly grab my Taser put it in my pocket and take my purse as I'm walking out the house I snatched my car keys off the wall I locked the door and get into my Tan colored Jeep C7 i buckle up and pull off "where would Dustin be" I think to myself "Steve he's definitely with Steve" i pick up the speed on my car making my ways to the family movie store where steve works thats the only place i think he would be right now I park the jeep on the left side of the parking lot I hop out and walk into the store they don't seem to be here unless I'm earlier I decided to look around until they come in don't then I'll have to look somewhere else i walk around the store i headed to the horror section " nightmare on Elm Street" I said the title of the movie as I walked past it " The shining" i continued walking until i made a stop "Holy shit Sleepaway Camp" i said with excitement "i'm guessing do you like horror movies don't you" a male leaned his back against the hard movie shelf. It was Steve he should know i love horror movies already "yeah i love em I just never got a chance to see Sleepaway Camp" i smiled lightly reading the back cover of movie cover "well how about me and you watch the movie at my place"  he folded his arms with a grin "that's cute Steve" i lift my head up so he could fully see my face his mouth dropped slightly "i still want to see that movie" i grabbed his chin to close his mouth he nodded and took sleepaway camp out of my hands "have you guys seen Max or Dust-" my sentence was cut off by both Max and Dustin walking into the movie store "Hey steve" dustin walked up to the phone "your mom sent me to keep an eye on you" i leaned on the counter "shit" he shook his head "How many phones do you have?" The Tv played the News as he asked the question "do you guys know who was murdered?" I grabbed box of candy from the stand and gave robin 5 dollars "How many phones do you have" Dustin raised his voice and demanded an answer "Two why?" Steve questioned "well technically Three if you count Kieths Why?" Robin corrected him "yeah three works" max nodded dustin threw his bag across the counter and pulled himself across the counter "what are you-" dustin kicked my candy out of my hands "dustin why" i rubbed my temples "MY PILE" "MY TAPES"  "dude what are you doin man" dustin typed on the computer while steve and robin went into full panic "setting up base of opreations here" Dustin clicked and clacked on the computer "base of operations?" Robin repeated "what are you up to dusty bun?" I went behind the counter standing behind max "get off of that" steve scoffed "no i need it" dustin continued typing "for what?" Steve was annoyed "eddies friends phone numbers" dustin payed attention to the computer "eddie as in... munson?" I said remembering how the long black haired boy would mock the jocks at the best timing and occasionally he would save you from that one basketball player who would come to your locker eveyday trying to take you on a date Eddie would scare the smelly jock away with a simple joke or he would just walk you to class or the locker room really a lot of the times you were in distress he would swoop in and get you out of it "Your new best friend you think is cooler because he plays your nerdy game?" Steve said holding on to the back of dustins chair "Ed, Yes and i never said that" dustin paused and continued searching "Seriously, you guys, maybe on a Monday you can play around, but it's Saturday Our busiest day." Robin picked up the tapes off of the ground and stacking them back up i help out picking up the snacks Henderson dropped on his way over the counter "Robin i empathize but this cannot wait until monday" dustin put one hand up while typing with the other "oh my godddd" steve complained while rubbing his face "what cause calling all of eddies friends is an emergency?" Robin sassed fixing her counter "correct!" Dustin continued typing quickly "dustin what are you really doing this for we have to get out of steve and robins way soon" i crossed my arms "can you just fill them in while i do this?" He turned to Max "Fill us in ok what?" Robin turned around from the counter Max sighed and began telling us about what happened and their plan the next thing you know we were all calling numbers associated with Eddie Munson i grabbed my brick like Motorola phone from my Jeep and called numbers from the computer screen "Hello? HELLO?" I sighed hanging my phone up "the line dropped" i leaned of the counter "hey guys i think i have a lead" Max said as she hung the phone up "seriously?" Dustin turned around in his chair and i picked my head up from the counter "apparently eddie gets drugs from some guy named Reefer Rick, and sometimes Eddie crashes there." Max tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear "Sounds promising, where does Reefer Rick live?" Robin crossed her arms "see,thats the thing. No one knows hes more of a... legend than someone that people actually know" i put my head back on the counter "what about a last name?" Dustin asked "i dont have that either" max sighed "bet the cops know the last name" steve chimed in "Youre talking nonsense if eddie is wanted for a murder he didnt commit how are we supposed to get a last name out of the cops?" I turned around from laying my head on the counter "i mean listen if this reefer rick is  actually a drug dealer i guarantee you hes been busted at some point means hes in the system" steve walked over the the counter as he explained his point "the cops? Really steve thats your best suggestion?" Dustin criticized steve stupid idea "you think eddies guilty dont you" dustin slowly walked over to the counter "I believe in innocent until proven guilty all that constitutional shit... i just you know dont think we can rule it out" steve rubbed his hands together "well that's exactly what were trying to do steve" i put my hands on my hips
