Dewey rolls out of bed to his cell phone ringing. He reaches over to check the alarm clock and is filled with panic when he sees the time.
"Gale! I forgot to set the alarm, I am so late" Dewey says flying out of bed.
"I'm sure it can't be that bad" Gale says as she turns to also face the clock and sees the time.
"Told you" Dewey jokes as he sees the panic in her eyes.
"It will be fine. We will just work together like old times. I'll help Gracie get ready and you get yourself ready" Gale says, slipping on her slippers and bathrobe.
"Sounds like a plan. Meet you downstairs in twenty minutes" Dewey says entering the bathroom.
Gale walks down the long hallway until she reaches a door with a letter G decorated in glitter and pom poms. Gale busts through the door and walks over to the bed. When she gets closer she starts to tiptoe and then pushes down on the bed to scare her daughter.
Her daughter screams awake, "What the hell Mom, I was sleeping!"
"Not anymore time for school, you have eighteen minutes or your walking yourself to school" Gale says
"But it's three miles from our house to the school" Grace whines.
"Then get a ride with Wes' mom. I heard she made her disgusting lemon squares, your favorite" Gale jokes
Gracie pretends to vomit and her mom laughs.
"Oh anything but Ms. Hicks lemon squares" Gracie says dramatically
"Hurry up Gracie, I'm getting calls from the station!" Dewey says from downstairs
Grace quickly gets ready and runs down the stairs tripping on the last stair but is quickly saved by Dewey.
"Careful there, don't want you getting hurt" He says, placing her back on her feet before they both walk out of the house.
The car alarm chirps as Dewey walks over to the car and Grace to her seat behind her dad. As she does, a car speeds down the road, almost hitting Gracie.
Dewey pulls Gracie back, pushing her against the car, "Twenty-five, stay alive!" he yells to the speeding car.
"Shit! Sorry Sheriff!" says the speeding girl.
"Freaking Kirby" Dewey says in disappointment as he and Grace enter the car.
🔪🔪🔪
"Quick detour," Dewey says, turning away from the school road.
"What about school?" Grace questions
"I'll write you a note and if that's not okay they can take it up with the police. Oh wait..." says Dewey joking around.
Gracie looks in the rearview mirror making eye contact with her dad, "I thought we talked about this, no more dad jokes"
"Come on Gracie, I got to. Is in my blood" Dewey laughs as he stops the car.
Outside the car a man on a ladder is lowering ghostface costumes and Ms.Hicks says, "The mayor wants these down before lunch"
"Only twenty-five more to go" says the worker
Dewey walks over to Deputy Hicks as Gracie stares out the back window.
"Morning Sheriff" says Hicks
"Morning Deputy" says Dewey
"Looks like the celebrating has begun" says Dewey looking at the costumes
"High school kids probably" says Hicks
