RANDY WAS RIDING ON THE CART THAT HELD MOVIES THROUGH THE VIDEO STORE TOWARDS DELILAH. She was stacking movies while a guy tried to flirt with her.
"So you like, work here and stuff?" The guy asked.
"Yep." Delilah said, not sparing him a glance.
"You wanna get outta here than?" The guy asked. Delilah rolled her eyes as Randy almost hit the guy with the cart.
"Watch it, jerk." He said.
"Oh im sorry." Randy muttered as he grabbed some movies.
Stu ran up up behind Randy and shouted as he knocked the movies out of his hands.
"Dork." Randy said.
"Jesus this place is packed tonight man." Stu said.
"Yeah we've got a run in the mass murder section." Randy smiled as Delilah bent down to pick up the movies Stu knocked out of Randy's hands.
"You comin to my fiesta?" Stu asked.
"Yeah I'm off early." Randy said. "Curfew you know?"
"Cool." Stu said.
"What's that werewolf movie with E.T's mom in it?" Some girl asked Randy.
"The howling, horror, straight ahead." Randy said.
"Okay thanks." The girl said.
Randy then turned and looked at Billy. "Oh now that's in poor taste."
"What?" Stu asked. Billy was flirting with some girls by the horror section.
"If you were the only suspect in this senseless blood bath would you be standing in the horror section?" Randy asked.
"Well it was just a misunderstanding." Stu said, sticking up for his buddy. "He didn't do anything."
"Your such a little lap dog." Randy said.
"Rand, chill out." Delilah said as she turned to where the boys were.
"He's got killer printed all over his forehead." Randy said.
"Now that i agree with." Delilah shrugged as she leaned against a shelf.
"Okay, really?" Stu said in one of his silly voices. "Then why'd the cops let him go smart guy?"
"Because obviously they don't watch enough movies." Delilah said. "This is standard horror movie stuff. Prom Night revisited."
"Yeah?" Stu asked. "Why would he want to kill his girlfriend?"
"There's always some stupid bullshit reason to kill your girlfriend." Randy said. "That's the beauty of it all. Simplicity. Besides if it gets to complicated you lose your target audience."
"Well, what's his reason?" Stu asked.
"Maybe Sidney wouldn't have sex with him." Randy said.
"Rand." Delilah sighed. "Don't bring that up."
Stu chuckled. "What is she savin herself for you?"
"Maybe." Randy said. "Now that Billy tried to mutilate her. Do you think Sid would go out with me?"
Delilah could've sworn she felt her heart break in that moment. The boy she had crushed on for years, liked her best friend.
Stu busted out laughing. "No I don't at all. No. You know who I think it is? I think it's her father. Why can't they find her pops man?"
"Because he's probably dead." Randy said. "His body will come poppin up in the last reel somewhere. Eyes gouged out, fingers cut off, teeth knocked out!"
"Man." Stu whispered to Randy trying to get him to shut up.
"The police are off track with this shit." Randy continued. "If they watch prom night they would save time. There's a formula to it! A very simple formula! Everybody's a suspect!"
Delilah covered Randy's moth with her hand as everyone looked at them.
"Would you shut up." Delilah whispered.
"I'm telling you the dads a red herring it's Billy." Randy said. Suddenly, Billy came out of nowhere and grabbed Randy by his shirt.
"How do we know your not the killer?" Billy asked. "Huh? Huh?"
Stu came behind him and held his shoulders.
"Hi Billy." Randy stuttered.
"Maybe your movie freaked mind lost it's reality button." Billy said. "You ever think of that?"
"You're absolutely right." Randy said. "I'm the first to admit it. If this were a scary movie I'd be the prime suspect. As would Lily."
"That's right." Stu said. "And what would be your motive?" Stu started to play with Randy's ears so he pulled away.
"It's the millennium." Randy said. "Motives are incidental."
"Millennium." Billy nodded. "Millennium i like that." Billy grabbed Randy's nose. "That's good millennium. Good kid."
"Alright, leave em alone, Billy." Delilah said. Billy smirked at Delilah as she shrunk back. Billy looked her up and down before walking away. She shivered. "Now your telling me that's not a killer?"
