Bloodless

Grasping at Straws

"Tomorrow." You stated plainly, looking at your freshly done nails.

"What?" Billy and Stu tore their eyes away from the movie.

"I want you to place some suspicion on yourself with Sidney tomorrow." Your eyes didn't move from the screen.

"If she thinks it was you, then you have reason to break it off," you looked at him, "right?"

He chuckled, "You, sweetheart, might be a genius." He kissed the top of your head and let you snuggle against him, Stu watching from the side.

You laid your feet in his lap, him coughing as he readjusted his position.

-.-

Sidney woke up, picking up the phone that startled her awake, "hello?"

"Practice ran late, I'm on my way, okay?" Tatum's voice ran through the phone.

"It's past seven." Sidney stated.

"Don't worry," Tatum reassured her, "Casey and Steve didn't bite it till way after ten."

Sidney scoffed, "Oh, that's comforting."

"I'm gonna swing by the video store, I'm thinking Tom Cruise in All the Right Moves." Tatum continued speaking to Sidney, "You know if you pause it just right, you can see his penis."

Sidney shook her head, "Whatever, just hurry up, okay?"

"Ta-ta, Sid." Sidney hung up the phone, laying back down before the phone rang again, and she picked it up.

"Tatum just get in the car -" a voice cut her off, "Hello Sidney."

She sat up slowly, "Uh, hi, who is this?"

"Well, you tell me." The voice was calm and deep, she couldn't recognize it.

"Well, I- I have no idea." She pushed her hair out of her face.

"Scary night, isn't it? With the murders and all, it's like right out of a horror movie or something." The voice skipped to the best topic, glossing over the fact she was talking to a stranger.

She laughed, "Randy, you gave yourself away. Are you calling from work, because Tatum's on her way."

"Do you like Scary movies Sidney?" The voice kept getting her to speak to him.

"I like that thing you're doing with your voice, Randy. It's sexy." She stood up and paced.

"What's your favorite scary movie?" The voice asked again.

"Oh, come on, you know I don't watch that shit." Sidney deadpanned.

"Why not? Too scared?" The voice prodded.

"No," she walked a bit more, "no, I mean what's the point, they're all the same."

"Some stupid killer stalking some big breastfed girl who can't act, who's always running up the stairs when she should be going out the front door. It's insulting."

"Are you alone in the house?" The voice asked another question.

"Randy, that's so unoriginal, I'm disappointed in you." Sidney kept pacing.

"Maybe that's because I'm not Randy." The voice on the otherside of the line made her stop pacing.

"So, where are you?" She questioned, honestly unamused.

"The question isn't 'who am I?' The question is 'where am I?'" The voice corrected her.

"So where are you?" She asked.

"Your front porch." He answered.

"Why would you be calling me from my front porch?" Sidney questioned the voice, walking towards the door.

"That's the original part." He laughed.

"But, yeah... well, I call you bluff." She unlocked the door and walked outside.

"So, where are you?" She asked, looking around for him.

You parked farther down the street so that Stu would be able to get in easier.

You heard screams and watched Billy walk down the street, to her house, picking up the pace when she screamed.

Billy climbed a tree to get through the window as Stu ran out through the front door, getting to the car, "all set."

You drove back to your home, seeing the lights of an officer pull into the street. You cursed, as Stu shoved the costume into the backpack.

You climbed in his lap, grabbing a fistful of his hair, "hey-" he stopped complaining as soon as you kissed him. He moaned into the kiss as the car slowed, then continued driving to Sidney's house.

"We gotta go, Billy's gonna call us to bail him out." Stu groaned as you slipped back into the driver's seat.

-.-

You ran through the automated doors of the police department, Stu sitting in the car with the burner Billy gave you, "Hi, hi. I'm here for Billy Loomis."

You were out of breath, as the secretary called over one of the officers, "She's here for Loomis."

The office motioned for you to follow, which you did, "Sidney! What happened? Are you okay?"

You looked at the small marks along her face and bruises on her arms, "did he get you bad?"

She shook her head, "No, I'm okay." You hugged her as she stood there, "why are you here?"

You let go, "Billy called me, he knew Stu and I were at a movie night at his and called. Something about bail?"

"Y/n, he called you?" She looked at you as you spoke, "yeah, well, technically Stu, but I picked up."

She looked around, "Well, where's Stu?"

"There was no parking, so he's waiting at the front of the building." You stood waiting for Billy to come out.

"And you bailed him out?" She asked as you tapped your feet nervously.

"Yeah, apparently Dewey called his dad and he's put of town for a bit. I can't just leave him here, y'know?" You watched as the deputy walked out of the room with Billy.
