"TOTO..." CLEO CALLED WHEN SHE STOPPED HER BIKE, TONY SIGHED AS HE SHOT her a look at the mention of the nickname.

"Isn't it time to stop with the nicknames?" he asked

"I like it" Tony's dad said as he patted his son's shoulder "it fits you" he added in a chuckle as he focused back on the car he was busy fixing 

"Well, dad you know Clay and his sister Cleo"

"How you doing, kids?" The man asked

"I'm well, thank you" Clay answered for both of them, Cleo looked in Tony's car, her gaze falling on the walkman.

"So, what's up?" Tony asked

"We were out for a ride" Clay answered before his sister could get a chance to talk, the girl shook her head.

"On the other side of town?"

Clay didn't answer the question, he shot a glance at his sister before looking back at Tony, Cleo lied on her bike when Clay took Tony's keys and stepped in the car, she let out a sigh.

"Okay flip the ignition !" Tony's dad signaled, Clay applied, the car didn't take long to let out a hum. "See? That's how it should sound..."

Cleo's attention derived from the conversation when she saw her brother take something from Tony's car, she shot him a glance when his eyes fell into hers.

"Okay shut her off" Tony's dad said as Clay stopped the car, he quickly got out of the car.

"I should probably get out of here" he said, Cleo took her bike, waiting for her brother to get on.

"Sure? You don't wanna stay for dinner?" Tony asked

"No thanks" Clay refused "my mom's making pork chops, if we're not home soon, she'll probably freak out and call the cops or something..." 

"They emailed all the parents again" Tony said

"I know"

"Did she leave a note?" Tony's dad asked "the girl who killed herself...?"

Cleo and Clay exchanged a glance, noticing their discomfort, Tony walked to his dad and muttered something to his dad.

"You listen to me" his dad said "if you do something like that to your mother i will kill you, you understand me? I will kill you dead" he said "clean the shit up" he added before walking away 

"No sense of irony in that comment" Tony said "none, he's a simple man"

"Yeah" Clay said before taking his bike

"Clay, i think you got something that belongs to me" Tony said, making the siblings turn around, Cleo glared at her brother.

"I do?" Clay asked

"His fucking keys" Cleo said, pointing to the keys in her brother's hand, the boy threw the keys to Tony before riding away, his sister following him.

"And now he became a thief" Cleo said

"Says the accomplice" Clay added

Clay played the tape, his sister sitting beside him, she took a deep breath before putting the headphone in her ear, her hands shaking at the thought of doing something that led to Hannah's suicide.
