I can't get caught.

They would never think it was me if they find his body. If anything they'll probably think it was Henry who killed and buried him. It couldn't possibly be me, I was no where near the scene, I was at home sleeping in my bed.

The more times you go over it the more you start to believe it yourself.

It will become the truth, right?

Right. If the police decide to do a little session of interrogation questions you know what to say, right?

I didn't know Patrick was murdered and buried. I was at home sleeping.

Good. Now just keep going over it.

I didn't do it. I didn't do it because... I was at home sleeping. Therefore, it couldn't have been me.

"Hello?! Earth to Cole!"

I snapped out of my daze and looked over at Richie who waved his arms in front of me like a maniac.

"Yes?" I asked quietly.

"What's wrong with you? You keep zoning out... it's fucking creepy."

"I'm fine; w-what are we talking about?" I asked as I looked over at Bill.

"W-what if we go b-back to the ba-barrens?" Bill asked.

"No fucking way." Eddie answered quickly.

"Eddie's right, w-we should... we should take a break from the barrens." I said.

"I-it's not li-like I want to go back t-there but... P-Patrick." Bill said in a form of a whisper.

"Someone will find Patrick, Bill." I said quietly, "w-we can't go back there, okay?" I asked frustrated.

"Maybe Bill's right, we should go back-"

"No. We're not going back, leave things like they are." I said harshly as I interrupted Beverly, "going back will only start off new problems, let's stay away."

"What if we hint at the police about Patrick, he can't stay like that. We should... drag his body-"

"Have you gone fucking crazy you ginger?! If we move the fucking body then we're practically screaming, 'Hey we did it! Arrest us please!'" Richie shouted.

"Patrick needs to be found." Beverly said as she stood up and Ben followed her.

I quickly stood up and stood in front of them, "Beverly, let's think for a second." I said as I put my hands in front of her, "Ben, you're smarter than this. You know what could happen." I said as I looked at both of them with wide eyes.

"Wasn't that your plan at the beginning? To bury his body?" Beverly asked.

I licked my lips as she stood in front of me, "I-I... I don't think it's right. You guys were right... it will all point back to us." I said, "let's stay away from the barrens for a while."
