Rebel Yell

Chapter 53: The Wrath of Billy Darley

Yawning as he pulled up to the 'office' aka the abandoned mental hospital that him and his boys cook their shit in the basement of. Billy reluctantly turned off his car and reached over into the backseat, grabbing the familiar green backpack before climbing out of the car and slamming the door shut. Billy had just dealt with his father, Bones, being a prick all morning and given the fact that Billy was working all night, the last thing he wanted to do was come here when he could be at home sleeping instead.

As Billy made his way downstairs inside of the abandoned mental hospital, Billy noticed that there wasn't any rock or metal music playing like their usually was whenever his boys were down here cooking. It was almost like nobody was here even though all of their cars were outside. As Billy made his way through the room where all the glass laboratory flasks and other supplies that they used to make drugs, on metal tables. To Billy's surprise, his boys were actually there afterall, just sitting around in silence. Not cooking drugs, not doing anything.

Tommy turned and looked at Billy with an emotionless expression across his face. Heco was sitting on a chair, staring down at his feet as he fiddled with a unlit cigarette in his hands. Jamie was sitting backwards on another chair, caressing his chin and slowly shaking his head. Dog was standing at one of the tables pretending to look like he was actually mixing up drugs like he was suppose to be doing. Baggy was on the other side of the room, leaning against a table and staring down at the ground with a sad look on his face. Bodie and Spink were no where in sight.

"What?" Billy asked everyone.

"What?" Billy asked again when nobody answered him.

An annoyed sneer formed across Billy's face as his eyes scanned around the room, looking at all of his boys as he held out his arms, "Somebody fucking tell me what the fuck is going on" Billy demanded.

Before anyone could say anything, Bodie walked out from one of the rooms nearby and stood a few feet away from Billy. Billy blinked as he turned his head and looked over at Bodie who's been Billy's best friend since they were kids. He'd be the one to tell Billy what was going on. However, a worried and saddened look was on Bodie's face as if he had just seen a ghost or something.

"You hear?" Bodie asked impatiently.

Billy didn't answer him, instead he just stared at Bodie waiting for him to tell him whatever it was that was going on that everyone looks so depressed.

Bodie sighed when Billy didn't answer his question, "Joe dude..."

"-Somebody stuck him... he's dead." Bodie finished.

Billy's face dropped and his eyes narrowed, "What?" He asked in a angry hushed whisper.

"You're lying." Billy stated boldly, the muscles in his jaw tightening as he spoke.

Bodie shook his head and swallowed the lump that had formed in his throat before speaking, "He's gone..."

For a moment, Billy's eyes widened almost like he was about to cry or like they were about to bulge out of his skull from how angry he had just become. Instead of saying anything else, Billy just turned around and stormed towards the door, ripping the backpack off of his shoulder and throwing it against a steel shelf that held flasks as he continued to storm out of the building.

"Have you even slept?... you look rough." Bria whispered to me as a lady led Bria and I into a huge glass room in the middle of this office. The room had a big round, 12 seat table in it.

"No..." I scolded her. "It's been a hard couple of days.."

"Your mother and Mr. Grimes will be here shortly." The secretary announced before leaving the room.
