Dear Stan Marsh

Gary's Interview

What happened with Gary? I saw you mentioned a recording. Can we hear/read it?

ASKED BY ANONYMOUS

--

Gary is innocent. I'm not proud of how I handled this but, here.

"Start talking," Kyle said firmly. Gary was sat on a chair that Wendy and Kyle had pulled into the janitor's closet of the community center. Wendy had a flash light on him. It was the best interrogation they could do.

"What are you talking about?" Gary asked, trying to shield his eyes from the light. "We know you wrote the letter to Stan." Wendy said putting a hand on her hip. "Why?"

"Stan? I haven't talked to Stan in years!" Gary said. Kyle slapped him, unable to hold back his anger.

"Tell the god damn truth! Why are you stalking him, you sleazy son of a bitch!?" Kyle shouted in his face.

"I swear I didn't do anything! I'd never stalk Stan!" Gary pleaded. Wendy reached into her pocket and took out the crumpled up note. She shoved it in his face. "Then what's this? I analyze the handwriting against everyone we know and it was a match with your writing!"

"I..I didn't write this!"

"Bullshit." Kyle grabbed a pencil and took out another crumpled piece of paper from his coat pocket. "Write."

"What-?"

"I said write damn it! Rewrite the note!" Kyle screamed in pure rage.

Gary fearfully copied the note onto the piece of paper. When he finished, Kyle snatched it from him in anger, ready to jump on him. His eyes scanned between the notes and he froze up.

"What?" Wendy asked.

"They're..not the same."

Wendy took the papers and looked over them in disbelief. "What? But, but the handwriting matched-"

"It was close, Wendy. Someone copied his handwriting." Kyle said.

"See!? I swear I would never hurt Stan! Never! Let me go, guys, I won't say a word. I understand you're scared and maybe I could help-"

"Shut the fuck up!" Kyle punched him in the face. Wendy pushed him back shouting his name in surprise and concern.

"Kyle, stop it! He's innocent!"

Wendy continued to beg, but Kyle thrashed against her managing to her a few more blows into Gary in pure rage before she used her strength to open the door and push him out onto the floor.

The tape ends there.
