Slicer the evil clown

Chapter 2

The next day Jack got up bright and early.He figured since its the last day of the weekend I might as well enjoy it.He slipped on some Levis and a blue shirt with Wolverine on it that said in big bold letters ITS CLOBBERING TIME!Jack peered down at his watch and realized how early it was.It was only 7:29.He told his friend Bill Jefferson to be outside at 7:40 so he had some time left on his hands.He creaked his bedroom door open as quietly as possible and tiptoed one step at a time making no noise so he didn't wake his snoozing parents.As Jack went down his white carpeted stairs he looked at a picture just above the polished wooden railing.

It was his school picture from last year when he was in sixth grade. Now Jack is 13 years old and in 7th grade.He stood 4foot7 and weighed 89 pounds.The reason he was staring at his picture was because he swore he saw Slicer the evil clown in the background, holding a machete with a bloody blade and a handle bar as black as pitch up to his friend Bill's head. Then in a blink of an eye the clown was gone and so was Bill.Jack thought to himself "I must be going insane." He was hoping that Slicer wasn't still after him.He was creeping quiet as a mouse down the last few steps until he reached the bottom.He slipped on his red and white Nikes and walked peacefully toward the mail box to pick up the mail.He was hoping that his new Lego Club Magazine had arrived but it wasn't there.He did however spot a small tan colored paper all the way in the back of the black metal mail box that said in sloppy handwriting "To Jack."

Jack picked up the note and it felt like sandpaper. Jack said "I've never seen any paper like it". Jack's name was written sloppily in red crayola crayons.As he unfolded it, the weird notepaper scratched together making a noise like nails on a chalkboard.The noise gave him goosebumps and also made him shiver.As he unfolded the entire note he gave a sigh of relief "Glad that's over" The rest of the note was written in blood. Jack dropped the note and jumped back with fear. Jack stuttered "Ohhh mmmy goossh!" He forced himself to jerk his head down and look at the note again.The note was smeared with red ooze but Jack still managed to read what it said. Jack started reading the note aloud "Dear Jack I've been watching lately and I may kill your dear old friend Bill.After all he's tied up with thick tan rope and if you don't save him in the next week or two I will kill you and kill him. Sincerely, Slicer.
Oh and ps if you wanna find us, I live next to Lake Anderson, so hope to see you there."

Jack said in a frustrated voice "Crap. Lake Anderson is 5 hours away from here in a car. I can't even imagine walking that far.And what would mom and dad think if I went away and never came back.They go nuts if I'm away for 2 hours".He started sprinting full speed to Bill's house but he wasn't there. He knocked as hard as he could on Bill's door.About a minute later his mom answered the door and said in a sleepy voice "What do you want?" She rubbed her eyes until they were bright red and then yawned.
"Is Bill home?"
"No, he has been gone for the past hour or two.Now go away I'm trying to get so...."
Before she finished Jack turned around and started heading the direction of lake Anderson.

Jack walked until he reached the dark erie alley where Slicer had attacked the innocent woman.He stopped to look at the alley and turned around.Jack wasn't sure if he would ever get the courage to save his friend.The scared boy wanted to save his friend, he really did, but he was full of fear.He trudged all the way home trying to think if he would save his friend or not.As he approached his little brown house with the white door and two windows on the front he made up his mind. He said aloud "I'm going to save my friend tomorrow. Right now I need some rest.Tomorrow when I get up I will buy a weapon from Gun Mart down the road and be on my way."

He opened his door quietly because his parents were still asleep and layed down on the couch.He turned on the tv and fell asleep watching Walker Texas Ranger.He woke up because he had a terrible dream about Slicer killing Bob and Bob screaming in agony.When he woke up it turned out that the screaming wasn't just in his dream.He heard someone outside yelling"HEEEELLLLLP HEEEEELPPPPP MEE PLEEESE!
