The Freak| Jimmy Darling

Chapter Seven.

I helped Jimmy get into the caravan and onto the bed. I sat him up started cleaning his wounds. I wiped up all of the blood on his face and his neck.

"So. What are you gonna do about Dell?" I asked.

"I'm going to put the badge in Dell's caravan tonight. Then tomorrow morning, I'm gonna call the police and leave an anonymous tip that it's here," Jimmy said.

"Good idea. Who have you told about this?" I asked.

"No one so far. But I'm gonna tell Elsa. I picked up one of the posters Dell was hanging up and he put her name at the bottom with Meep. She's gonna freak the fuck out," Jimmy explained.

"Good idea. And if you need help, I'm here too," I said.

He smiled. "I know," he said. I smiled too.

"You ready for today's show?" He asked. I nodded.

"I just gotta put on my leotard and my makeup," I said.

I got out my makeup bag and got to work.

                                     The Show.

Jimmy and I walked onto the stage and did our normal routine. We got our normal applause, and then exited. We walked to the back for Bette and Dot's performance.

"Here we go," I said hopefully. They were introduced by Dell and the audience gasped at their deformity. They stepped up to the microphone and adjusted it so that Dot's mouth was behind it.

When Dot started singing, the crowd started talking quietly among themselves. But everyone knew that she was killing it. Bette, on the other hand, was singing backup for her sister and couldn't really be heard. The men of the crowd started going wild and we all cheered. Dot was smiling and laughing. Bette was miserable and looked like she was about to cry. I felt so bad.

"Shit. I gotta go do the deed," Jimmy whispered, giving me a wink.

"You need me for backup?" I asked.

"Nah I'll be fine. Stay away from him," Jimmy said.

"With pleasure," I responded, watching him leave.

I enjoyed the rest of the performance and swayed to the beat. As the song came to an end, the applause sounded like thunder. I cheered until I saw Elsa's face. She was pissed off and jealous. Then Jimmy came back in and applauded for them as well.

"It's done. I'll make the call tomorrow morning," he explained.

"Look at you, talking all fancy," I said.

"I think the adrenaline is getting to my head," he said with a chuckle. I laughed and continued to watch the show.

                                 Dinner Time.

Jimmy and I walked to the tent for dinner and sat down with the normal people. Suzi noticed that Jimmy and I were on edge.

"What's the matter with you guys?" She asked. Paul and Eve immediately turned their attention towards us.

Jimmy looked around and then leaned in. "I got rid of the badge," He whispered.

"Good. What'd you do? Burn it? Toss it in the lake?" Eve questioned.

"Planted it in Dell's caravan. I'm gonna make a call to the police with an anonymous tip tomorrow," Jimmy answered shortly.

"You placed it in his caravan?! Jimmy what if he found it?" Paul asked.

"He didn't. I hid it well," Jimmy said.

"Whatever you say. Make sure you check your own caravan before calling," Suzi said.
