In Their Eyes

-10-

   Trish's car flies down the starlit highway. Headlights burning into the night. Behind them, another pair of headlights follow.

The lights come from the Police car of Officer Weston and Gideon. Alex looks back at them.

"They're still back there.", Trish says. "Ill bet having a good laugh too.", Darry says.

"You still dont think they believe us?", Trish asks. Darry doesnt answer. "How did he get up on the roof of the church?", Alex asks.

"How did he what?", Darry asks.

"It looks like he jumped up there to you?", Alex asks. "Onto the roof of a building?", Trish asks.

Alex feels kinda dumb asking. He stares out the window.

"What the hell was he doing with your cloths?", Trish asks. She smirks suddenly. Then laughs.

"Maybe he can leap tall buildings in a single bound. I mean, he would have to be superhuman, otherwise the smell would have killed him.", Trish says.

At the same time, Officer Gideon and Weston in their car escorting them. Officer Gideon is driving. Their radio sounds.

"This is central, 037 come back.", the voice says from the radio. "Go ahead.", Officer Weston says.
"Higgs and Corely just radio-ed back from the old church on East 9?", The radio says. "Go ahead.", Officer Weston says.

"Its on fire.", The radio says. Both Officers stare at one another. "Burning out of control, with Fire and Rescue on their way.", the radio says.

Back in the car ahead, Darry watches Trish. She keeps checking her rearview mirror.

"Dont tell me you actually like him.", Darry says. "Get real.", Trish says. "Oh god...", Darry says.
Darry looks to the cop car behind them. "Should'a known. Hes big, dumb, and stupid.", Darry says.
"Unlike the Brainiacs you take out. Brainiacs only if their brains came in two, lift and separated.", Trish says.

"You're probably gonna marry a cop. You have a thing for guys in uniform or something?", Darry asks.

"Well, they're not quite as easy as the bimbos you flash those Bambi eyes at. Watch 'em fall down with their legs apart.", Trish says.

Darry suddenly doesnt like what she said. Reminds him of the phone call. He remembers the questions the lady asked about his eyes.

His sister checks the rear view mirror once more.

"I did notice he was a little more interested in getting the story from you two than me.", Trish says.

Her looking in the mirror begins to make Darry paranoid.
"Would you stop looking back there? He's gonna think youre easy.", Darry says.

"He did have a nice ass.", Trish says. Darry scoffs. "Yeah. I know. He was talking out of it.", Darry says.

Darry cranks up the radio. Some angry rock music blares.

Back in the cop car, more things becomes unraveled.

"Plates are fake. Description of the truck those kids gave, corresponds to a model from 1947. We are talking antiques now.", A voice says over the radio.

"These kids said the truck chased them doing well over a hundred miles, go ahead.", Officer Weston says.
"You guys ever stop to think these kids might be trying to pull off some kind of major hood wink?", the voice says over the radio.

"Come again?", Weston says. "The preliminary came back on that dust you took off the car door handle? Its dead skin.", They say.

At that moment, something hit the roof of the cop car. Both Gideon and Weston stare up at the roof.
