Wicked Ice

Chapter 2

By Shadowgate

…

Butters fled from the hostile scene at Cartman's house. He caught up with the rest of his classmates at Starks Pond. He just wanted to get away from Stan and Kyle. Ever since he was notified of Ike's drowning he had these feelings that things were out of place.

He noticed that Stan and Kyle hadn't just grown up taller at an unexpected rate. Their faces and appearances had changed.

He looked over and saw Kenny with his two siblings. He went up to Kenny and asked to have a word with him alone. Kenny replied "sure Butters."

Butters said "Kenny I know you remember when I had to go to Hawaii because I was not well emotionally."

Kenny replied "of course that was truly one of the most remarkable moments in our lives."

Butters said "right and you came to help me because you knew something was wrong."

Butters exhaled and went on to say "Kenny you're a good person. I know that if you believed there was something wrong in this town you'd say so."

Kenny said "well sure, what's the problem Butters?"

Butters responded with a question "don't you think Ike's death is really suspicious?"

Kenny said "Butters between the two of us I think it was suicide."

Butters exclaimed "SUICIDE!"

Kenny said "shh."

Kenny went on to say "first of all accidental drownings in bathtubs are just fucking unheard of. Second of all Ike was adopted by a Jewish family and in Judaism suicide is considered worse than murder."

Butters nodded and said "suicide is even worse than being executed for murder according to some."

Kenny said "right and I believe it was a suicide but you don't repeat this Butters."

Butters nodded and said "of course I won't repeat it. I'm the one who came to you in the first place about it being suspicious."

Kenny nodded back.

Butters went to see the other kids at Starks Pond who were having their lunches.

Butters said "hey fellows um how's it going?"

Token said "oh great Butters we're all enjoying the beautiful ice."

Craig said "Butters are you okay you've been acting very strange all day?"

Butters said "well Craig I was wondering if we could talk privately?"

Kyle yelled "BUTTERS I'M GLAD I CAUGHT UP WITH YOU!"

Butters said "oh hey Kyle I was coming to see you because I heard you were at Eric's house but then I saw you were busy with Eric so I decided to wait to talk to you."

Kyle smiled and said "well that's okay Butters. Let's go talk."

Butters said "I'm very sorry I couldn't attend the funeral but I had a fever of 103."

Kyle puts his hand on Butter's shoulder and says "I understand completely."

Then Kyle gives Butters an evil smile.
