CANCELLED- CHAPTER 4

Hank and bobby walked into their home silently. Hank wasn't really sure how to feel. Something was going.

"Hank! Is that you?" A voice called from the kitchen.

"Peggy?" Hank called out.

"Yes dear?" Peggy asked.

Hank walked into the kitchen. Peggy was there, preparing lunch.

"Peggy, there's something weird going on, I don't think we're safe, these men tried to take Bobby" Hank said. He suddenly felt very sick. He ran to the washroom and threw up. When he came back, Peggy had the newspaper opened to a specific page.

"Multiple Child Molesters Arrested in Arlen and Surrounding Areas"

Hank read the page. It said that men in sunglasses were trying to kidnap children, and that adults had nothing to fear other than their child's safety. Hank frowned at the page. Peggy put a sandwich in front of him.

"Eat , Hank" she said.

Hank pushed the plate away.

"I don't think I can right now, Peg" He said.

"Well, I could give it to Bobby" She said.

"I dunno Peggy, Bobby seems really worried, I don't know if now's the right time" Hank said.

"Alright" Peggy said.

Hank found it a little strange that Peggy wouldn't pursue the matter. but there was something about the news article that really confused him. It was written very awkwardly. Just then, the doorbell rang. Hank got up to get it.

He opened the door.

Boomhauer was standing there, he was very nervous.

"Hank, man ,Yeah man I tell ya what, Its bill man, He done break his arm, man... bill's almost dead." He said.

"What?" Hank asked.

"Hank, man, talk about big mistake y'all, bill went up on the roof and fell"

"Bill! no! Where is he?" Hank asked with concern.

"Hospital, man" Boomhauer said.

"Peggy! I'm going out to the Hospital to check on Bill!" Hank called.

"Alright Hank, make sure he's well enough to come to the party tomorrow!" Peggy called back.

Hank and boomahuer got into hank's truck. Just as he was pulling out of the drive way, Dale ran up to window.

"Hank!, I think they're on to me!" He shouted.

"Not now Dale, Bill's in the hospital!" Hank shouted back.

Dale began talking to himself.

"I gotta get my family out of here, they could be a target... Hank! I'm sending Nancy and Joseph to John Redcorn's place for the night until your party tomorrow!" Dale ran back to his house.


Hank and Boomhauer met Bill at the hospital. Bill had his arm in a sling.

"Bill! what happened to your arm!" Hank asked.

"Oh.. it was nothing, I was just going on the roof and my ladder seemed to have slipped or something, and I fell" Bill said uncomfortably.

"Bill, There's more to it then that" Hank said.

"Well.. uh... someone could have knocked the ladder down, but I don't know who, so I don't think thats possible... hank... and you know how my balance is" Bill mumbled.

Bill stood up from his chair.

"Conveniently, I should be alright to leave, the nurses don't think its broken... and I wouldn't want to miss Peggy's party tomorrow" Bill said quietly.

They headed off.


Hank climbed into his bed. What a messed up day. Conveniently, the latter half of the day was a lot less eventful.

He still couldn't help wonder if there was a connection between the men trying to kidnap Bobby and the Truck chasing them. The fact that Dale had shot two people today didn't even seem to faze him. Peggy climbed into bed with him.

"Hey Hank, wanna have some rough sex?" she asked.

Hank stared at her, instantly blushing.

"Peggy!" He said.

"Come on Hank, lets get dirty!" She said, grabbing his shirt.

Hank pushed her away. "Not now Peggy!, Why are you acting this way!" He asked, moving back from her.

"Oh come on Hank, it's been so long!" She said, trying to grab his shirt again.

"Peggy, this isn't the right time, please, I'm really stressed!" He said.

"Stressed eh? We can fix that" Peggy said. she jumped at him. Hank dodged out of the way and got out of the bed.

"Peggy!" he said.

The door opened. Bobby ran in.

"Dad! Dad!, There's these people outside the house!" bobby cried out.

"What?" He asked. Bobby grabbed his sleeve and tried to pull him out the room. Hank followed. Peggy sat on the bed, disappointed.

Out in the hall, Hank grabbed his 9 iron golf club.

"they're in the front yard" Bobby said, pointing at the door and getting behind Hank.

Hank walked slowly to the door and opened the door.

It was dark outside. He could see three shapes standing at the end of his lawn, looking at his home.

Hank flipped on all the indoor lights. The light shone on the yard through the window, illuminating the men.

They all wore black, and had sunglasses on.

"Get off my property!" Hank shouted, waving the 9 iron threateningly.

The three men took a step forward.

Hank took half a step back. The men began to walk slowly towards the door.

"Dad! Do something!" Bobby cried out. Hank grabbed his shoulder to calm him down.

The three men stopped. They stared at Hank, then stopped and turned around. They walked away into the night and disappeared quickly.

"You better run!" Hank shouted at them.

"Dad!" Bobby squealed.

"What son!" Hank asked.

"Mom." Bobby replied.

Hank turned and looked. Peggy was standing behind them, starring off into the night.

"Peggy... are you okay?" Hank asked.

Peggy looked at him confused.

"Sorry... Hank.. I must have fazed out, lets go back to bed for some good time" She said.

"I think I'll sleep on the couch, watch out for those men" Hank said.

Peggy went back to her room without a word.
