Thomas picked up his chainsaw as he looked through the hideout. So far he could find nothing but the skeletons of their previous victims. He was getting really worried. What if Mindy found Stretch before he could get her out of here?
"Tommy, did you find anyone yet?" Mindy asked.
Thomas shook his head. He continued looking through the hideout. He stopped as he heard running footsteps and heavy breathing. It had to be Stretch. He started up his chainsaw and stood at the end of the corridor just as Stretch reached him.
"Did you find someone?" Mindy asked.
Thomas didn't answer her. Instead he ran after Stretch who was now running in the other direction. He followed her closed revving the chainsaw. As they reached the doorway, rubble, rocks and wooden beams came falling, blocking the doorway. Thomas held the chainsaw in front of his face trying to keep the dirt and stuff out of his eyes and mouth.
"Alright! Alright!" Stretch yelled. "Let's talk about it!"
Thomas turned off the chainsaw and lowered it away from her. What did she want to talk about?
"What are you pissed off about?" she asked. "What about me?"
What was he mad about? Everything! He didn't want Stretch here. He didn't even want to be here.
"Listen, this is not going to work out", Stretch said.
Thomas pushed the chainsaw into her chest and shook his head. She got it all wrong. He didn't want her.
"I'm trying to be open with you", she continued. "It's nobody's fault. I just can't do this."
Thomas closed his eyes and shook his head again. Stretch was so weird. Why did he even bother giving her any attention earlier? Now here they were with the hideout falling apart and Stretch might be the cause of it.
"Let me go", she cried.
Thomas shook his head again as he pushed her with the chainsaw. Nope. She was ruining his home and straining his relationship with Mindy.
"What the hell's going on here?"
Drayton, Chop Top and Mindy came running down the corridor. Thomas looked at Mindy hoping she wasn't going to get mad at him.
"Tommy, you nap haired idiot", Drayton said pulling him away from Stretch.
"Tommy, who's this?" Mindy asked.
"Who's this?" Drayton asked. "I get it! Are you the saboteur that's been fucking up our house? Trying to put me out of business? Thousands of dollars lost. You got that kind of money?"
"No!" Chop Top said. "It's the DJ! My fave!"
"That dirty thing?" Drayton asked. "You told me you boys got her!"
"That's what Tommy told me!" Mindy said. "You lied to me?"
"Well, yeah", Chop Top said. "Tommy killed her once already today."
"Chop, how could he have killed her if she's right here?" Mindy asked.
"But look!" he continued. "She's red-faced! Tommy's been playing with her. Tommy likes her. Tommy's got a girlfriend!"
Mindy gasped as she turned to Thomas who looked at her with a sorry look on his face.
"Tommy's got a girlfriend!" Chop Top began singing. "Tommy's got a girlfriend! Tommy's got a girlfriend! Tommy's got a girlfriend! Tommy's got a girlfriend! Tommy's got a girlfriend!"
"Is that what this is, Tommy?" Drayton asked. "S-C-E-X…sex?"
Thomas didn't answer. Mindy looked at him as tears came to her eyes.
"Tommy…is this true?" she asked. "Do you like her?"
He shrugged not wanting to answer. He didn't want to hurt her feelings.
"Tommy, answer me, you damn liar!" she yelled. "What does he have that I don't?"
"Help me", Stretch whimpered. "Help me. Please help me."
Thomas reached his hand out toward her. All that crying from her was starting to get on his nerves. Before he could touch her, Drayton pulled him back.
"Alright, Miss", he said to her. "Cut that that out. Leave him alone, damn it!"
"Thomas Brown Hewitt, I can't believe you!" Mindy said. "We told you to kill her, not flirt with her!"
"Tommy, you were supposed to finish her", Drayton said. "Finish her now."
Thomas looked back at Mindy who had tears falling from her eyes. Tears of anger and hurt.
"Burn her like a rat", Chop Top suggested.
"Finish her", Drayton told Thomas.
"Burn her like a rat!"
"Finish her now."
"Burn her like a rat! Burn her like a rat, rat, rat! Burn her like a rat!"
"Finish her now, Tommy. Finish her!"
Thomas couldn't take it all. He looked at Mindy who was now looking angry at him and Stretch who was scared out of her mind. Thomas shook his head not wanting to do anything. He was tired of it all. He was tired of Stretch. He was tired of Drayton. He didn't want to do it anymore.
"Give me that!" Drayton said taking the chainsaw away from him. "Turned traitor for a piece of tail."
"Tommy, I'm so ashamed of you", Mindy cried.
"You got one choice, boy! Sex or the saw. Sex is…well nobody knows. But the saw…the saw is family!"
"The saw is family!" Chop Top repeated.
"Wait till granddad hears about this."
Thomas looked at Mindy as Drayton left with the chainsaw. She continued crying as she turned away from him. He wanted to tell her he was sorry. He shouldn't have lied to her. He shouldn't have let himself fall for Stretch. Thomas laid his arm on Mindy's shoulder.
"Don't touch me", she cried.
Thomas stepped closer toward her and turned her around.
"I said don't touch me!" she yelled. "You fucking liar! I can't believe you did this to me!"
She raised her hand and slapped him across the face. She pulled away and ran off. Thomas rubbed his cheek as he heard her sob while she ran. A single tear made its way down his face as he decided not to follow her. He started hitting his head on the lamp next to him calling himself every fool there was for letting this happen.
