Sidney returns to Westboro and is reunited with her odd cousin. Could she be responsible for a new string of murders? Just an introduction, more stuff to come!
The old yellow Gremlin really could handle these sharp turns. The interior had these weird smell that made it easy to forget that they almost were side swiped by an 18 Wheeler about two miles back. Sydney Prescott was not excited about going back home, she left Woodhaven behind a long time ago. The murders of her friends and mother sent her away but the danger was always after her.
Her piblisist Rebecca Walters was a maniac behind the wheel. While Sidney appreciated her willingness to please she wasn't sure she could handle her punctuality at times.
"It's 50. We're entering town," Sidney cautioned.
"We have a 3 o'clock, Sidney, you're not a rockstar you can't just cancel last minute."
A book signing in Sydney's home town was a big deal according to Rebecca because it's where it all started, her pain and her inspiration. She was tired though of being known as only the woman that survived multiple traumas she wanted to actually move on. She was going to be staying with her aunt Kate Roberts for a couple days until she had to get back on the road again for her book tour; she didn't want to stay long, it was weird enough being back where everything began.
"I should've gotten a rental," Sidney mumbled.
"No way. I have to keep an eye on the New York Times' best selling author," Rebecca insisted.
"How does this look?"
"Uh..."
"What about this one?"
Jill Roberts was looking through her closet, she was desperate to impress her cousin, Sidney. Her best friend, Kirby really couldn't figure her out or her obsession with the murders, more so her cousin.
"Jill."
"Yes, Kirb?"
"I think you need to...slow down."
"What are you talking about?" Jill laughed off her concerns as she pulled a sultry looking blouse off a hanger, "Oh she is going to love me in this!"
"Uh..."
"What is it Kirby?"
"Are you...in love with Sidney?"
"Bahaha!" Jill mocked, "Sidney Prescott is the best thing to come out of this town. She's the bravest person I know who just so happens to be my cousin."
"K but...maybe just take it easy when you're around her."
"How do you mean?"
"Dude her friends were murdered here by her boyfriend I'm sure she doesn't want to be reminded of it."
"So I guess wearing my Stab 7 t-shirt is out of the question?"
"Isn't that the one where they go back in time?" Kirby was interupted by a text. "No way!"
"What?" Jill practically pushed her away from her own phone to get a look.
"Jenny and Marnie were murdered last night!"
"What?" Jill's face went from shocked to a sick kind of smile, "It's happening again!"
"Jill are you actually excited about this?" Kirby frowned.
"No...I mean...maybe..."
Sidney was in the middle of signing at the local bookstore when the local police arrived. Leading the herd of tanned uniforms was Tatum Riley looking all serious in her aviator sunglasses.
"Sid," said the blonde.
"Tatum?"
She removed her shades and pointed to her badge, "Sheriff Riley now."
"What's up?"
"We're going to have to get you out of here."
Sidney was taken aback, she didn't have a chance to speak. Rebecca butted in as she was returning with coffee, "Excuse me? We're in the middle of something huge right now!"
"Yeah well, so are we," Tatum said, all business.
The deputies stood around Sidney as they exited. Everyone in the store watched in confusion. Rebecca was desperate to think of a reason for why this was happening to avoid bad PR.
"So is anyone going to tell me what's happening?"
"There was a double homicide last night," a blonde deputy said, "Judy Hicks," she awkwardly introduced herself.
"Uh, hi."
Tatum opened the back door for her, "Are you staying with anyone while you're here, Sidney?"
"My aunt's."
"Ok. We're going to take you there. I'll get two of my best to keep an eye on you."
"For how lo..."
The door was shut. Sidney felt like she was in a nightmare. All of her worst fears of returning to Westboro were coming true.
