Mr. Monk goes to Silent Hill--Chapter two
by weirdDAR
(10 o' clock. Sharona is driving, while Monk reads a map with a handheld
flashlight.)
Sharona:
Adrian...
Monk:
What is it?
Sharona:
You're not just getting your hopes up, are you?
Monk:
Remember: that's what hopes are for.
Sharona:
Yeah, I know...but this is obviously a trick. Possibly a trap.
Monk:
Whoever wrote that letter, Trudy or not, knew things only the two of us
knew of. So what if it was Trudy's killer? What if it was someone who
knows of Trudy's killer? It's only a gut feeling, but I think we're
going to find some of the answers I've been looking for all these years.
Sharona:
If you say so.
(Silence)
Monk:
I need to go.
Sharona:
Go? Where?
Monk:
Bathroom. I need to go.
Sharona:
You should of went before we left. I went. Why didn't you go?
Monk:
Because I didn't have to go.
Sharona:
Neither did I.
Monk:
Wait--if you didn't have to go, how did you go?
Sharona:
I forced myself to go, so I wouldn't have to later.
Monk:
I suppose that would make sense. If I forced myself to go, it'd
probably be painful, and I'd never go again. Good thinking.
Sharona:
Was that a joke? Did you just make a joke?
Monk:
It was half joke, half factorial.
Sharona:
Well, I'll pull over at the next rest stop.
Monk:
Rest stop? You mean...those nasty, dirty, unclean facilites?
Sharona:
It's that or nothing.
Monk:
Nothing, thank you.
Sharona:
What? So you're not going to go?
Monk:
No. I'm not. I rather hold it in for another time than go to one of
those rest stops.
Sharona:
Have you ever been to one?
Monk:
Once. I was eleven. It was on a field trip. The bus had stopped, and
everyone went in the rest stop. It was filthy. I didn't really care
at that time, because I was eleven. All I was concerned about what
cooties...and my teacher, Mrs. Vaughn.
Sharona:
Fine! We'll wait until we get into town, and you can use one there.
Monk:
Thank you.
(Silence)
Sharona:
Is this the exit?
Monk:
(Checks map)
Yes.
(Sharona turns in the next exit as Monk crosses his legs, holding
his bladder together.)
To be continued...
Next chapter Monk and Sharona enter Silent Hill. The main road is blocked off, so they'll have to walk it.
