Meanwhile, JT was still scooting off to get to Ashley before it was too
late. He heard a car horn honking vociferously, awakening him from his
zoned-out demeanor. JT stopped the scooter and looked to see who was in the
car--Toby, and Mr. Kerwin.
Toby: Hey JT!
--He yelled out the window. JT waved.
Mr. Kerwin: Do you need a ride?
JT bit his lip. Should he tell Mr. Kerwin about Ashley?
He ran up to the car window.
JT: ASHLEY! She's upset! And depressed! And something awful might have happened! We have to get there before the WORST! Quick! Rev the gas, just get HOME!
He was babbling incoherently. Mr. Kerwin put his hand on JT's shoulder.
Mr. Kerwin: Calm down, young man. What's with all this incoherent babbling? What's wrong with Ashley?
JT opened the back door and jumped in.
JT: HIT THE GASSSSS!!!
--He screamed, at the top of his young, undamaged lungs. Instinctively Mr. Kerwin floored the gas pedal, and the car shot forward down the quiet street.
Rick, being the rapid eater he was, completely finished off Mrs. Kerwin in the space of 7 minutes and 59 seconds. He hid her bones under the bed, where he had also kicked the suitcase with Ashley's bones. He was just starting in on Snake's meaty arms when he heard the doorknob downstairs turning.
Mr. Kerwin: Is anybody in here?
He had seen Mr. Simpson's car in the driveway, and, thinking like Mrs. Kerwin that an intruder was in the house, opted to go in first and leave Toby and JT in the car.
Toby: JT, what the heck were you talking about? And do you know whose car that is?
JT shook his head solemnly. He knew Toby would get mad when he told him this, but he just couldn't keep it to himself.
JT: Ashley *clears throat*....Ashley asked me for Ecstasy.
Toby: E?? WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?
JT: --So I asked my cousin for all the X he had. 52 pills.
Toby: I'M GONNA KILL YOU, YORKE!
JT: And when I delivered all the pills to her, she was acting all weird...like she wouldn't ever see me, or anyone else, ever again....
Toby slapped JT.
Toby: I can't believe you were so stupid! She's probably dead now and it's ALL YOUR DAMN FAULT!
Toby opened the car door, and bounded out and through the front door to the house. JT ran after him, jumped on his back, and tackled Toby to the ground. The two began rolling around on the yard, fighting, and pulling each others' hair.
Toby: Hey JT!
--He yelled out the window. JT waved.
