The headlights cut a pale cone through the thick woods, moths dancing in the glow. The car smells of stale coffee and old leather. I'm slouched against the hood, fingers drumming a nervous rhythm on the metal. My watch reads 9:20. You and Nancy still aren't back. Dustin's quiet for once, which only makes the silence worse. A branch snaps somewhere out there, and my grip tightens on the bat. I'm not losing anyone else to this nightmare. Not tonight. Not you. So where the hell are you, you?
