"Hey, Mister!"
Oh, it's that one annoying kid again.
"Hey! I know who you are! Can I have your autograph? I'm a big fan."
He was trying to lay low. Trying to get to the bottom of this meanness wave plaguing the town.
So much for that, he grumbled, setting down his big gulp.
"Look, kid, I don't know what you've heard or who you've heard it from, but I'm not David Letterman."
Silence.
"Sorry," he added, begrudingly, as an afterthought.
Had to keep his cover.
"I know!" the kid continued, waving a pen and the collectors edition blu-ray of Rajada 2: Rajarder in his face, incessantly and insistently.
"I know who you really are!"
Rajarder? That was a real inside choice. He stared at the kid. There was something familiar about the bend of his nose, the shade of his blue eyes, but most of all the presumptuous, obnoxious way he ran his mouth, like it never occurred to him that someone might not immediately want to hear everything he had to say. It was eerily familiar, and he was never one to forget a face. Or a voice. The kid was clearly too young, but...
"My mom told me all about you!"
That would explain it.
"Did she tell you not to talk to strangers?" What an annoying brat. Had to find a way to blow him off.
"You're Dunston New Mexico! I'd know your face anywhere! I've watched this film a dozen times!"
"I'm not Dunston New Mexico. And I'm not your father, either."
A loud groan. But it wasn't the kid.
He spun around.
The boy's mother. About his age, though less gracefully aged. Still a defiant streak of dyed purple hair. Eyes looked just like the kid's, only they were tensed up in an indignant squint.
"As if," she breathed, trying to force a chuckle. It was a deep, obnoxious laugh, sounding somewhere between the starting of a chainsaw and the braying of a horse. He hadn't heard that laugh in almost 20 years.
Which wasn't nearly long enough.
"Nah. You're Jeff. From Minnesota. I remember when I really thought you were dead."
"Vanessa. From High School. I remember when you thought you were going to be famous."
He saw her finger flinch. The middle one. She flattened her hand against her thigh, trying to keep it in check. Not fast enough.
"Your make believe boyfriend ever take you to Seattle?"
He saw her frown. She nudged her head. At the kid, now obviously hers.
"Yeah," she said, most of her bombast gone.
"Ah."
"You figure this one out yet? You were..."
Her voice trailed off. Unintelligible.
"What was that?"
"You were always pretty good at this sort of thing. I know I never told you that."
"See, Vanessa, that was always your problem. I didn't ask for your opinion, and I don't want it. But here you are, just giving it anyway, like you think it's something special or valuable."
"Whatever Jeff I'm just trying to get in the spirit of this place. New leaf, shit like that. You don't have to still be such a jerk. Do you?"
"This place is a lie, VERUCA. it's too late for Nicenicity, AND your stupid new leaf. If you were as smart as you always thought you were you'd know that."
He took a deep, slow breath.
"Nice meeting your kid."
For once, at last, she had nothing to say. He slurped his big gulp. It tasted like a silver lining.

"Mr. Happy, we've come for you."
"Who are you?"
"You know."
"Actually I really don't."
"You do know who we are. And you know we're tired of your schtick. It's a fraud, like everything else about this town, and we're going to prove it one person at a--"
"HOLY SHIT I DON'T CARE!" he bellowed.
But it was too late.
"Oh. Damn. Oops!" They shrugged their shoulders as they looked down at their handiwork.
"Our bad, dude."
