"Shit! Shit! Shit! Fucking shit!" Eddie screams in fear and frustration as Angie flees from sight.

"What the hell did I just do?" He mutters quietly as the frustration turns to sorrow, the tears flowing from his eyes, "What do I do?"

He scrambles to the phone and dials Uncle Wayne's workplace, hoping there's a possibility he can get ahold of him.

"Hello?"

"I need to speak to Wayne Munson right now."

"I'm sorry, I believe he's unavail–"

"I need you to try. It's urgent."

"Sir, I–"

"I need to speak with him now! It's an emergency, okay? It can't wait!... So please, I need you to try."

"...Okay, one moment."

"Thank you."

"Hello, this is Wayne Munson speaking."

"Uncle Wayne, I really messed up."

"I'm sure it's not as bad as any of the other trouble you've wound up in." Wayne jokes.

"No, this is way worse than any of the other shitty things I've done."

"Eddie, son, what happened?"

"Angie and I got into a big fight about mom." Eddie sniffles.

"Your mom? What brought that up?"

"Apparently, mom came to the house to make amends or something while Angie was home alone this morning."

"She came to the house?"

"Yeah, she did, and I guess Angie didn't take it so well... I got a call from her earlier saying that I needed to come home because it was urgent. But when she spoke about it, at first, I didn't see a problem with any of it... Angie snapped, Uncle Wayne. I've never seen her like that before. She screamed and cried and then..."

"Then, what, son?"

"She... she tried to leave and I wouldn't let her... I grabbed ahold of her bike so she would go back inside and we could work it out, but she just got more upset with me. I'll admit that she warned me, but when she threatened to hurt me, I didn't believe her... She threw a punch, and I'm pretty sure my nose is broken."

"So what happened to Ange? Is she okay?"

"..."

"Eddie, is she okay?"

"I don't know. After she broke my nose, she took off on her bike, going south on the highway."

"South? But that's away from town."

"I know... she's gone, Uncle Wayne. I drove her off, and I don't think she's gonna come back." Eddie sobs roughly, "I don't... I don't know what to do, Uncle Wayne. Tell me what I'm supposed to do."

"Go to the emergency room and get that nose checked out."

"But we don't have insuran–"

"I don't care. Go get it looked at, and I'll tell Jimmy that there's a family emergency and I'm taking time off."

"But he could fire you."

"Then, let him fire me. This is my family, and I'm not letting my God awful sister ruin it. I'm coming back to town. I'll meet you at home, okay?"
