another. If you find the Peugeot missing its hood ornament come back here.
    —So we’re all just supposed to wander through a pitch-black neighborhood and keep our eyes peeled for something that’s not there.
    —Pay attention. If you see the cops, don’t automatically run. They’ll chase you if you run. Just wait and see if the cops are even interested in you. If they question you, tell ’em you’re looking for a party. If they askwhere, tell them 732 Glenwood Springs. That’s on the other side of River Oaks. That’s important. If they turn on their lights or get out of the car—then you run. If you have to run from the cops go into backyards, start jumping fences. Cops can’t jump fences. And don’t stop running. Don’t ever think you can hide. They want you to hide so they can catch up. That’s how you get away from the cops.
    —How do we know when it’s midnight?
    —Who wears a watch?
    —Not me.
    —Not me.
    —Fuck.
    —We can look in through people’s windows at their clocks.
    —Like that won’t attract the attention of the cops.
    —Why are you so obsessed with the cops, Malcolm?
    —Because you fucking stole beer from the corner convenience store four hours ago, you dumb fucks. It only takes one little mistake for this whole thing to be over. You only have to get the cops just a little interested in us. Or the neighborhood association. Or the fucking dogcatcher.
    —All right. Chill out.
    —We’re squatting in houses. This isn’t gonna last forever. Some of us get to go back home and some of us will go to the settlement house. But we only have as long as we’re smart. We only have as long as we can get along.
    —How about we just use our best judgment about midnight and we look for watches in the future?
    —And I’m not obsessed with cops. I’m just trying to be careful.
    —All right. All right.
    —But if you do get any attention from the cops, if you do have to run and hop fences and all that, do it in the opposite direction. Run away from this house. All right. We can’t all meet up back here if there’s a bunch of cop cars here. All right?
    —You’re totally obsessed.
    —Fuck off.
    —Stop it.
    —You’re messing up my fucking hair.
    —Your hair?!
    —Fuck off.
    —We’re looking for a psychopath who runs over people like us!
    —I’m not. I’m fucking out of here.
    —What do you think we’re gonna do to this Peugeot guy when we find him? It’s gonna mess up more than your hair. This is our first hunt. And you’re walking away like a fucking kid.
    —Leave him alone.
    —He’ll come back.
    —He’ll probably be the one who finds the Peugeot guy.
    —So we’re really gonna do it? We’re really gonna fuck this Peugeot guy up?
    —Just come back here when you find him. Don’t try to be a hero and check out his house or disable his security system or anything you see from the movies. Don’t do anything to tip him off. Just come back here and we’ll all go after him as a pack.

Bobert, Tom, and Anquille go around to the other side of the school .
    —Do you think it’s midnight yet?
    —I think it’s like nine p.m. I think we’ve only been walking for five minutes.
    —Jesus, we’ll cover the whole city by midnight.
    —I think that’s the idea.
    —Let’s head up to the school. We can sit on the swings or something.
    —Like little pendulums on a clock to pass the time.
    —I don’t even wanna find the thing we’re looking for.
    —Yeah.
    —I had what I wanted.
    —Yeah.
    —Legend of Zelda could have kept me going for weeks.
    —I liked playing it, too.
    —I like to get high and make myself believe that video games and movies are real.
    —That’s a good idea.
    —My house, my living situation, was always shit. You’re older, it’s different.
    —Not always, Bobert.
    —I have a stepdad.
    —Yeah, I guess you get rid of those when you move out.
    —But if I have to go back home that’s what’s waiting for me.
    —What’s his deal?
    —Typical
