What does Cameron do?

Cameron looked at Josh who shrugged indicating he would do it. He wasn’t so sure he wanted to take part in it, but as he took another haul off the bottle he figured what the hell. He was hoping to spend the night at Josh’s and the best way to do that was to stay with him, wherever he went.

Minutes later the five of them were in Josh’s car heading back into town. About two houses past the school Josh pulled to the side of the road and shut off his lights. “We’ll have to walk from here. I don’t want anyone to see my car.”

They walked down the dimly lit street lined with cozy little homes on either side. No one talked on the five minute walk to Mr. Marsh’s house. Matt handed out the toilet paper and eggs then headed straight up to the house with the spray paint. Cameron in his drunken haze watched him for only a minute before he got to work with his toilet paper and eggs.

He looked around quickly as he heard the sound of breaking glass and heard Jimmy swearing a few feet away. Jimmy turned and looked at him. “Oops, didn’t know the eggs would break windows.”

Cameron snorted out a laugh not really having figured that himself. He figured the egg would break before the window, but apparently Mr. Marsh had really cheap windows.

He froze for half a second as the porch light came on. He heard several swear words then the running of feet which got his own feet running following the rest of them back out onto the sidewalk and back to the car. They ran past a couple houses then slowed their pace not wanting to draw attention to themselves; to just appear to be casually walking down the street.

“Who the fuck broke a window?” Matt whispered through clenched teeth.

“It’s not my fault.” Jimmy whispered back. “How was I supposed to know his windows were paper thin?”

“You totally ruined it Jimmy. He wasn’t supposed to wake up. He was supposed to get up tomorrow and find the mess. When we’d all be home in our beds.”

“It’s not my…” Jimmy started but was cut off.

“Oh just SHUT UP!” Matt scowled punching him in the arm.

They didn’t say another word and a few minutes later they were safely back in the car. Josh started it up and pulled away from the curb. “This was so stupid Matt. I hope you at least feel some gratification. But I’ll tell ya right now I just feel stupid. If we get in trouble for this I’m gonna kick your nasty ass!”

They had just pulled out onto the main street when the car was filled with blue light. Turning around Cameron swore under his breath seeing a police car closing in behind them. He looked at Josh in surprise as he felt the car accelerating.

“What the hell are you doing?”

“I’m not getting in trouble for this.”

Cameron’s eyes widened at the look of determination on Josh’s face as the car continued to gain speed and the sounds of the police cars sirens being turned on filled the air
