The Day

Bill goes to get the birthday cake, and is turned to a new path.

 "Chicago! L! A! " somebody with newspapers screams outside of the bakery where the cake was, but our young dreamer is not here for a newspaper, he's here for a cake.  However, our young dreamer does have some spare change.  So he decides to see if he can get a newspaper.  "How much are you're newspapers?" asks Jesse.  "Oh, well.  Lets see, it starts at a dollar." says Ben the newspaper man.  "I only got fifty cents." says Bill.  "Well, thats okay, you can have one anyway.  There not really selling around here." says Ben as hes handing over a newspaper.  "Thanks, and I've got to go get this cake, have I lost my mind.  Nice talking to you, you kind sir." says the boy with a smile as he walks into the bakery to get the birthday cake for his brother.
 Now this cake was chocolate.  With green icing, that said the name Phillip. It was delivered and shipped from Kentucky, and it was for a birthday.  But there's rats infested in this bakers bakery today. They've been infesting for so long, they shouldv'e shut this place down. Which by the way the health Inspector just showed in the door.  She looks around but she's a scam anyway, just looking for money that's all. So she tapes another A on the window and walks out.
 As she walks out she hears "Minnesota! Missouri! Read all about it!" and this inspector yells piss off! But a mother taking her baby on a daily stroll walks by and says "how rude". and then the mother goes into the bakery and walks to the end of line with about three people in line. The baby starts crying, as the mother goes for the bottle the baker comes out and steps on a rat. "Little Bugger, says the baker".  "oh, nasty!" says somebody in line. "I'm not eating here, there's rats everybody" says the guy again.
 And they all come rushing out. The guy that yelled rips off the health inspector sign. The guy with the newspapers gets stumbled over. The baker gets on his knees and yells. As the kid waits behind, because he needed cake and he had no coin,  Nor no dollar bill to savor.  Now this is a unusual way of reacting, but the kid needed to find other means.  Now outside as the inspector starts to run from the commotion, she hears the police.  See the police have been following her from two other towns with suspicions.  He's a Country wide police officer, in a expensive car as he turns on his lights on and stops the inspector." Oval Rapid, stop and put your hands up!" yells the cop. Oval quickly puts her hands up, then the cop goes over there to do a different type of investigating. The cop searches oval for anything she isn't supposed to have. She doesn't have anything. The cop says "wouldn't mind walking over to that bakery would you?". Oval says "what for" and the cop responds "just suspicion, thats all". Oval agrees and starts to walk over there while the newspaper guy that got trampled on begins to leave.
 The baker finally gets at least partially up from his knees and looks at the boy with a tear on his right cheek.  "What do you want!? You know I'm ruined right?!" He asks. " I need a cake, and your gonna get me a replacement" says the boy. See the boy was awfully clever, he knew the guy can just buy him a cake. "I mean he witnessed it, one less witness right? "Go to another bakery buy the same cake and get it now, I'm telling, and one person tells four, four tells 8 and so on, so go!" yells the boy.  The baker looks at him with a eye winked at him and a evil grin.  The baker says, "okay, let me scrap up some change" with a smile and some tears still running down. He finally gets all the way up, and goes for the cash register. "And oh ya, i want some extra to pay off debts to" says the boy.  "What debts do you have?" asks the baker with a chuckle. Quickly the boy yells "Shut-up!". Then the baker quickly said "okay" in response to that.
 As the baker is getting the money out the cop comes in and sees the rat the baker stepped on twitching. The cop says "Well this does look a little suspicious doesn't it?" The inspector tries to run again and the cop stops her. "Well I'm running your names, I'm also calling you guys in, and I think I know you kid. I'm calling your parents" the cop states out.  So the cop gets on his phone and starts calling away while the kid looks at the baker with a evil grin knowing he lost all chances for a immediate new cake and some extra cash that was needed for the hassle .
 Lets start talking about that baker, lets see, he's a evil guy.  Been locked up in prison a few times.  Murder charges.  It's outstanding how he has that bakery of his. He's got 6 other felony charges looking to get another charge, and he ain't wanting another charge.  So the baker runs through the kitchen.  The cop pursues. Then oval runs out the front door for her car this time.  The baker runs out of the back-door, as the cop is nine feet behind him.  When the cop finally gets out of the back door the kid goes for the cash register.
 The baker takes a right into the alleyway, and the cop kinda stumbles on some trashcans he threw.  The cop catches up about six feet in two minutes but the baker quickly whacks him on the head with a shovel.  Now as the kid gets to the cash register he quickly figures out he doesn't know how to open it.  So he starts pressing buttons, but none respond.  The cop gets back up after losing about 18 feet on him, and starts to jog towards the baker at about the same pace.
 So you think oval is already out of town right, but she isn't, and she don't know what she has in store, as well.  Well, you see oval didn't even make it out of town, she made it a couple of blocks, then the car died. And now shes hiding.  So recap, we got the boy in the bakery at the register, cop 18 feet behind the baker, which we know nothing about, and finally a young girl called Oval Rabid thats hiding somewhere a few blocks away.
 The baker sees a dumpster goes around it and pushes it in the way quickly. Well oval is in some random building checking the windows when she sees the baker run up, he says "quick, hide me". "no get out" she says and shrugs her hands up at him as to swat him away, then the baker goes in as if to go through the window when she pushes him and backs up.  The baker gets back up quickly and launches up towards the window as if to get in with nobody stopping him. Then oval runs in the opposite direction for the door so she don't get caught. I mean she did run from the law. Now the cop made it around that dumpster to see the baker and runs right for a entrance to stop him from coming out, quickly he calls for backup. "Hello this is Cyclone County Deputy, and I need some assistance at four05 cypress rd. Over."  "We'll send a officer over there immediately" says a officer over the walkie.
 "He saw me!" says the baker.  So oval stops going for the door and rushes for a bedroom to hide underneath a bed in a room full of beds.  The baker just freezes in his tracks.  Now the cop slowly opens the door steadily aiming his gun, just in case someone found a gun.  Now that the door is opened the cop slowly moves in not know that oval is hidden underneath a single bed in a kids bedroom.  It doesn't take long for him to find the baker through a living room and into a kitchen where the baker is still frozen next to the window stupidly.  "Freeze!" yells the cop.  Which he is already frozen.  The baker quickly shouts "She is in the other room!".  She can hear him and she whispers where no one can hear her "I'll kill him".  The cop says "who?", but he still quickly handcuffs the baker. The baker tries to point but the cop still grabs his arm.  After the baker is handcuffed, the cop drags him behind to where he had pointed.  "Here and who? asks the cop. "Yes, and its that stupid pesky food inspector person that you had earlier" he says.  "You mean she ran sir?" says the cop.  "yes." the baker quickly responds.  "okay I'm gonna have to wait for backup" he says.
 ten minutes later, two local cops pull up.  One a Blondie beauty, and the other a chubby looking guy. They get out and start heading to the house.  The blond with more Passion, more livelier than the other walks at a faster pace when the other walks slow.  The brunette walks inside the house first, and when she first looks at the other cop, they have a moment.  With her blondish hair, and pretty blue as the sky eyes. The was no comparison between him and the others she's dated.  With this small town, his dark hair, brown eyes, and bad boy looks was so turning her sunny side up.  He Say's "There's supposedly a suspect in this room, that was supposed to be in the bakery down the street. What did you come alone?" She blushes, and quickly runs out the door, " I need you to go to Sammy Sam's Baked Browns" the blond says to her officer. Her officer says "yes mam", and runs quicker back to the car then he did to the house, gets in and turns on the sirens.
 The boy has not figured out how to yet open the cash register.  So he runs out into the parking lot to see if anybody left a screwdriver and hammer in the back of a truck or something.  He succeeds on finding both items in a toolbox, in the back of the blue truck at the end right away. Cause he was smart enough to run out to the road, and decided to run back then forth till he saw one.  He quickly dashes back into the bakery, and puts that screwdriver at that keyhole.  Then starts repeatedly whacking that screwdriver with that hammer.  The keyhole finally broke off, but with no luck on getting the drawer out of the cash register.  The poor boy has gone to smashing the cash register itself with the hammer.  Until finally it is so far dented you can barely figure out what it is, he wiggles a piece of metal off, then touches some money.  Then he hears sirens.  The boy perks his head up drops the money back into the draw.  Goes to run out, but the cop is already opening the door.
 "Well, what do we have going on here" the cop says, and the boy whispers "nothing" trying his luck, but it doesn't go far.  The officer notices the cash register, and the mess, but the boy does not run knowing that he is not in trouble. See, he's a minor.  "What are you doing here?" asks the cop.  "Getting my cake" replies the boy "And what is with that guy with the newspaper? I mean this is Anthem for criss sakes" he quickly adds.  "I mean the cash register" says the cop.  The boy says "oh that, ya the baker owed me money".
 "You know I'm gonna have to call your parents on this one?" says the cop and walks over to the kid to ensure he doesn't run.  "You cant! I mean I'm staying at my grandparents" he adds.  "Whats your name? and where do you live? Whats there name?" asks the cop.  "Bill, and my grandpa's name is Trevor."  says Bill.  The cop quickly gets on his walkie and says "Annabella, we got no suspect, and we got a boy here that robed the cash register, saying he was getting a cake, and he's Trevor's grandkid.  What should I do?"
 Now back in the bedroom, the other two cops are getting the walkie transmission.  "Well, that means that she is still here" the male cop says to Annabella, as he gets back down from the bunk bed.  A mice runs by Oval and Oval jumps. "Did you hear that?" the cop says as he walks over to the purple single bed, and looks underneath it "there you are" he says, and pulls Oval on out.  "I just wanted some money, thats all." says Oval.  The male cop doesn't listen, turns around, Annabella hands over a pair of handcuffs, and Oval gets handcuffed.  "Where taking you in" says the male cop.  "Oh ya, I gotta report back to my deputy" she says.  "Robert, take the boy to the station and call his parents, we found the suspect where taking them in, lets meet up" says Annabella into the walkie.  "Okay" Robert responds.
 "You heard the woman kid, hop up in the car" says Robert.  "Can I get the front seat" says Bill.  "Sure, and by the way son, the guy was selling world news" the cop responds.  "Oh" quickly says Bill.  "Do you happen to know your parents number" asks the cop.  "No, but I know my grandpa's number, can I call?" asks the kid in a enthused voice.  "Sure" says the cop and hands over a cell phone, then they hop up in the car.  The boy quickly puts the numbers in, it is dialing, Robert starts the car, and starts to go.  "Hello grandpa, this is Bill, I'm in trouble" says Bill into the phone, then there's a minute pause.  "Cause I tried to rob the baker, there was rats there, and people ran, cops got involved, hay grandpa, I touched the cash!" the boy says excitedly into the phone and then another pause and you can hear his grandpa on the other end of the phone yelling at him.  "Uh, where am I going sir?" Bill asks in a little sorry voice.  "You just going up to the Anthem police station, we cant really do anything to you without your parents present" says the cop.  "Okay, grandpa, Anthem police station, got it? the kid quickly explains into the phone.  Then the kid turns his head over to the cop and says "he said he'll be there".  The cop just smiles off out through the window as if something caught his eye.
 Later down the road.  "Hay did you hear about that heat wave thats been burning people in L.A.?" asks the cop.  "Yes I have, its all over the radio, dad says it's gonna be a harsh winter." replies the boy.  "Well you're dad might be right, who knows some people might freeze" jokes Robert.  "It's probably better than those multiple twisters popping up so much lately.  Did you hear about the science people re-creating Dino's a couple of years ago?" asks Bill.  "Well, I'm not to worried about them, but these canines have been more aggressive lately, and anyways what about there black hole idea?" asks Robert.  "See, I think that we might end up in that black hole thingy" replies Bill.  "Well, where here, now we just gotta wait for your parents, come on" Robert demands.  Robert and Bill both get out of the cop car and head into the police station.  Only one cop is there and he was the one on the radio from earlier.
 While in the other cop car the male cop says "my name is Tim".  Annabella blushes then turns to him to says "my name is Annabella".  "I know" says Tim.  "How?" asks Annabella.  "Heard it on your walkie"  replies Tim.  Annabella blushes again "So do you know who this one is?" asks Annabella.  "I don't know, gotta scan his fingerprints" says Tim.  "You can do it at our police department" persuades Annabella.  "Oh thanks, by the way which road do I gotta turn on?" asks Tim, and Annabella quickly looks out of the window like she wasn't paying attention.  "Back there" she says.  At the police department Trevor walks in with Phillip.  "Boy!" yells Trevor.  "Where is the boy's parents?" asks Roberts.  "There out of town." says Trevor and walks over to Robert and Bill.  "So, what do I got to do to get him out?  We got to be at a birthday party and it sounds like I got to get a new cake" says Trevor and about that time Tim and Annabella come in with the baker and Oval.  Tim puts Oval in a cell, as Annabella goes to finger print the baker.  "How long will it take to figure out who he is? asks Tim.  "three days, where running on old technology" replies Annabella.  "Can I get a new cake!?" Trevor asks in a shout, Tim and Annabella just looks at him.  "Do you know who that is Tim? We can at least help him." says Annabella.
 "I'll go find the phone book" says Robert and he finally walks away from Bill to go look for the phone book.  "Your in big trouble with your grandma to boy, wait till we get home" says Trevor to Bill.  Bill looks down and puts his hands over his face.  "Got the finger prints!" yells Annabella excitedly towards Tims.  Tim comes over and then puts the baker in a separate cell.  Robert quickly finds a bakery's number and shouts "I got one!".  "Here, see if the guy has got there money on him" says Tim and then he goes over to his stuff himself and checks.  "Hay, thats my money!" yells the baker, but Tim not listening pulls out a fifty dollar bill.  "Here this should do it, and oh ya, I got something for you kid." says Tim while he pulls a dollar out of his pocket and hands it to Bill, Bill then smiles while his grandpa lets him keep the dollar.  Annabella walks over to Trevor and says "you can take him home, just don't let him do it again, okay".  "Okay, lets go boys, and I promise he wont be here again.  Robert hands the number which is written on a ticket slip to Trevor.  "Thanks" says Trevor.
 As they walk out of the door Trevor says to Bill "don't you ever do anything this stupid again, or I will beat you like your my red headed step child."  "Okay" Bill mutters out.  "And that cake was ninety dollars" says Trevor to himself.  All three of them slowly get into Trevor's truck to go cake shopping, but Trevor just remembered that he has no way of calling since he has no cell phone, and he was not going back to the police station so he thought to himself that he'll go to a gas station.  While there cruising along, there is no peep from nobody.
 Phillips 66 is the closest gas station to them, and Phillip is excited that there at a place he thinks is named after him.  Trevor asks the boys if they want a drink and they all go into the gas station.  Phillip himself picks out a Sunkist, Bill a Pepsi, and Trevor gets nothing know that they need all the money for the cake.  Trevor walks up to the counter to buy and then he buys.  "Can I use a phone?" asks Trevor. "Yes" replies the cashier, and then the cashier hands over a phone and Trevor begins to dial.
 "Hello I'm looking for a cake to be made within a hour that says Phillip on it" says Trevor into the phone, and then there's a slight pause.  "Okay, and you're located on Winchester avenue?" asks Trevor into the phone.  "Okay, I'll be there, bye, thanks"  Trevor finally says into the phone and then hangs up.  "Come on boys, we got a cake to get" says Trevor rushing the boys out to the truck.
 About thirty minutes later the three make it to a bakery called The Most Delicious Bakery in Town.  Trevor and the boys walk into the bakery and Trevor says  "I'm the one that called about a cake that says Phillip on it".  The guy at the cash register says "it is here, and done.  That'll be sixty dollars".  Trevor is thankful it is not no ninety, but he still only got fifty from the other baker, but he knew.  See Trevor was smart enough to bring money from home when Bill said that there where rats at the other place, so he had it covered.  "Here you go" says Trevor then he hands the guy sixty dollars, then grabs the cake.  All three exit the place and head back to the vehicle.
