Chapter 2 – Brynn

"Oh wow, look at the time," I say to Riley.

I feel like quickly changing the subject both because I'm embarrassed at how much I'd love to get laid and also because I don't want Caleb to overhear this conversation, even though he's too young to understand most of it.

I never thought there would be things I don't even want to tell Riley. But our lives have become so different since back in law school that I don't think she'd be able to understand.

I head out to the living room where I'd left my stuff.

"I need to put my makeup on," I tell Riley. "You're going to have to help me apply this stuff because I rarely ever wear it. And you've always known more about how to..."

I trail off as I see the news footage on Riley's living room TV.

"What the...?"

"Brynn? What's wrong?" Riley calls out from the bathroom.

"Oh my God, Riley. Come look at this."

She joins me in the living room and we watch in horror as clowns chase people down the street, wielding canes and clubs like weapons.

"Wow," she says. "I'd heard about these clowns but I thought it was more, like, practical joke type stuff."

"What exactly have you heard?" I ask her.

"That it's something that started with a rogue group of clowns doing stupid shit but it soon spiraled a bit out of control and now there have been creepy clown sightings and clowns involved in crimes across the nation."

"Many people thought these initial clown pranks were harmless," says the newscaster on TV, seeming to pick up right where Riley had left off. "But now we're coming to find that these clowns are no laughing matter. They're to be taken very seriously. If you see a clown tonight, don't assume it's just a normal Halloween costume. Instead, be very cautious because the clowns are getting more dangerous."

"This has to be some kind of Halloween joke, right?" I ask Riley, mainly looking for reassurance.

I take another peek at Caleb, who is happily playing with Drew's toys while still refusing to share his truck.

"Or it's like, this station's attempt to get better ratings with their scare tactics masquerading at media coverage?"

"I don't know," Riley says, shaking her head. "But I hope you're right."

"In fact," the reporter continues, "the clowns have even started engaging in more serious criminal behavior that has hurt local residents."

The screen flashes to a woman sitting on a curb with her head in her hands. Her makeup is running down her face as she cries into the camera.

"I was just standing here minding my own business when a clown ran up and grabbed my ass!" she says. "And then he grabbed my purse."

"Is this some kind of Halloween practical joke?" Riley muses out loud. "Are they going to have some parody rapper come out and start singing, 'Hide your asses, hide your purses?'"

"Riley!" I say, sternly, hoping that our boys didn't hear her say the word "ass." But I can't help laughing just a little bit.
