## Plot

Tuesday, March 5th, 1991. Kollok, Washington. 8AM. A woman stands in her ivory tower. We'll check back on her at another time.

Skye Hawkins body, along with Rachel Jewell's diary, has just disappeared down a hole in the ground after being handed a piece of paper by a man in a suit. The group looks up and the man is gone. The hole is gone. Skye is gone. Only a few pictures that fell from the diary remain. Marcus picks up the pictures and counts among them a picture of an alleyway, a picture of a social studies teacher named Brian Thomas, and the car of Michael Jones (Mickey's father).

The group attempts to calm Sammy Reilly, who is having difficulty dealing with the situation. When asked what Rachel said to him the previous day, Sammy tells them that she said that they would never got back together again because she was in love with Marcus. Afterward, she handed him a little piece of paper with some weird lines on it, said goodbye, called him a piece of shit, and walked away. Sammy denies having anything to do with Rachel's disappearance. The group resolves to go about the day as if nothing happened, and to not to talk to anyone about the recent weirdness.

William Jones, the school librarian, approaches the kids in the school parking lot because the first period bell has recently rung. The librarian reminds them that school has just started. Billy apologizes and tells him that he just peed his pants and Sammy vomited. Mr. Jones acknowledges the situation and ushers the kids inside the building. Marcus says that he has a class with Mr. Thomas and that he will try to get information. Mickey asks if they will reconvene at lunch, and the group agrees. Mr. Jones escorts Billy to the nurses office to get some pants.

Mickey has home economics first period with Miss Pettit(sp?). Mickey never pays attention to this class, and normally writes. But this time she is distracted. She now has people that she has to rely on and exchange with, and she's not sued to that.

Marcus has social studies first period with Mr. Thomas. Marcus stares at Mr. Thomas as he teaches the class, holding his picture in one hand. Marcus remains after the bell signals the end of first period. He approaches Mr. Thomas and says there's something that he needs to talk to him about. He asks the teacher if he knows Rachel Jewell, which he does not. He has not even heard of the family. Marcus shows him the picture he has been holding. Mr. Thomas does not know where the picture came from. Marcus, however, does not believe him. He tells the teacher that picture came from Rachel Jewell's diary. Once again, Mr. Thomas says he does not know who that is. As the second period class starts filing in, Marcus continues with his accusatory questions. Mr. Thomas holds on to the picture. The bell for second period rings, and Marcus finally leaves.

Billy Baker is in his freshman art class for second period with Mr. Lauder(sp?). He sits next to his best friend Tibby. Billy asks if Tibby knows Rachel Jewell, which he, of course, does not. Billy proceeds to tell Tibby the entire story, convincing his friend that they are in the wrong time line. Billy asks for Tibby's help in fixing the timeline.

Second period ends. During third period, before lunch, Mr. Thomas notices that Skye Hawkins does not make it to class, as he holds on to the picture. He notices another empty chair. He cannot remember why that chair is empty; it's in the front row. Mr. Thomas notices a collection of movies, Hong Kong films, in his desk. He doesn't remember why he has them. He also notices an empty space in his record-keeping book between the names "Skye Hawkins" and "Mike Mikelson", where Rachel's name would fit perfectly.

Skye, Billy, and Mickey are called to the principal's office over the loudspeaker. Before they enter, they see the hat of sheriff. The principal[1] opens the door and beckons them inside. She asks if either of them have seen Skye. They say they haven't. Before the sheriff begins asking questions, it becomes obvious that there's tension between him and Mickey. The sheriff says that he does not appreciate them picking on the Jewell family like they have been. Mickey says that she is the one that said Rachel is real and duped Billy into it after the sheriff starts digging into Billy.

Billy admits to making the "prank" call, but he cannot explain why he did it. He tries to get information about the Jewell family from the sheriff. The sheriff warns the kids that they need to stop and he doesn't want to hear about them bothering the Jewell family any more. The principal excuses the kids and lets them go.

Billy and Mickey make their way to lunch. They see Marcus sitting and staring. They sit down next to Marcus, as does Sammy. Marcus begins to talk but he is interrupted by Nea Mallak, a known gossiper. Nea asks where Skye is. Her car is in the parking lot, but no one has seen her. She asks if she actually beat up a homeless person. Marcus embellishes the story, and then Marcus warns her that Skye might be coming for her next. Nea starts to get nervous and leaves.

The group shares information once Nea leaves. Billy mentions that he told Tibby everything and that he believes him, even though they agreed not to tell anyone. Sammy then says he told a lot of people, but no one believes him. Marcus starts going on about his theory that there is a secret cult, and people know the truth but aren't saying anything. As he expands on his theory, Mr. Thomas sits down at their table. Mr. Thomas says that he wants to help them get to the bottom of what's going on. Sammy blurts out that Rachel took the picture of him, and accuses the teacher of an inappropriate relationship with her. Sammy says that he saw them together two months ago. Mr. Thomas started driving her around after she lost her car.

Mr. Thomas continues to assert that he doesn't know Rachel. He says he would be going to the movies with his girlfriend Jessica. It comes out quickly that he and Jessica have broken up. Nea told Sammy that it was because of the inappropriate relationship with Rachel. Billy tells Mr. Thomas that he needs to help them get to the bottom of the picture. Sammy starts panicking again, and the group once again calms him down. Sammy asks if the Mr. Thomas can drive them around, and he agrees.

Tibby suddenly walks up, trying hard to act cool. Billy asks Tibby if he knows anything about the Jewell family. Tibby says that when his father was about to serve jail time, his father said that Jacob Jewell had "a stick up his butt because of what happened to his family." Unfortunately, Tibby couldn't tell them what that meant. Billy tells Tibby to do more research. They tell him not to talk to anyone else about the situation.

As a sign of trust, the group asks for the picture back from Mr. Thomas. Sammy brings up what Skye read from the diary concerning Mickey's dad and shoes, and that Michael Jones was talking to Rachel. Mickey says her dad wouldn't get mixed up in that sort of thing. Despite Mickey's protests, they decide that's the best place to start looking for answers. They leave together, conspicuously, and gets inside the teacher's station wagon. They head to the affordable housing complex so Mickey can talk to her dad.

During an exchange between Sammy and Mickey, it is revealed that Mickey's dad does security for Synchroneity. Mickey says he doesn't know what is going on at the corporation, and that he just works around town.

Mickey goes inside the apartment building, but her dad is not inside. Mickey uses her ability to find where her dad is. The voice inside her head tells her that he is at the local bar up the street. She rejoins the group and tells them their new destination. Mr. Thomas volunteers to go into the bar and get him to come out to the parking lot. Before he leaves, Billy gives him a walkie-talkie. He's confused by the offer, but accepts it anyway.

The teacher enters the bar and addresses Michael Jones. Mr. Thomas announces himself as his daughter's teacher. He asks for him to come outside to the parking lot. Mr. Jones is unwilling to outside, wanting to continue drinking. Mr. Thomas continues to try to convince him to leave, but only angers the man.

Outside, Sammy suggests breaking into Mickey's dad's car, and search it. Mickey says that she has a key. Sammy volunteers to be the one to break into the car. Billy uses his ability to sense danger. The voice inside his head tells him that he should be worried about Mr. Thomas and not Sammy. Billy quickly tells Mickey that that they need to get inside, then runs off. Mickey runs off after him. Mr. Jones sees them as they come inside. He asks why she's out of school and what's the emergency the teacher has been talking about. Mickey says that she needs his help.

Billy asks for a coffee, the bartender instead offers a water,

Meanwhile, Sammy is still convinced he still break into the gold Oldsmobile. He wants to do something in order to make up for all the things he's done. He and Marcus make their way over to the car and notice that a window is cracked open. Together they start to push down the window. As they struggle to do so, Marcus sees Sketchy the squirrel. Sketchy asks to be part of his gang in exchange for his help. Sammy notices him talking to the squirrel and questions it. Marcus tells Sammy to just keep pushing on the window.

Sammy gets the window down and Sketchy jumps inside. It slides its body into the trunk. Sketchy calls out to Marcus to check the trunk. They see fifty pairs of women's heels in the back. trunk. None of them are in boxes, but they are kept in pairs.

Inside, Mickey asks her dad if he knows Rachel Jewell. She asks if he remembers pulling up to the side of the road and offering a girl some shoes. He says that he doesn't know Rachel, and he can't tell her what he does. He says that he had to sign something. She asks what did he do. He says he doesn't remember Rachel. That he doesn't remember a lot of them. Mickey is taken back by the word "them". He says he doesn't think he hurt them, but he just remembers waking up and all that's left is the shoes. Mickey insists that if he doesn't know, then he didn't do anything. Michael Jones says that she's in danger now because he's not supposed to tell anyone.

Mr. Jones notices that the bartender, Nathan Kaiser, has been listening. His demeanor turns dark, and he tells Mickey to leave. He becomes more and more insistent that she take her friends and go outside. She agrees, and grabs Billy and Mr. Thomas. Once outside, they see the trunk of her dad's car open with Sammy and Marcus nearby. Then there is a gunshot from inside. Billy wants to leave. Sammy closes the oldsmobile's trunk. Skye wants to go back inside and check on her dad. Mr. Thomas tries to convince Mickey not to go inside, but she opens the door anyway. She sees her dad holding a gun surrounded by a white washcloth, crying. Mr. Jones says that she need to go.

Everyone gets into Mr. Thomas' station wagon, including Sketchy. They hear the sound of sirens. Mickey tells them that she thinks her dad shot the bartender. Sketchy calls her dad a murderer, and Mickey says that someone is murdering him. Marcus realizes that Mickey can now hear the squirrel too. Delaying the conversation about the squirrel, Sammy and Marcus show Mickey the shoes they found in the back of her dad's trunk. Mickey again defends her dad.

While driving away, they notice Jacob Jewell, heading towards his office. Billy suggests that they head to the alley by his office. As they follow the man downtown, Mr. Thomas slams on the brakes to avoid hitting the Shoveler. Sketchy says that the Shoveler buries your shit when the others inquire about him. The continue towards the law offices.

In the alley, Marcus tries to open the back door of the law offices, but it is locked. Mr. Thomas pulls out a pair of lock-picks and picks the lock. Billy hands one of his walkie-talkies to Mickey, and retrieves the other one from Mr. Thomas. And proceeds inside the law office of Slater & Jewell, the door locking behind him. Billy moves deeper into the building, making his way to Jacob's office. He finds a locked drawer and starts looking for a key. Billy hears the door knob start to turn, and he hides. Jacob notices Billy and realizes it's the same boy that "pranked" him that morning. Billy says he came to apologize, but Jacob didn't see him enter through the front door. Billy says he came in the back door, but Jacob knows that door is locked. So he drags Billy to the security room to check the surveillance tape.

Sammy gets worried and starts to go into the law office. They think better of the idea, and Mickey goes instead. Sammy tells Mickey to ask for Tobias Slater and to us the fact that she needs a lawyer. Mickey hands the walkie-talkie to Sammy, who beckons for Marcus and Mr. Thomas to come back.

Billy presses the button on the walkie-talkie, and the others hear Jacob talk. They listen as they watch the tape, as Mickey enters the front of the building. Mickey says that her father was wrongfully arrested and asks for Tobias Slater. Meanwhile, Jacob asks what Billy and his friends are up to. Billy says that they found a picture of his office and they thought it was a clue about what he asked him about that morning. Jacob gets visibly upset. At the mention of his daughter's name, he punches a hole in the wall. Billy says that he saw her get taken, and that he wants to fix it. Jacob gets angrier and asks who put Billy up to this. Bill says "the scary one".

Tobias passes Jacob's door on the way to the front to meet Mickey. He notices the hole in the wall and Billy, and realizes his partner is upset. Tobias mentions that he's on the way up front to talk to Mickey Jones. Billy says she's with him. Jacob immediately assumes that Michael Jones is behind all this. Tobias tries to calm his partner. Jacob mentions that March 5th was the day that he got out of the hospital after his family died. He's curious how Mr. Jones found this out. He wonders why everyone is messing with his life. Billy says that they're just trying to help, but he wouldn't understand. Jacob says that he will make sure that Michael Jones is locked away forever, and starts crying.

Jacob goes to the front, and sees Mickey. He tells Mickey that she should be ashamed of herself. Mickey says that her dad had nothing to do with this. Mickey makes a scene while Billy finds some keys and runs back to Jacob's office and finds a folder. He sneaks out with it and joins the other outside. Billy starts reading one of the documents inside. The date on the Town Council letter is April 4th, 1980. The also find a newspaper clipping, snippet below:

Dead on the scene were Jacob's wife, 29 year-old Ming Jewell and their daughter Rachel Jewell, 6, and their son Linny who was 1."***

They also find a zipper and five sheets of blank paper in the folder. Billy thinks the blank pieces of paper were once photos. He and Marcus speculate on what actually happened, and if there are alternate realities.

A baseball bat hits the rear window of Mr. Thomas' car. They see Jacob Jewell as he strikes the window a second time, cracking the window. Marcus starts running. Mr. Thomas runs after Marcus. Billy runs to the front of the law office, yelling for Mickey. Jacob sees the folder that Billy is carrying and asks what he is doing with it. Jacob becomes more incensed.
