Billy Freeman

**Billy Freeman** is the tritagonist in Doctor Sleep and it’s film adaptation.

While Dan Torrance is looking at the train, Billy comes up to Dan to greet him. They talk about the train and Billy asks Dan if he needs work because Casey Kingsley is hiring someone to work the train. Dan doesn’t want the job but later comes around to the idea. Billy shows Dan how he work the train, Dan also sees that Billy has the shining. On Dan’s second day of working at Teenytown, they had to take tarps off the kid rides and put them back on. They talk about how tired they are. A couple days later, Billy waits for Dan to come back from the store while they prepare for work. Dan goes home after his shift. The next day, Billy sees that Dan bought alcohol (even after saying he doesn’t drink) and stops him. They are best buddies and hang out a lot.

In 2011, while at Teenytown, Dan comes with the coffee Billy likes but Dan drops it after he sees death flies on Billy. Dan asks him if he’s alright. He says yes (even though he isn’t). Dan and Billy go to see Casey. Billy tells Casey that Dan told him that his blood pressure was high in 2006, which meant he was not right. Casey thinks Dan has many talents, Casey tells them to see John Dalton, a pediatrician and friend of Dan’s. Dan calls John and John calls Greg Fellerton. Dan takes Billy to Greg, where they find out that Billy has a bulge in his aorta and it could be a tumor. Couple days later, they take Billy to a hospital. Later, Dan calls John.

In summer 2012, Billy once saw a kid have a stop sign that says TMI was on it instead of STOP. The kid would give Billy a sympathetic smile.

#### Main Events

One day in 2013, Billy and Dan are once again working at Teenytown. Dan takes the bus. When Dan gets there, he sees Billy smoking a cigarette as he walks to him. Dan asks Billy when he is will retire, Billy says he won’t and that he has to put Azzie in the barn. Before Billy leaves, Dan asks Billy how much he smokes. Billy barely smokes. As Billy asks Dan if he wants to get coffee, Dan blacks out, leaving Billy thinking Dan is having a stroke (Dan had a Shining blast) and tries to call 911 but Dan then wakes up and tells him to stop. Billy asks "Who’s Tony?" as Dan was saying that name. Dan says he was an old friend but Billy doesn’t believe him. Billy tells Dan to go home, which he does.

On September 22, Teenytown has a party. Among the guests are John, Dan, Billy, and others. After Dan talks to John, he talks to Billy to say that friends being family are more likely to happen. John comes up to Dan and Billy to say that he doesn’t want to go to Iowa but Dan still has his attention on Billy and pulls out a medallion from Rivington. Since Billy guessed what it was, John tells Billy how he's so good at guessing. When John says he has an appointment with a kid with stomach cancers parents on Saturday, Dan says he’ll have him back by Thursday. Dan mentions Abra Stone to John, he freaks out and knew his mind was read. The three of them hold hands. Dan talks to John about Abra with Billy watching. After that, John decides to go with Dan and Billy.
