She and the same group of friends made plans to go out. It was Halloween and Julie said everyone was going to be out tonight. It was a-must that they did something. Susan wanted Beth to stay home and hand out candy with her as they did every year. Beth had always enjoyed giving candy to the cute little kids, but she begged to be able to go. Susan sadly relented and even agreed to allow Beth to stay out until midnight. Beth felt a little guilty, but she left with the girls anyway. At one point, they passed Jesse while he had stopped to get gas. Beth made Julie turn around so she could show them who he was. She wanted to show him off—from a distance that is. Beth knew Jesse would not recognize the car. Plus, the windows were tinted and it was dark so she felt safe. They had already started drinking and she absolutely did not want Jesse to know that. They pulled up close enough for every one to get a good look at him. He was dressed in a pair of 501 Levi’s with a snug fitting T-shirt.
