Deaundre "Double D" Davis is a major character from the movie Jeepers Creepers 2. He is a member of the Bannon Bantams high school basketball team riding the bus on the way home from winning the state championship. He is also the one of the Creeper's primary targets and was a constant rival to his teammate Scott Braddock.
Jeepers Creepers 2[]
Double D is first seen along with his teammates singing and celebrating on the bus for winning the state championship. They hoist their victory at a truck, with a bug on top, that overtakes them. The celebration comes to a halt when one of the back tire bursts to shreds and alarms everyone, causing Betty to stop the bus. It seems there was a grudge between Double D and Scotty, as they exchange vile words from time to time, notably with Scotty calling out D playing so terribly that he should change the tire as punishment. D just simply flicks him off. They are briefed from the radio about the old church burning south of Pertwilla County and the discovery of the wall-to-wall incomplete body covered cavern beneath the church. However Double D does not hear more about this, and he and the others go outside to enjoy the sun. In the middle of their relaxing, Double D gets amused when his best friend, Big K, is scared by a flock of crows while urinating, unbeknown to them that the Creeper was swiftly flying above him trying to sniff him. Then they all get back in the bus and "limp" on home.
Later on, at night as everybody is asleep while Betty is driving, he overhears Scotty talking with his girlfriend Rhonda, getting furious about not playing enough in their match and saying those who gotten to play weren't the reason for getting into the championship and that the coach is using the race card to decide who plays more. D, being black and already being at odds with Scotty, thinks Scotty is talking about him, but then gets shouted at for eavesdropping. Double D tries to get some sleep, when the only back tire keeping them moving, meets a similar end like its twin, causing the bus to disable permanently. They are told to exit the bus, just as Coach Charlie Hanna runs ahead to speak with an approaching driver. As the teens get rounded up on the side of the road, the car moves along, and Charlie begins to set the flares from Betty's lock box, moving slowly away from the teens, Betty and Assistant Coach Dwayne Barnes. Suddenly, they hear Charlie screaming in the night sky, and a flare drops down to where he had been standing seconds ago. Double D begins calling for Charlie, and the other teens begin to follow his lead. Betty, after examining another throwing star similar to the one that hit the tire the first time, orders them all to enter the bus as she feels something frightening is happening, and team manager Andy "Bucky" Buck heads to the radio to call for help. Then suddenly Betty meets the same fate as Charlie, as she is lifted into the sky. Only Jake spots the swift movement but fails to see what took Betty. Panic begins to set in, especially when Jake thinks Betty flew away, making Scotty furious and leading to a heated argument between him and Barnes, who is then standing by the door. Then two black tough talons hook him on the shoulders and begin to lift him off the ground. Luckily this time Scotty was close enough to grab the last coach's legs. Double D comes forward to help, but the coach is lifted regardless of Scotty pulling him down with all his strength. Quickly they all barricade themselves in the bus. Double D requests to know what Scotty saw above the coach. Scotty angrily tells them he does not know, only that whatever took Dwayne had big wings.
Bucky is still trying to patch through for help on the radio, while everyone else's phones don't seem to work. Dante, one of the teens, finds Betty's flare gun, and Izzy finds javelins to use as weapons against whatever took the coaches, but gets rebuked by Scotty, who thought it wise to head in the open to find a farm he suspected to be somewhere in the valley. The others think this to be disastrous as that thing that took the coaches could still be outside somewhere. The argument gets heated to the point where Scotty to make gay slurs towards Izzy then pins Izzy in anger after he shoots insults back at Scotty, forcing Double D to step in. Scotty begins to threaten Double D then calls him bro. By Scotty's tone and gesture, Double D accuses and believes Scotty is thinking about calling him a slur for being black. But their standoff is interrupted by Rhonda who lectures them about needing to be a team like they were for the basketball game for this serious situation. However, things quiet down as Minxie backs into them appearing terrified and fleeing from the front row to hide. They all go to investigate, when they see a slimy head, with a hat on, sniffing the door. They all hide in between the rows, but the stranger scales the bus and sniffs the windows. He detects and sniffs out Jake hiding just beneath him, glaring intently at Jake before climbing above the bus. Scotty furiously asks Bucky to drive the bus on its rim, however it is as impossible as it sounds. They all look to the emergency exit, and the monster looks at them while hanging upside-down. He winks an eye at Dante, then smiles at Scotty, who moves out of the way for Minxie, who gets smiled at also. She moves out of the way for Bucky, who gets a bang signal. Bucky steps aside for Big K, but the stranger signals him to step aside without much interest, and ends up staring at Double D, who shows a clearly horrified face compared to the others. The silly mocking face he had for the others suddenly changes to a serious stern look, as if he had found something rare In Double D. The stranger takes a deep sniff and licks the window. Then he shakes the bus, jamming the exit in the process, and takes off. They all sigh in relief, but Minxie passes out in Scotty's arms, and her eyes roll completely back.
Moments later, Minxie regains consciousness after worrying everyone about her. Jake suggests the thing to be gone, but everyone wonders what it was doing. Minxie tells them it had picked them out. She tells them the information she had just got from a dead boy in her dream, while Scotty claimed she had been smoking during the day. D continues to listen with everyone as Minxie tells them about the The Creeper, a demon that comes out of the earth on every twenty-third spring, and for twenty-three days it gets to eat. She strongly tells them that no matter what happens, the Creeper will find all those it picked, and from them it will eat, and this is its last night before hibernation. Double D finds himself a prime target as it picked him out differently from the rest. Bucky quickly retreats to the radio and tries to call for help again.
In a lucky break, Bucky patches through to someone who is already on the East 9 Highway. He promises to call the cops and urges them to hang on. They all cheer for Bucky, but the celebration is cut short as the Creeper's hand tears the roof and grabs Bucky's head. Everyone falls back, and the Creeper begins to pull Bucky upward through the hole. Double D and Big K rush forward to keep Bucky from being pulled away, buying time for Rhonda to pick a javelin and puncture a hole through the roof and through the Creeper's shoulder. The Creeper tries one more time to pull Bucky through the hole with brute strength, but Rhonda shoves the javelin just near the hole, causing the Creeper to let go of Bucky. They see the struggle the Creeper goes through to get the javelin out of his eye, which he manages to in the end. Double D sneaks under the hole to investigate and finds Rhonda has thrusted the javelin to force the Creeper to rip half it's head off. He watches the Creeper stagger, and taking off momentarily, vanishing into the night. Then seconds later they hear a wind above the bus, which get louder and louder. Then the Creeper crashes over the bus, shattering all the windows save the emergency exit, windshield, and front door windows. They see one of the Creeper's wings at the window, prompting Izzy to peek through the hole the Creeper had made previously and finds the Creeper passed out over the roof.
They take this as a chance to open the doors and flee, but none of them open, including the emergency exit, which Izzy shows the Creeper deliberately jammed it to trap them in the bus. The roof tears apart, and one of the wings slides in and hangs across the bus, separating the teens into two groups. As the teens at the rear of the bus cross under the wing, Double D leaps over the stools, suspecting a trap, and rightly so, the Creeper's wing swiftly and cunningly hoods over Dante's torso when he boasted about how light the wing was, and begins to ensnare him out through the hole. Double D and Izzy pull Dante's body back in, only to find it beheaded and watch his body flail before collapsing on the bus floor. They hear crunching noises on the roof, and Double D takes the flare gun from Dante's corpse as the Creeper eats Dante's head. Then the Creeper takes flight seconds later with Dante's head forming into its own hideous one.
Scotty then succeeds in opening the doors and orders all those that the Creeper picked out to leave the bus to save those that were not chosen, including Double D due to the gesture the Creeper made for his desire for D. Double D pins Scotty down and reminds him that he (Scotty) was picked out as well. He challenges Scotty to stay on the bus, now with the big hole left behind by the Creeper while D leaves to find the farm, to which everyone follows. Double D leaves the bus with the rest of the teens following him, including Rhonda. Scotty gets off the bus to chases after Rhonda to stay in the bus with him. Everyone listens as Rhonda yells Scotty for his selfishness, but Izzy suddenly points up at the moon, and they all see the Creeper watching them from high up. They all race back to the bus, but Jonny Young was the only student to remain on the bus and closed the doors refusing to let anyone in, leading the Creeper to chase them into the open.
As they run, Jake is struck on the head by one of the Creeper's shuriken, killing him instantly. Then the Creeper flies lower into the teens, trying to snatch Double D, who luckily trips and falls, making The Creeper angry as it misses him. As Double D is getting back up, he looks ahead and sees Izzy and Rhonda struggling to help Scotty pinned at a lone tree by the Creeper's dagger. He rushes to help them and pull the knife, but Scotty's constant unsteadiness makes it difficult. Double D and Scotty spot the Creeper swiftly flying towards them. Scotty now terrified becomes remorseful for his and D's previous exchange, cries out an apology to D and begs him to help. He asks Rhonda and Izzy hold Scotty still, while he furiously pulls the knife from the tree. He manages to pull it, but The Creeper plunges at them and takes Scotty into the night, leaving Rhonda tearfully screaming her boyfriend's name while Izzy tries to comfort her. Double D also stares in disbelief that his long-time rival was gone.
Double D and Rhonda sit in silence and mopes while Izzy heads out to investigate the valley. They suddenly hear someone shouting far away and senses the Creeper swooping around, but do not make much of it. Izzy comes back saying he found a way to escape, but Double D and Rhonda think it was all hopeless. Izzy states that Minxie's visions should not guarantee their death and that the others may have been able to get away or get help, including D's best friend, Kimball. They all head out to find a car that Izzy remembers as the truck with the bug on top that passed them earlier that morning, but Double D does not think whoever was driving it made it. They find there are keys already in its ignition. As they try to get in, the Creeper flies in front of the moon, which was a signal that they had been found. Izzy and Rhonda get in the front, while Double D hops in the back. Izzy races away, but Double D watches in horror as The Creeper outmatches the car's speed with ease and prompts Izzy to drive faster. The Creeper lunges in to catch Double D, who fires a flare lightly fazing the Creeper. The Creeper comes back again, Izzy realizes he cannot outrun the Creeper decides to steer off the road. The Creeper moves ever closer, now intent on claiming its prize. Double D watches in horror as The Creeper flies through the car, which flips forward and throws him (Double D) into the distance, where he badly injures his foot, bloodied up, and is out cold.
The Creeper finds Double D
Seconds later he wakes up to find he cannot walk. He crawls back to the wreckage but comes across The Creeper's wing. He sees the truck explodes, which alarms him and the Creeper as well. Then the Creeper begins to sniff the air, quickly catching Double D's scent. The Creeper begins to look around, and almost catches a sight of Double D, but he ducks in time. He finds Betty's flare gun, takes it and crawls away. He stops to survey his surroundings. Then suddenly he sees The Creeper hopping towards him with unbelievable agility for its condition with missing one arm, leg and wing. Double D himself begins to crawl with all haste from the demon. However, The Creeper catches up and waits behind some of the bushes, while Double D aims the flare gun in that direction. The Creeper jumps from behind the bushes at Double D, who fires the flare gun but misses. The Creeper pins him down, holding down the hand with the flare gun, and tries to begin eating, but Double D holds it back by its throat, putting enough pressure for The Creeper to gasp in agony. The Creeper opens its hood to scare and intimidate D to let go, but Double D continues to holds The Creeper back. However, the Creeper continues to push through being stronger and almost ready to eat him. But in the nick of time, the Creeper gets distracted by Mac's barking, only to look up and get harpooned to the head by Jack Taggart Sr., toppling him backward, saving Double D.
Double D looks back to see Jonny, Minxie, Bucky, Chelsea, and two Taggarts, whom he doesn't know. Minxie rushes to Double D's side as the Jack Sr. rushes to The Creeper and stabs it multiple times. D is last seen being tended to by Minxie, who tells Jack Sr. that the Creeper is not dead, only that its time ran out. D ultimately survives the night; it is unknown what became of him in the aftermath.
Trivia[]
- Double D was the last person to be picked out by the Creeper and almost the last person to almost die at the Creeper's hands
- Scotty's rivalry with Double D is implied to be racially motivated due to D being allowed to play in the basketball championship compared to Scotty due to D being black.
- He appears more skinny at the beginning of the film, almost looking like a different person at the end. He looks "meatier", so some mistake him for Big K.
- Double D's best friend is Kimball "Big K" Ward and was noticed to be ready to back D up. This was twice demonstrated:
- When D was confronting Scott for attacking Izzy and being ready to call D a slur, Big K gets up to which D quickly respond for him to sit.
- When D declares he will get off the bus and go find the farm, Kimball quickly is the first to says he is going with him and when Scotty tries to apologize to D, Big K tells Scotty off saying "you so right about that."
