Trey Jimenez is a recurring character in Goosebumps: The Vanishing. He is portrayed by Stony Blyden.
Trey is a Brooklyn local and thinks more often with his ego than his brain. Feeling threatened by Devin's friendship with Frankie, Trey challenges him to go into an abandoned military site where four teens disappeared decades earlier.
History[]
Trey had an on-going conflict with Anthony Brewer, who had moved into his mother, Naomi's, house after putting his mother in a nursing home. Trey had an arrangement with Naomi that he could park his car in her driveway, because she didn't have a car. When Anthony moved in, he told Trey he couldn't park there anymore, but Trey continued to do so anyway.
Trey came to the park to meet up with some friends when he met Anthony's children, Cece and Devin. Trey was not pleased to learn that Devin went way back with Frankie Garcia Bravo, Trey's girlfriend. Later, C.J. Lewis asked Cece and Devin the true story of what happened to their uncle, Matty Brewer. Cece didn't want to tell them, but Devin said he and some friends went to spend the night in Fort Jerome on a dare and disappeared. Frankie asked if he wasn't scared of Fort Jerome. When he said he wasn't, Trey challenged him to prove it.
They drove to Fort Jerome, where Trey cut the gate lock with bolt cutters, then sent Devin inside to take pictures. Trey revealed that he knew a lot of the place's history because his father was interviewed for a 20/20 episode about the disappearance. While Devin was inside, Trey got annoyed by Cece talking to Frankie about Frankie being Devin's first kiss and used the bolt cutters to damage a transformer, cutting the power to the building. Devin finally stumbled out with Cece's help and they rushed to leave.[2]
Trey was at his father's garage and ignoring his father, who was trying to show Trey how to do something on a car. Trey insisted he knew what he was doing, but Joe Jr. reminded him he always had to clean up his messes. Trey said he was learning business in his college classes so that he could improve his father's business, which would be good for all of them. Their conversation was interrupted when Frankie arrived. She told him she was angry at him for the night at Fort Jerome and she couldn't be with him anymore. Trey tried to stop her from dumping him, but she said they were done.
Trey bought a stuffed animal and went to Frankie's workplace to try to make things right with her, but he saw her hugging Devin, so he threw the stuffed animal away and left.
Later, Trey went to Devin's house to confront him, telling him to stay away from Frankie. This led to a fight, which Frankie broke up. When Anthony came home, he saw Trey's car in his driveway. Tired of dealing with it, he took a shovel and broke out one of Trey's windows. Trey agreed to move the car when Anthony threatened to break another.
Wanting to get revenge on Anthony and Devin, Trey went to their house to break in. Frankie tried to stop him, but he ignored her and broke the basement window. He went inside, where he knocked several plants off shelves and then knocked an entire shelf over. When he finished, he took some pictures of himself in front of the damage he'd caused. He was surprised when the chest freezer in front of him opened and then pulled him inside.
Trey emerged as a creature covered in the same goo that covered Devin's face after being in Fort Jerome. He went to his father's garage, where he found a tool and gave it to Frankie to try to scrape the stuff off. It didn't work and when Devin arrived, they got into another physical fight. Frankie stopped it by dropping a car on Trey, which caused him to splat. However, he quickly recomposed and was able to start his own car and magically repair the driver's side window.[1]
Trey continued to control his car as Alex stole it and used it to confront Murph. Trey forced her to drive faster and eventually drove her toward a cliff. She managed to get out just before he drove it off the cliff. Trey then appeared in Fort Jerome, where Anthony found him.[3]
Trey ended up in the hospital, where he was awake, but not responding to anyone or anything. Frankie and Devin came to visit him and Jen and Anthony came to question him, but he was unable to talk to them. Ramona Pamani also came to see him, pretending to be his doctor, and examined him. When Trey finally started speaking again, he told them the last thing he remembered was being outside Devin's house and talking to Frankie. After that, he didn't remember anything.[4]
Trey was released from the hospital and went home, where he told Frankie he realized how awful he'd been to her and he wanted to do better. When she asked him about the last thing he remembered, he said he didn't know, but knew it had something to do with Anthony's freezer. Frankie called Devin, saying they wanted to get into the basement. They went over and arrived just in time to see Anthony trying to drip black goo into C.J.'s mouth. Trey stopped him by hitting him with a bat and they were all horrified when Anthony's head popped off. When Anthony said they could join them, they ran upstairs and barricaded the door. C.J. then noticed a tape on the table and said that's what Jen dropped off. Frankie recognized it as a VHS tape and Devin said they could play it at Grandma's. They left to go there and met up with Alex along the way. Just as she joined them, Devin broke off from the group, saying he needed to get back to Hannah because he believe she could help them. They continued on without him.[5]
When they got to Naomi's nursing home, C.J. hooked up the player and played the tape. The watched as Matty and his friends planned their trip. Alex was horrified to watch her mom steal a new student's clothes because she was jealous of the girl talking to Matty. They kept watching as the teens went to Fort Jerome and ended up doing a hole. The camera focused on Hannah, who woke up and found her friends encased in pods. As Hannah tried to escape, a monster dragged her back into the hole right before Anthony and Jen arrived. Anthony saw the clothes and went to call the police while Jen grabbed the camera. While the teens watched, Devin went to Camp Nightmare with Hannah. They connected the name to Hannah from the video and when Devin didn't answer their phone call, they went out to Fort Jerome, where they found Devin standing on the ledge. He believed Hannah was standing there, telling him he needed to go with her to find the others. Cece was able to get through to him and convince him Hannah wasn't real. Then they got him back away from the ledge and decided to go back to Cece and Devin's to talk to whatever was inhabiting their dad. On their way, Trey checked on Devin and apologized, saying he felt like he'd started everything. Then he said no matter what happened between Devin and Frankie, he wouldn't be a jerk about it. When they got to the house, Cece and Devin left the others outside while they went in. After searching the house, they came back and said Anthony wasn't there. Devin pulled up the footage from the doorbell camera and they watched Ramona Pamani come into the house and leave with a suitcase. They wondered where she'd taken him.[6]
The teens met again at Cece and Devin's house. Trey brought the tape of the 20/20 episode his dad participated in, which showed Ramona talking about them getting swept out to sea by fast-moving currents. With her name, they looked her up. They found nothing, but found an Avi Pamani, who had written a book about global risk management. While Alex, Cece, and C.J. went to try to track down the book, Frankie, Devin and Trey went to the hospital to see if they could figure out anything about her from there. There, they learned that his chart said a pediatric dermatologist had treated him, but that doctor had had her badge stolen. They looked at security footage, which showed Ramona in Trey's room and then leaving the hospital and getting into a car. They got her license plate and Trey used it to get her address. They got there just as she was leaving and Trey used his bolt cutters to get them inside, where they found a book detailing 55 years of research dedicated to containing the threat at Fort Jerome. Ramona found them and told them to leave. They explained what they knew and she agreed to help them save Anthony, but said they had to leave quickly because they didn't have a lot of time.[7]
Ramona went with the teens to Fort Jerome, where she injected them all with the serum, which she said would last an hour and sent them down the hatch with an extra dose for Anthony. She opened the hatch and said she'd keep it open from outside. However, when they got down, she closed it behind them, trapping them. Despite this, they decided to stick to the plan. They found Anthony and injected his pod with the serum, freeing him and waking him up. Anthony looked at Matty's pod and wanted to take him as well, but the teens told him they only had one dose of the serum and they'd used it on him. They started to think about ways they could get out. Anthony realized that since a power outage had opened the hatch on the night Devin was first there, it would again. They made a plan to do the same again, using Trey's knowledge from his electrical engineering class. Since the serum had worn off for all of them, Anthony put on a protective suit and disabled the ship while they worked. Once it was done, Trey cut the power and they walked back through the room to get out. Anthony had to stay while they escaped because the connection had broken and he had to hold the cord himself. He said he'd come once they were safe. They got out and waited for Anthony. Trey noticed another backup generator was powering up. Just as it was about to power up, Anthony appeared with Sameer, Matty, Nicole, and Hannah, having decided he couldn't leave them behind. They got out just before the hatch closed, then took the teens back to Anthony's place, where Anthony told them to stay put. When the 1994 teens got stir crazy, the 2024 teens decided to let them go out individually with chaperones. Matty agreed to stay behind while the other three went out. Trey and Frankie took Nicole to the coffee shop to get coffee. While they were there, Nicole coughed up a pod that encased her and turned her into a critter that attacked Trey and podded him. He was freed when Jen and Anthony went back to Fort Jerome and let the ship go, which called all the critters back to the ship. The 1994 teens and the scientists who had worked in the facility all went back to space with the aliens. At the end of summer, the teens came together to say goodbye to Devin and Cece, who were going back to the city to meet their mom. While Cece was going to stay, Devin had arranged to come back to Gravesend to live with his dad. After seeing them off, Trey went home. As he stepped onto his porch, he coughed up something black and decided that wasn't good.[8]
