6 AM and he was out the door. Unlike some people in this town, like Mo, he had work to do. He left a glass full of milky water in the sink and some toast crumbs to prove he had left or even been there that morning. On the calender was a small note: [i]Sat, G.Y.6-9[/i]

Out at the graveyard, Chuck was using a [url=http://www.motherearthnews.com/~/media/Images/MEN/Editorial/Articles/Online%20Articles/2009/08-01/How%20to%20Maintain%20Push%20Reel%20Mowers/Reel-Mower2-500px.jpg]push mower[/url] to clear away the lawns. Oh sure, there was a noisy gas monstrosity in the shed but he liked the quiet peace of the crisp morning and he didn't want to disturb the dead. Usually the weekends were when most came to visit their families out here, either saturday afternoon or sunday after church. It always struck him odd that the hospital was so close to the yard but the church was so far away. Clinically it made sense to dump the dead right outside, but the superstitious part of him pondered where holy ground started and ended. 

This train of thought started to drift to Clementine. Her plot, provided by the hospital as she was the wife of an employee, was always the last one he cleaned off as he had his confessional/communion with her. He sat down in the grass then propped himself up against her toombstone as he cracked open a bottle and had himself a long slow swig. 

[color=f7941d]"I had to drive to the next county for these, there is just something about coke from a glass bottle. Vicky got a B in math, did you know they are doing stuff now as freshman we did as seniors? I ain't seen her looking at anyone in particular yet, but I ain't seen anyone looking at her in a good way either. Its my fault, last kid who liked her was a wrestling fan, he just wanted some credit for dating 'the undertakers' daughter. He'd have been better off watching monster trucks... I need a new job, I need to get this graveyard off of her name. She needs to be more than the gravediggers daughter... I saw mo last night, she was heading to her hotel with some guy who blew his radiator yesterday, he'll probably be here till monday waiting for the new piece. Jeb will probably get me to ride out for the radiator today, I'll grab some more cokes then. I'm gonna grab a shower and go to jebs now, I'll get Vicky something while i'm out. Love ya darling,"

He wiped the tears from his eyes and headed to the house just in time to see the sherrif truck. His heart hit his stomach as he started jogging up the path. "Please don't be Mo, Please don't be Mo, Please don't be Mo." He came around the lip just to see vicky, the sheriff and his sister all present. [color=f7941d]"Alright officer, what did she do? Steal cookies and milk, cheat on a test?"[/color] His tone was the same when he bailed out his sister, but the words were clearly aimed elsewhere.
