why not
Watching someone play chess was often more fun. It wasn't as engaging and instead acted as background video. What a decent way to make money Pete thought. Could he do it for the rest of his life? Probably not. Nobody could retire inΒ

"we need the good sliverware."
"Ok got it. Wait."
"Yeh."
"You did say good silverware?"
"Yes..."
"Already. So soon?"
"Unfortunately. Three diners."
"Okay. It'll be ready. Tomorrow. Three diners."
The line closed. No word of goodbye. It was all business. He was uneasy. He'd never had to prepare the good silverware this frequently before. If he had to...

When Danny entered the bar silence would commence for a second. People would scuffle around and then things would go back to their normal ways. There was a booth that was reserved for hm. Whenever he wasn't around the bar would only allow friends sit there. They could never eat...

He wished would never grow up.
But in fact he had grown up long ago. Even before dumping the bodies. But this whole situation with Danny Calruso and Blayne had made him realize just how irreversibly changed he had become.
it had actually begun long ago. It was Cindy. His first love....

an argument
as reply to His Arm
Blayne was not stressed about what The Kid thought he was stressed about.
Had gotten rid of plenty bodies in the past. He and Danny had been through some dark times to put it light.
What stressed him was an argument with Danny. The Kid hadn't noticed yet. That Danny and Blayne...

He knew he couldn't trust her. But he could tell that she knew more.
Furthermore... he knew that she knew that he knew. He couldn't push her. If he pushed her too far, she would completely close herself off and then he couldn't get the answers he needed.
Patience was key. Wait...

and the story had to keep going.
Without a story... well her life would fade to black.
As her senses faded, maybe that's why she became more observant.
When she could walk fast. Lift heavy. see far. Hear faint.
Back then she didn't know jack shit what was happening.
Now that everything was darkening. she...

The police arrived roughly 20 minutes later. Maybe even a little sooner. Around 18 minutes if Blake had to guess.
The time went by pretty slow. All he thought about was the incident. Replayed it in his head. By the time the cops arrived he was ready to say what happened.

The man took a deep sigh and walked into his room. He was finally here. After weeks of listening to that awful but catchy tune on the radio while seated at a gas station out in the middle of nowhere. He had come to the source of the sound. By...
