making dave disappear
They held a funeral for Dave. They couldn't risk exposure. The easiest thing to do was say he was dead, hold a funeral, but actually ship him two thousand miles east.
The killer was never found. Or never revealed. The blue group was able to figure out the shooter but they...

Carl waited at the cafe alone for about 20 minutes. Nervous.
He had a lot to tell his supervisor. He had researched at theΒ Westcity publicΒ library all weekend. Old newspapers. And now he had a thesis. But then ten minutes past. His coffee cup was empty. He wanted another, but...

private key
as reply to Waiting
"Is there a way to get the money from Jesse's account?"
"Only if we find her private key ."
"Any chance she hid it someplace obvious. Maybe just in her room? You can get Mrs. Sanders to let us in there? We can make up an excuse."
"We can try."
"You don't sound that...

"Hello?"
"Will?"
"Oh hi mom."
"Why do you sound so--" she stopped. "-- are you coming home?"
"Yeah--"
"I mean you don't need to of course. You're an adult. But we were wondering. We'll keep the lights on if you are planning to."
"I'll be home soon."
Will shut the phone off and stared at it. Waiting...

too late
as reply to The Hill
Then it suddenly hit him. The thought. Why were the tires still pumped? He hadn't been back in over a year. No way his old man was riding this. And his mom? Forget it. So who? Or how?

In a jar he kept the hair. It belonged to Jesse. When they lived together they did this thing. Where they would grow aΒ

as reply to The Carter
"Good to be back here."
"Is it?"
"Not really. Kind of uncomfortable actually."
"What about it?"
"Nothing about it. Just the fact that it's now. Time passes so fast. Well I should go. Thanks for showing me the old place again."
"Yes. You should come over sometime. If you're in town that is."
Will told her...

small talk can only get you so far
as reply to Thats how it always is
What the hell are you apologizing for?
Will took a breath then told the gas station clerk, you're right. I didn't do anything wrong.
Exactly! The world is always trying to put all the blame on the little guys. Like I can guarantee you that my boss and his boss is going...
