Flesh of My Blood-Chp143

[it was a bit of a long trip, abt 30 mins, bt they finally made it to the place]

Sylvia: Wow, all out in the boonies, huh?

Peepers: (nod)

Sylvia: [paid the cab driver n got out with Peepers n the kids] Wow, I can see why they call this community cemetery [looking at all the headstones ard, some not even marked or named]

Peepers: (signs) Hope we find Mother's.

Sylvia: Hope so. That's a lot to scan thru [took over pushing the pram as she started looking]

Peepers: (also looked around)

Sylvia: [navigated the pram ard as she looked abt, trying to keep an eye on those tht r closer to the yr of the incident]

Peepers: (think) ... (spots a grave)

Sylvia: [didn't notice, was still looking at her end]

Peepers: (dusted off the grave) ... (signs) Sylvia!

Sylvia: [looked up to see him] Wats wrong? U found something?

Peepers: (nod)

Sylvia: [pushed the pram n quickly made her way towards him]

Peepers: (dusted off more from the grave)

Sylvia: [leaned in to see the grave headstone]

Headstone: Here lies Orb Watchdog, beloved mother and wife

Sylvia: :O Woah... There she is...

Peepers: (signs) Mother...

Sylvia: [puts her hand on his shoulder in comfort]

Peepers: :(

Sylvia: Guess we knw where she is n where we're gonna bury ur dad with

Peepers: (nods)

Sylvia: U need a minute there, Pipsqueak?

Peepers: ... (signs) I'm sorry, mother... I should've done something...to protect you like you were protecting me... I should've been that sort of son, but I wasn't... :(

Sylvia: [just listened quietly, letting Peepers hv his moment]

Peepers: (signs) But knowing you, you'd forgive me anyhow, and Father as well... Hopefull you both can see each other again, keep an eye on me and my family...

Sylvia: :) [smiling curtly, trying to imagine tht she might be there, watching ovr Peepers]

Peepers: (signs) I'll still miss you Mother, just...take care of Father, and hopefully he'll do the same for you... :)

Sylvia: [put her hand on his shoulder in comfort again] U OK now, Pipsqueak?

Peepers: (nod) (leaned against her)

Sylvia: I'm gonna go look for the person in charge of this plc, see if we can schedule a burial for ur dad here

Peepers: (nod)

Sylvia: [left the pram with Peepers n looked ard to see if there were any office building nearby tht overlook the community cemetery]

???: May I help you, miss?

Sylvia: [jumped a little at the voice behind her] Woah! Who're u?

???: You look like you're looking for someone?

Sylvia: [turned to see tht she was looking at a tall lanky guy in overalls with a wolf skull for a head] Umm.. yeah, I wanna look for the person in charge of this plc

???: For what, exactly? Someone pass away?

Sylvia: Yeah, recently. Its my husband's father. We want to bury him nxt to my husband's mother who's buried here

???: That right? Sorry to hear that.

Sylvia: Yeah, uh... U knw anyone who's in charge? N who r u exactly...?

???: Yeah, I think my boss can help you out. And you can just call me Jay.

Sylvia: OK, uh, Jay... So where IS ur boss?

Jay: You want me to take you to him?

Sylvia: Sure, hang on [waved at Peepers to get his attention] Hey, he's gonna take us to the person in charge! U wanna come or u wanna stay here with the kids?

Peepers: (signs) I'll stay with the children. You go ahead.

Sylvia: [nodded n followed Jay]
