Flesh of My Blood-Chp145

(meanwhile)

Peepers: (was playing with the twins) ^^

Sylvia: [waved at Peepers] (wave) Hey, Pipsqueak

Peepers: (wave) (signs) Hey, hon.

Sylvia: Pipsqueak, meet the one in charge of this plc, Mr... I didnt quite catch ur name

Boss: The name's Ray. So this is ur man, huh?

Sylvia: Yup

Peepers: (signs) Hello to you too, sir. :)

Sylvia: [noticed something] Ray... And Jay? U two related or something?

Boss: I doubt I could be related to that bonehead

Sylvia: (giggle)

Jay: (arrived on scene) =3= Hardy har.

Peepers: (chuckle)

Boss: Oh, ur bk. Got the body?

Jay: (nod) Yup.

Boss: [surveyed the area] Hmmm... We might hv to exhume n relocate a couple of bodies here to make room for ur request, bt I think we can manage. Wat do u think, Jay?

Jay: I think we can handle that.

Boss: U don't mind tht, do u, guys?

Sylvia: Ur call, Pipsqueak

Peepers: (signs) Do what you gotta do.

Boss: (nod) Arrange for the digging trucks, Jay, n locate a few empty spots in the area. We got bodies to relocate

Sylvia: Wow, I guess that's how it is for a community cemetery. If it were a regular cemetery, u would be sued

Boss: That's wat this place is, I'm afraid. A resting place for those who don't hv anyone to put them to rest to

Sylvia: Wait. U sure u wanna do this, Pipsqueak? Ur her living relative now. Maybe u could relocate ur mom to a regular cemetery instead, like an upgrade

Peepers: (signs) Would that be possible?

Boss: Well, it would make our job easier to just exhume one grave instead of a few. Nearest regular cemetery is abt a few miles away from here tho, n I'm not sure if they hv room

Peepers: (think) ... (nod)

Boss: Alright, I'll go make some calls. Jay, change of plan. Just get the truck to dig out Orb's body [took out his phone n made the calls]

Jay: (nod) Yes, boss.

[it took quite a while, a lot of phone calls on Ray's part n Sylvia promising to pay a good sum, bt all in all, they managed to secure two side-to-side plots at a regular cemetery abt 5 miles away frm the community cemetery]

Peepers: :)

[the bodies were transported to the regular cemetery n now they r ready to bury them]

Sylvia: Thanks for the help, Ray

Boss: No problem. I'll leave u guys to it. My friend here will help u out with the rest. It's their show now (wave) [left with Jay]

Peepers: (wave)

Sylvia: [waved to them n turned to the person in charge] Thanks for accommodating us, Ms...?

???: :) Gidget.

Sylvia: Right, Ms Gidget. I hope we're not inconvenienced u or anything

Gidget: No, not at all.

Peepers: (think)

Sylvia: Let's get started now, shall we?

Gidget: (nod) Of course.

Peepers: :)

[they made their way to the grave site, where there were men ready to lower the coffins of Orb n Vision]

Peepers: (sees the tombstones) ... :(

Sylvia: [puts her hand on his shoulder to comfort him]

Peepers: (leans into her)

Gidget: You know what to do, boys.

Workers: (nod) [started lowering the coffins while singing the ancient galactical burial song]

Sylvia: [hung her head in silence]

Peepers: (does the same)

Workers: [once the coffins were lowered, sang another ancient burial song along with Gidget as they filled the holes]

Peepers: (hugged Sylvia)

[soon the hole was filled, n Vision's tombstone was secured, right nxt to Orb's tombstone tht was exhumed out frm her spot at the community cemetery]

Sylvia: [lay flowers onto the fresh graves]

Peepers: (wiped a few tears) :)

Sylvia: [turns to Gidget] Thank u again for doing this. We reli appreciate it

Gidget: :) Anytime.

Workers: [nodded curtly as they left with Gidget to give the couple some privacy]

Sylvia: So... [heaves a sigh of relief] It's done then...

Peepers: (signs) They're together now...wherever they might be.

Sylvia: Yeah. A sort of closure for ur family now

Peepers: (nod)

Sylvia: U gonna be OK?

Peepers: (signs) Yeah, I'll be okay.

Sylvia: Well, let's chk into our hotel n get some rest, relax a bit, then we can head bk to Congenial Rock wen ur ready. The twins need their beauty rest too

Peepers: (nod)
