We walked around our estate, just looking at things. I was glad to see Carl out on the new mower. We'd debated long and hard about what we needed in o...der to mow the amount of yard we had. We finally found a small used Farmall with a mower attachment, a plow, and a drag. It was a small single-bottom plow, but we were only going to use it to mow and garden. It would have taken forever if we'd just gotten a rotary tiller. He and Doug were all about learning to use the machinery and had the garden. Tease me about girls, tell me how cute I was, or ask me why I didn’t have a girlfriend. I just brushed all this off as friendly chatter. One day after school I was sent to her house to do some work. It was nothing unusual. I did a little yard work, and was organizing things in the garage when she came out and asked me if I would hang a shower curtain for her. This wasn’t unusual either. She often asked me to do simple things around the house for her. When we got to the bathroom I could see why. Guns on a high school campus were a sure ticket to jail, and Archie could do nothing to help Horsey with that kind of trouble.Horsey left to get a beer from the refrigerator and to dream about the revenge he would take on Bill Anderson and the two girls. The best idea he could come up with was for the girls to be gang-raped in all three holes while Anderson was forced to watch. Once that was done, he was going to burn Anderson's balls off. Horsey actually dozed off with that thought going. "If it makes you feel better, I almost feel guilty about how well it is going." David did not feel any better. Storm clouds were gathering on the horizon, thunder rumbling in the distance. Inside the main building, Mark had peeled off his dive suit and was scrubbing himself down thoroughly in the shower room. Juliana had assured him that he'd be fine, so long as he washed off with shampoo and dish soap. But he wasn't feeling great, he felt dizzy and hot. Really hot in fact. He had already.
