"Yes, it's hard to believe isn't it?" Drew said. "I really think I should call him and go into see him before we get to excited," Dave said. "Yes sure...you have to be happy with everything. But what are you going to say if the deal is to good to resist?" Drew asked. "Well I'd like to have at trial period to make sure it is going to suit me. And it is also up to you.

I want to let the dogs know that I was here." I scrambled up the steep sides of the hill but about fifty feet from the shore. With one hand on a rock I pissed on the wall in front of me then climbed down. Once back in the boat, I paddled further into the lake.The dogs had been led by hand now and they ran around to find a scent. Back in the centre of the lake I heard the loud baying of the dogs and a single. I couldn’t blame Mom for crying. There was a terrible feeling of sadness and desolation all around those dead harpies. Suddenly, the bodies of the harpies that had been killed by Sam before we showed up began to burst and disappear in a puff of black smoke.I asked Sam about calling for the county coroner, but was told to forget it. Sam had already radioed a call and had been told that he could forget it. The coroner’s office was already overloaded, and we were going to have to handle this.
