Maggie and Billy had quickly become close friends after Callie had given birth to Serenity. Maggie had an affinity for babies and Serenity was cute as...far as babies went. For the first two weeks after the child was born Maggie had pawned off all of her chores except kitchen duty to spend with new mother and baby.Maggie and Callie had been civil before but became the best of friends after a short time. Billy and Callie hadn't been the closest of siblings prior to the baby being born, but Billy. Jemma stands in his way. He stops, and she says, “Jess, Ann. Go with Mack to help carry the rabbits.” She looks at him, “Bring us back lots.” He nods yes and leads the two girls out of the house. The women move outside and watch him walk toward the forest. “I doubt he would’ve done anything stupid. But I know he won’t now. Not with the girls along.” Some women nod agreement at her concern and planning.Ma Hanson walks out to say, “The doctor is on his way out. He’ll write the death certificate. She didn’t look all that put together it the harsh light of day and with zero makeup.“Good morning boss,” I said with a smile. I enjoy the discomfort of her morning look.“Is that sarcasm I note not in your voice partner?” She managed to sound almost pleasant. “Let’s get a move on.”The walk was enjoyable. The temperature hadn’t climbed yet, at least not enough to be noticeable. It was just a typical early summer morning. Since the area was zoned highway business, we had to pay a lot of attention. Pretty painful. Pretty much her fault, and it pretty much destroyed him. She ‘traded up’, taking off with a banker. Tried to rape him in the divorce. Had everything pre-prepared, sign here, sign here, initial this. I’m being fair honey, just sign. Bob says it’s very fair. He’ll get it notarized, just sign. Benny was quiet, and people assumed because he didn’t talk much, he didn’t think much. He thanked her for trying to help, turned around, and beat the hell out of Bob. He dragged him out of.
