Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.
Working on a Hunch
Niall Warburton was dead or so said the Dr. Mix Schrecks, who was descended from Vlad the Impaler and Sun Tzu.
Naturally, his father and friends who were more like father than his brother or mother were saddened but just saying: "saddened" would be putting it lightly.
To one of them however, there was something not right about this. The people at the funeral home kept asking about when they would be paid, so was the priest presiding!
To Ken Finlayson there was something terribly familiar about this… He had read "Ivanhoe"… It was a small part of the much larger Robin Hood mythos… And as he recalled Athelstane had survived the battle of Torquilstone but seemed dead to everyone and the avaricious monks at Coningsburgh had laid the very much alive Athelstane in a coffin just so they could get funeral money.
Robert had a close eye on his brother's open casket… He seemed to know something and standing near him was Schrecks… They were both watching Niall's brother.
Quite a few had their eyes on those two: Randy Cunningham, the Weinerman siblings, Theresa Fowler…
Walking over to Heidi, Ken tapped her on the shoulder. "Pardon me, Heidi, but do you have something that is strong smelling that is not your brother?"
Heidi nodded confused. "Some perfume at home but…"
Ken grabbed Heidi by the arm. Gently, of course! He wanted to date her and grabbing her by the arm roughly would not work out too well! "Excellent, lets go and get it!" He started to lead her to the entrance of the funeral home only for Heidi to stop.
"What? Why?"
"To revive Niall of course!"
Ken had not said that quietly. What little few people there was who were there all turned their heads to look at Ken, the most notable of them being Robert and Dr. Schrecks.
Robert leaned closer to Schrecks. "Watch them!"
