A/N: I know, another short chapter, but I'm posting more than one today.

Conrad Ecklie looked up, confused as the large group crammed into his office. He wasn't entirely sure that he was going to enjoy their visit.

"Can I help you with something?"

Catherine, having the best relationship with Ecklie, had been delegated the one to tell him.

"We're taking our vacation, starting tomorrow."

"One, it's Thursday, I need more notice before anyone takes vacation. Two, who exactly do you mean by 'we'?" He said, looking at the group.

"All of us."

"You've got to be kidding me, I cannot allow an entire shift to be gone at once."

"No, I'm not kidding, we're going. Besides, we've been dead here for weeks, you won't miss us that much."

"If you go, I have the authority to fire all of you."

"Conrad, if you don't think you can handle a few days without us, what makes you think you could function indefinitely?"

"I can assume there's nothing that I could say that will stop you?"

"Just think of it as one of those morale and teamwork-boosting exercises you love so much."

"That's the only way I'm going to be able to justify this to the sheriff."

"Oh don't fret, we'll be back before you know it." Catherine said in a patronizing voice as they all left.

Ecklie continued to stare at the door, trying to understand what had just happened, and how he had been railroaded into agreeing. If he even had, he wasn't too sure.

A/N: Thanks again to those of you who have reviewed!
