Let's continue shall we?

First:

Disclaimer: I do not own Tuck Everlasting. It is a wonderful story. I would have been nice to write it. But I did not. So don't sue me. I am just a fan with an ACTIVE imagination.

Thank-you

Let the show begin!

The research was amazing. Educated people had so many connections. It was amazing. Rich had a key hidden in the false bottom of his desk's first drawer. The key opened the safe and instead of money they found piles and piles of neat booklets and print outs. 'Why had he hid it so much from Winnie?' was the only question swimming in Angus and Tuck's head.

Tuck fished through the papers for anything that caught his eye. Miles read summaries and key points from the booklets.

"Miles, look at this," Tuck calmly stated.

Miles looked up the article talked about how a spring was discovered by a Marley Green Foster long ago. He sold water from the spring to hundreds saying it made them live forever. He was greedy and never sold the real water. He cheated people. And one of his clients died a tragic death. This was all detailed in the article. It said he went into hiding. No one knew where. Some feared he drank the spring himself.

Miles looked up. It was an interesting story indeed, but Miles didn't get it. So what? That was the story of the spring. Now that man, if he was alive, could die at any minute. He was vulnerable and he probably didn't know it.

"So this man is the reason we are in trouble. He could have bulldozed it then. He never saw the pain of the spring. Just like the other Foster we know. Treated it like a toy," Tuck said rising from his seat.

"She didn't use it like a toy. She drank it because she loved Jesse." Miles fought back.

"Then why did she marry that filthy rich greedy businessman?" Tuck questioned.

Miles had no rebuttal. He did not know. "It is time we leave for work."

Walking out the two men saw the happily engaged couple and Mae hugging them.

Tuck looked at her confused.

"They're getting married Tuck! Ain't that wonderful?" Mae turned and greeted them.

"Wonderful. But son how are you going to marry her she is already married. Are you going to kill her husband? Will my son become a killer?" Tuck said.

"Jesse let us go to work." Miles piped in saying.

Winnie's face fell at Tuck's response. Tuck had always been nice to her. But he had the right to be upset. She did not heed to his warning of the spring and she wanted his son to kill another man so she could be happy.

"I'm sorry," Winnie said dropping her head. "I have caused you so much trouble. My parents forced me to marry Rich. It was more of a business deal. I am not like my parents I do not approve of business deals."

Tuck heard the sincerity in her voice. He couldn't be mad at her. She was a sweet little angel when he first met her and still was. He smiled, "Don't worry. It will become better. My son can hit one hella of a punch."

Winnie smiled looking up. Small tears swelling up she hugged Tuck.

I like keeping chapters short and simple. So who is Marley Green Foster? IS he important? Is there something about the spring that is yet to be learned?

How will Richard die?

Is Marley still alive?

When will the marriage be?

This and more. Next time….
