My Cousin, Frankenstein

Chapter 3
I walked through the cemetery gate. I looked around, but couldn't spot Victoria. Then out of no where, she sneaked up behind me and told me to keep quiet and follow her. So I did, not knowing what she was up to.
She then led me to some bushes, where we hid. We peeked through the bushes, and saw a grieving family surrounding a coffin that was being lowered into the ground. The family then bowed their heads in respect, and one by one, they left.
Victoria then said, "Let's go!" She pulled me, and we ran towards the grave. "OK, let's start!" she said jumping into the hole. She tried opening the coffin, then looked up at me, "Hello, a little help?"
"Oh my God... no."
"Diiiiib! Don't do this to me! Come on!"
I sighed, maybe she just wanted to look at the stupid body... so I climbed down, and helped her open it up.
"OK, now help me get this guy out."
"What?"
"You heard me!"
"Victoria, no!"
"Jeez, Dib! Fine I'll do it myself!" she then struggled to remove the body, "Damnit!"
I looked around, then at her. I saw she would not leave until she did what she wanted to do. I then gave up, "Ugh! OK!" I then helped her remove the body, and carried it home.
We dumped the body on the floor of her room, "Man, I can't believe this!" I said, "I'm gonna go wash my hands."
"No way. Your job's not done. Help me stick this guy in the closet. Then tomorrow, we are going to the old tower and--"
"What?! Tomorrow!? You are actually gonna sleep with that thing in your closet?!"
"Oh, don't be such a wuss! And don't you dare rat me out! I'm trusting you Dib!"
I frowned, "This is crazy."
"This is science." She looked me in the eyes, and placed her hands on my shoulders, "Well Dib, can I trust you?"
I sighed, "OK, but if that thing isn't out of this house by the end of tomorrow... you can count on me telling your dad."
"Thanks Dib. Now get some rest... tomorrow will be even better."
