AUTHORS NOTES: All right, this one worked out a little better then the last one. I'm thinking about doing two more in this time, and then jumping ahead for the last jump which will bring us about 80 years ahead of the show! In that time frame all linger questions will be answered!!! I'm getting very excited about seeing the light at the end of this tunnel, because I was originally hoping for this series to be 20 parts, and obviously since I still have at least four parts left I seem to have gone over hehe. I'm really glad that people liking them, and I hope have a new part out soon, but you never know what might pop-up.
Since I got the cat I started to sleep a little better. Sure the cat was not the size of person, but she did make me feel like I wasn't alone in my bed anymore. Colby noticed that I had started move around, and she moved from where she slept, on my feet, going next to my hand purring. I smiled, and began to pet the cat, and she started to purr louder. A moment later the phone rang, I picked it up.
"Hello," I said, still groggy.
"Good morning Peanut, the meeting's at your place today, okay?" asked Rube on the other end.
I didn't have the chance to respond before he hung up the phone. I growled, and put some clothes on before I went downstairs. First I went into the kitchen to put some coffee on. Then I went to the basement to wake Colt, to warn him that everyone was going to be coming over. He got out of bed, and went to go right upstairs with only his boxers on.
"Aren't you getting dressed?" I asked him.
"Yeah, when I leave the house," he explained.
"Colt, there are people coming over, you can't very well hang out in the kitchen in your ratty boxers."
"There not ratty, they're my rockstar boxers."
I looked at them, and wondered why anyone would think that a pair of plaid boxers were rockstar boxers, but there are some questions that are better left unanswered. I rolled my eyes. "Whatever boxers they are, just put a pair of pants over them at least."
"Fine."
I left the room upon hearing the doorbell ring. I went upstairs, and was not surprised to see that Anika was the first person to show up. She sat down at the kitchen table, and looked as if she might know what was going on, the girl sure was good at keeping secrets. I went into the kitchen and poured two cups of coffee, and gave her one.
"Thanks," she said. "I need this."
I smiled. "How are you holding up with the whole Brooke-Lyn thing?"
"Better then can be expected, and I'd probably be pretty fine if I didn't have other things on my mind too."
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"Maybe, but not right today, all right."
"Whatever."
She nodded, and we sat and drank our coffee in silence, Colt came up the stairs, and took a cup of coffee as well, but put some alcohol in it, as he always did in the morning. He sat down with us.
"So what's on the minds of the two most beautiful women I know?" he asked.
We both rolled our eyes, and the three of us sat in silence until Colvin showed up. We didn't talk much when she showed up, just said the routine hi how are you thing, and the returned to sitting in silence. I wonder how it made him feel to realize that no one in his group liked him. Rube showed up last, and a half an hour later the Colvin had. I was rather surprised because Rube tended to always be one of the first, and quiet punctual.
After walking in he went right over to make coffee, and then sat down with the rest of us. "Don't you all look happy," he grumbled.
"You look like a sad sack yourself, there," Colvin commented.
"I have good reason, you probably don't."
Colt shrugged. "Probably not, so are we going to be hearing this good reason or are we just going to sit here all day, and let death take a vacation."
"I'll get to why we've all met here today when I feel like it."
Rube proceeded to hand out our post-its, strangely not giving one to Anika. I decided not to ask about why she didn't have one, because Rube was in a bad mood, even for Rube. We sat, again in silence a few moments. Rube looked as if he was looking for the right words to say something.
When he finally spoke, he started with. "I know that all of you know already what happens when someone takes their last soul. But I'm guessing that none of you know what happens when a group leader takes his last soul."
"You're taking your last soul?" asked Colvin. "Can I be the new group leader?"
"Yes, I'm taking my last soul, no you can't volunteer for my job. At any given time two people in the group are able to take over the position. There are factors which determine which one is the first choice, and which one is the second choice. One the old group leader is replaced, two new people from the group are chosen as the next leader, the second person cannot know that they had been chosen, but the first person knows before everyone else who the picks for new leader are."
"This sounds confusing," Colvin mumbled.
"Will you shut up! Anyway I'm taking my last soul tomorrow, so I need to tell all of you who will be the group leader from now on." He paused, just long enough to piss us all off. "The powers that be have decided that Anika will be the new group leader. I'm sure you're glad to have that secret off your mind, Anika."
"Anika this sucks! Everywhere I've been a group leader is always needed, and I never get to be them!" Colvin complained.
"I'm surprised that people would even want to keep you on a team," Colt grumbled.
I laughed, and Colvin looked pretty pissed off. I was half expecting him to stand up and childishly start a fight. Though he probably knew it wasn't a good idea because he'd loose. We all became silent again, none of us knowing what to say, with the post-its handed up Colt proceeded to his room to get dressed. Anika and Colvin left, leaving Rube and me alone at the table.
"So are you glad to be leaving?" I asked Rube.
"In a way I am, because I'm glad that I'm finally going to be able to move on, but in a way I'm upset too," he explained.
"Why's that?"
"I always thought that I'd be around long enough to see you move on, it would have been like the perfect close to this part of my afterlife."
I gave him a quizzical look. "Why would I do that?"
"Because you were so troublesome when you started, and now you're one of the best reapers on the team."
"I doubt that, Colt is still new he'll need some time, but I'm sure that he'll make a good reaper."
Rube smiled. "I'm going to miss you Peanut."
I nodded. "I'm going to miss you too."
"And here I thought you hated me."
I laughed. "At first I did, but you started to grow on me, besides you are the only person left that was here when I started."
He shrugged. "I guess, so but, not having someone that knows all your rookie secrets might turn out better then you think."
I nodded. "It's going to be strange around here without you."
"You'll get used to it, just like you did when everyone else left."
"Well, kind of."
He shook his head. "You took the whole Daisy and Mason thing a lot better then I would have. You took the Mason thing a lot better then I took with the girl I loved."
"What would freaking out, and not doing anything at all accomplish, I thought about doing that, but that wouldn't bring them back. I miss Mason a lot, and it still hurts a lot, but I have to go on with my life. He would have wanted it that way." "It just took me a lot longer to understand that."
"Everyone deals with things there own way, you should know that."
He nodded. "It's funny everyone that I've seen move on has made this amazing transformation, and then there's me I'm still the same person I was."
"You're different know then from when I met you!"
"How do you figure?"
"Because now you seem to be accepting that there are something that the powers that be do that you simply have no control over."
"I've always known that."
"Yeah, but now you accept that no matter how much you want to you can't change what they decided, and to just go with it."
He nodded. "I never thought about it that way."
"And what was Mason's great transformation?"
"Like you don't know!"
"I have no clue, honestly." I must be really stupid, Mason didn't seem like he much changed.
"Mason was completely clean, no alcohol even, when he moved on. That was thanks to you, Peanut. He would not have been the same person you not been in his life."
"I somehow doubt that."
"It was you that he changed for, he wanted you to love someone who wasn't a screw up. He told me so a few days before he left."
I had started to cry. "Why did you tell me this?"
"Because you needed to know. You, Peanut were the best thing that ever happened to you, before you two started seeing each other he was going to be the next group leader. Then you came along, and helped him to reduce his sentence if you will. He would have been a reaper a much longer time had you not come around."
I shrugged. "And what about me?"
"You're still new at this game."
I shrugged. "I guess so."
"I've been doing this longer then anyone's been alive."
"You're right, I shouldn't be complaining, it could be a lot worse, I could have been the group leader."
"That's what I'm saying. As much as I'd like to stay here and chat with you, Peanut, your appointment is coming up, and you have to get all the way across town in rush hour traffic."
I rolled my eyes, and we both went out the door together. I could hardly believe that it was the last day Rube would be handing me a post it. I wondered who the next person to have been a group leader would have been. I got into the car, and drove to where I had to be. I wondered when and where Rube's last appointment would be. I was not so much worried about who was going to be joining the group, as I knew that Anika would make a really good leader.
When I got to where L. Cavanaugh was going to die, I could not figure out how anyone was going to die. The place was quiet, and peaceful, and there was no one there. I could only assume it was quiet park, but I wondered if it was really public. There were people doing yoga, and simply soaking up the sun. If I were wasn't in the accident section, I'd just assume that someone would have a heart attack. Then out of the corner of my eye, I saw someone that didn't look like they quiet belonged. I strolled past them, taking their soul as I did.
I sat down, at least I knew I wouldn't look like an idiot I had seen another person just sitting staring into nothingness. Of course I was looking at something, I was looking at how L. Cavanaugh was going to die. Just then all of a sudden he just fell to the ground. I was very confused, but the soul moved on immediately. I read later in the morning paper that Luke Cavanaugh had taken a slow acting poison in order to kill himself, and that was why I had ended up with his post it.
I went home, and emailed Reggie, writing;
Hey you,
Sorry about not writing in a while, but something came up. I'm pretty sure you can guess that the something has to do with Mason because he's the only thing in my life right now. He seems to have fallen off the face of the planet, and I fear the worst. I really don't think that he left me, so I have to assume that he was kidnapped, and will never be able to come to me again. I could really use a shoulder to cry on via email whenever, so I'll be keeping in better contact.

I hadn't exactly lied, he didn't really die, because he was undead, but he wasn't alive either. I hoped that she would not ask too many questions, because I'm not sure how long I could keep up a good lie for. Just after I hit send, and was about to curl up and read a book the phone rang.
"Hello?" I said, only Rube would ever call, and we had made our peace with each other.
"Hi, George, would you mind if Rube's replacement crashed on your couch?" asked Anika.
"I could deal with that for a little while, but he better not make himself comfortable."
"I know, I know, I'll be over in a few."
I hung up the phone, and not fifteen minutes later Anika was walking in with a tall blonde haired man in this forties. "This is Drew," Anika told me.
"Hi Drew, Anika says you'll be staying here a few days."
"Sure, I am, I know that I'm going to wake up any minute now. There is no way that I died like that!"
"Like what?" I almost afraid to ask.
"I tripped over a dog bone, and somehow I died."
"I got hit in the head from a hurtling, flaming toilet seat from the space shuttle, you'll learn soon that anything can kill a person."
He shrugged. "Way to be an optimist."
"Just be lucky I'm letting you crash on my couch, when I first started I had to get my own place, no one was nice enough to let me squat with them."
"You squat here?"
I sighed, loudly. "I own here, a few of my old co-workers used to squat wherever they could." He nodded. "Look, I've had a long day, and would really rather be alone. The bathroom is over then, upstairs and downstairs are off limits, and if you finish anything put on the list on the fridge."
"All right."
I went back to my room. I didn't hate Drew, I just wasn't feeling like I wanted to meet anyone knew. I heard Anika explaining to him that I had just lost two people who had meant a lot to me, and not to get too offended if I acted kind of strange. I sat in my room for a while reading, before I decided to see if Reggie had emailed me back. She had, and it read;Millie,
That's terrible to here, you know that if I was there I would have been one of the heads of the search party. If you need anything at all, you tell me, and feel free to call me collect if you ever think you're going to do something crazy, and need to hear a familiar voice on the other end of the line. How long has he been gone for.
I lied and told her that it had been about a month, I hadn't emailed her in longer then that so she wouldn't get suspicious. I was glad to have someone around that I had known since I had become a reaper, even if she didn't know the truth. I was glad to have Reggie as a friend, and I don't think I would trade being a reaper for going back to being just her sister. I actually thought that it was better for me to be her friend then her sister. Although at times I found it hard not tell her the truth when she was talking about "me."
That night with Colby laying on my feet purring, I realized for the first time that Rube would not be there at Der Waffle Haus in the morning. It was going to be odd having Anika taking the lead, and being in control of everything. I also realized that for a little while I would probably have to help Drew get used his new position as a reaper, which would not be fun. Whoever thought that the person who tried the hardest to not be a reaper, would be the first one to tell the new ones all the rules? I fell asleep thinking of all the people that I had worked with as a reaper, and my last thoughts were wondering what had ever happened to Roxy.
End
End notes: So here is the next part, eventually we may learn who was the second choice as the reaper. I haven't really decided what Drew is going to be like so there will be character development of him in the next one. I think he'll be a part time daddy of one, not sure of anything else. I've had a shitty day so nice words would make me feel better. Hugz and kissez trista aka the dustytiger

End notes: So here is the next part, eventually we may learn who was the second choice as the reaper. I haven't really decided what Drew is going to be like so there will be character development of him in the next one. I think he'll be a part time daddy of one, not sure of anything else. I've had a shitty day so nice words would make me feel better. Hugz and kissez trista aka the dustytiger
