I let out a shaken breath, then straightened up and looked back down at the husky.
Craig:Get the shovel from the trunk.
The two companions had many odds and ends in their trunk, such as duct tape, rope, an extra battery, and of course a shove if ever this where to happen again.
The killing of an innocent being.
Craig dug down deep, ploughing through the dry, un-saturated soil, getting deeper inch by inch. Spinner had the lesspleaseant job of bring the animal forth to its soon to be resting place.
He gripped it's heine legs tight, the body now getting cold, and dragged it as best he could ten feet over to Craig, nearly done as he flung a heap of dirt behind him.
He rose up, pierced the ground to his side with the shovel, and sighed as he inspected the hole.
Craig:(nods)That's good enough...
I gestured to Spinner with my free hand.
Craig:Well...
Spinner had an angry frown.
Spinner:One step ahead.
He thrust it downwards, and it fell with a small thump onto the desert floor. Craig:Wait!
All the while Spinner was slightly annoyed by this whole mess.
Spinner:What!
I knelt down, leaned in and uprooted a single quarter from the inners of my pocket.
Spinner:What the hell are you doing?
He then turned and glowered at the car, then to the seemingly endless road in the desert night.
Spinner:We gotta go.
He turned back and gave an enraged look at Craig.
Spinner:(eyes the coin) And this is no time to be burying treasure.
Craig:Shut up!
I gazed back at the dog, then reached downwards and placed the quarter in it's ajar mouth.
Spinner:What are you doing?
He was anxious and impatient. Craig had a a hollow look in his eyes, still fixated on the creature.
Craig:It's fair for the underworld. Some believed without it one's soul wouldn't get into the underworld.
Spinner:Get that from The Crow?
Craig:Greek mythology, smartass.
Spinner sighed and averted his gaze.
Spinner:Well, not that this isn't fun, but we both have somewhere to be.
Craig symboled a small cross against his shoulders and torso, stood silent for a second, then spoke.
Craig:Let's go.
