Evil Ed

"So what're you gonna do now?" Charley asked as him and Ed walked to his apartment.

"How about finishing high school? Can't get a job without a high school degree." Charley laughed.

"True. We'll go get the paper work done tomorrow. Do you have money for cloths?"

"Yeah. In my account. I made it after I left this place. Did odd jobs and took the money from those I did manage to kill. So, I got a couple pennies saved up." Ed saw Charley's face drop when he said "pennies". So he added, "Don't worry. I saved a lot more than just pennies."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"That took longer than expected..." Ed said holding his head. He and Charley just left the school office, both had heads from having to go through a lot of paper work and questions. Riding in Charley's car, they head to Wal Mart(1).

"So, you do have your money, don't you?" Charley asked, trying to take their minds off the paper work. Ed nodded.

"Sure I do. It's in my pocket."

"Good. Well, here we are. Wal Mart."

"Doesn't look like much."

"Oh, believe me, it's not."

Laughing, they headed inside the store. Once inside, Ed kept swinging his head in every direction, trying to see everything. Wow... How can they fit so much stuff in this place? I can't even fit one quarter of this stuff in my old home! Charley lead the way to the clothing department.

"Well, take your pick of whatever interests you. Have fun."

"Hey! Aren't you gonna stay here?"

"No. I have some shopping of my own to do."

"Oh, okay then."

Ed looked around the mens section. He found some neat scifi/horror shirts. Some black pants and even tried on a couple pairs of jeans. Once done, he headed towards the counter ready to pay for the stuff. The lines were long, but Ed didn't mind that. He was a patient person and could wait hours. When it was finally his turn, he was almost sleeping.

The woman at the register seemed nice. She smiled sweetly at him when he approached. They talked a little while she rung up his clothes. When it was all totaled, Ed paid her the money, and left the store. He searched for Charley's car in the big parking lot. Spying it, he headed to it. Once he got there, he noticed that it was empty.

Oh, well. Guess I'll be alone for a couple of minutes. Might as well make myself comfortable. Ed reclined back on his seat, in a laying position. He grabbed a book from under his seat and began reading it. Within a span of ten to twenty minutes, Charley came back, carrying bags of his own. After putting them in the trunk, he started up the car.

"So, how was your shopping Ed?" He asked as they drove away from Wal Mart.

"It was fun. How about you?"

"Okay."
