Hanging in the tree
Good end
This was going to be hard to pull off. He had seen Sherlock Holmes do this, so how hard could it be? You know, other than the fact that there was no way he could pay off Octavian To hook the metal piece in the rope. No matter. One mechanism later, and he had a self attaching metal hook. He was set. All that was left to do was die.
Will was told that leo wanted him to embalm him. Why? Because he made the most sense to do the embalming. Leo had approached him the other day with a plan. And a good one. This one would fool the gods. Well, probably not, but it was the thought that counts. This would work. And it would work well. Octavian be damned.
This was it. It was time for the hanging. Calypso stood there, tears pooring off as her lover hung there. 'Dead'. Just dangling. Octavian poked at the body with a broken off stick, making sure he was dead. It was three minutes before they had actually decided to cut the body down. But as Leo's body slowly spun, she caught the small gleam of metal at the base of the body. She looked at Leo's friends. None of them had seemed to notice.
A few weeks later the ceremony was to be held. Even though all his friends complained to will to have an open casket, he had declined saying it was Leo's last wish. That stopped the arguing. at the beginning of the ceremony, the casket was et out for people to say there prayers. When calypso went up to he casket, she asked everyone to leave for a minute, putting on her best remorseful face. Everyone simply nodded, respecting the fact that she didn't want to be seen broken. Once everyone had left, calypso walked up to the casket and pried the lid open a little. Smiling, she wedged the coffin closed again and walked out, claiming she couldn't bare the sadness anymore. She walked quickly, with purpose. Upon reaching her destination, she attempted to open the door to bunker nine, but for some reason, was unsuccessful. She took a step back and simply knocked. The door to bunker 9 opened suddenly, and she stepped in. The first thing she noticed was a new and improved festus. Looking around for the object of her affections, she found a childish drawing of a store. The name of said store was 'Leo's and calypso's diner of mechanical monsters.' A work in progress. Of to the side of the bunker, up on the rafter she heard him.
