every musician who has worked there has died a horrible , bloody , gruesome death . beth looked at gray like he 'd just announced he 'd run over her cat . i was so confused now , i did n't know what to think . i looked around and saw lucy watching me . she had known it , and so had he . the kids stood up and quietly made there way down the hall . she really hoped she could have her mother to herself again , if even for just one evening . are we going to do this together ?
