CHARLOTTE STARED at the women in shock, her eyes dilated in confusion, all the while mary pat just messed with her fingers.
she'd listened to the story the women had told them. drastically worried as she explained how the man died, and in a sickening way, it made charlotte relieved because now, they didn't have to handle it. he was already dead.
"we've got to call the cops" ruby told, looking to the three, annie scuffed. "she's got to call the cops, we've got to go" annie told, her voice low which made charlotte want to laugh saying as mary pat was right in front of them, and could hear what annie was saying clear as day.
"just tell them it was an accident" beth told, pursing her lips at the women. "yeah! he ran behind the car" annie added, shrugging lightly.
"who does that?" charlotte questioned, "he was kinda asking for it" ruby added, making the two nod. beth nodded aswell, it seemed like a solid story, and it made sense too. "yeah, well then i um moved the body." mary pat added, and charlotte sighed in annoyance at the women's words. it was making it harder to find a good cover story.
"why?" charlotte questioned, quirking a brow at the women. "well i didn't want the kids to see" she responded calmly, messing with her nails. annie sighed, shrugging as she threw her arms out lightly, "well who's gonna argue with that?" she questioned with a soft laugh.
"a judge" charlotte told, earning a smack from ruby against her stomach. beth shot her daughter a small glare, "where did you put it?" she questioned softly, watching mary pat look around the room.
"i didn't want it to smell" she started, charlotte pursed her lips at the women. "okay" beth told, eyeing the bruntte in confusion. "it's supposed to be so hot today" she added, pulling her robe closer to her body. "a real scorcher" ruby agreed.
"and jeff um he used to hunt, so we have a meat freezer" she told, charlotte sucked in a deep breath at her words. "well that makes sense" beth commented, her eyes cascading to the floor. "yeah, for the autopsy" charlotte added, not believing her own words, yet wanting the women to get to the point. "yeah, expect. he just got so bloated" mary pat told, and charlottes lips drew into a tight line at her words. wanting to keep a calm expression yet she was slowly losing it on the inside.
"i think it's because yknow all the gases get trapped inside" she added, using her hand to make a motion. "yes that is true" charlotte piped up.
"so then he, then he wouldn't fit" mary part stuttered, pushing a piece of hair out of her face. charlottes face slowly began to fall, leaning into the chair she sat in. "what do you mean?" beth questioned, leaning her elbows atop her knees to lean closer to the women. "i mean there was just to much of him... at first" she told, drawing out her words.
