 "Te..Tell about the place George." Lennie said. George looked down in guilt. He supposed he could do it one last time....

" Ok, but this time, I want you to look across the river... So you.... So you can almost imagine it." George acted.

"But I don't wanna; it'll get boring." Lennie explained.

"Not if you actually imagine it. But if you do, you'll see it!" George claimed.

"YAY!" Lennie cried.

" Now tell about the place G-G-George."Lennie requested once more. George sighed.

" Ok. Well, we're gonna get a place. On a farm.Alone. Just me an' you pal." George started.

"A-an-and Candy!" Lennie added. George reached into his pocket while Lennie looked across the river.

"And Candy." George repeated.

"Now c-c-carry on George!" Lennie cried.

"Don't worry, I'm doing it. Anyway, we're gonna get some chickens,"

"And the Rabbits! Don't forget the Rabbits!" Lennie begged.

" Yes, we'll get rabbits Lennie." George replied.

"And I get to tend the rab-" BANG. Lennie had been interrupted with a gun shot. George looked at the lurger in his hand and felt his eyes blur a bit. There was gonna be trouble. George was gonna regret this.

"George. Why did ya shoot the air for?" Lennie asked. George then pounced on Lennie and covered his mouth as Lennie still tried to talk.

"Shut up you idiot!" George hissed. Lennie stopped.

"George?!" Somebody called.

"Do exactly as I say and lay on the floor! Don't move and don't speak to ANYONE." George commanded. Lennie was too confused to ask questions and did as George said. George then pulled ketchup out of his pocket and opened the lid.

"G-G-George is that ketchup?" Lennie asked.

"Yeah, it was gonna be a present for you but it's too late now. Just lay down and say nothin'." George instructed.

Candy and Slim came running over and saw Lennie with ketchup on his neck.

"By God, he DID steal Carlson's luger!" Candy gasped. Then Carlson came running over along side Curley.

"So you took the luger from him and just shot the bastard where he needed it?" Curley enquired. George stood still.

"Yes." He said. But then Curley noticed something.

"Yo why's there a bottle of ketchup on the floor?" He asked. Candy walked over to Lennie and touched the 'blood' on his neck.

"It's ketchup, isn't it?" Curley rhetorically asked. George froze. Candy stood firm over Lennie. Curley stared at George intensely.

"Why- you lying son of a-" BANG! George shot Curley straight onto the floor as Slim stuttered.

"George! What the-"Slim was dead. Lennie started crying.

" I'm sorry Slim. You were a good man. I mean it." George explained.

"The banging! The baanging!! Make it stop!" He shrieked.

"Shut up George. I'm saving your stupid ass." George gritted.

Carlson and Slim starred. They watched in shock as george quickly thought of something to do.
