Do you guys  think you can tell your folks  you are camping out at my house tonight? Maybe Chris said but my dad has kinda been on the mean streak here lately, you know he's been drinking a lot . When chris said that I felt bad for him but in my mind i was starting to like him but i knew he probably didn't feel the same . Yeah I said I probably can getting out of my thoughts  yeah same Gordie  and Teddy said so come on vern tell us ! Then as he started  to talk  we started to laugh  then all of a sudden  he said you guys  wanna go see a dead body ? When he said that we all stopped what we were doing  and listened to him . We  all had follow the Ray Bowers story closely he was a kid our age and even tho I just moved  here I have heard about it. Well you know I was under the porch digging ya know .  From what Chris had told me vern had buried a jar of pennies  under his house  and his ma was cleaning his room and thew the map away and he had been digging for days didn't know weather to laugh or cry . Well I heard Billy  and Charlie talking  and they had seen Ray Bowers  the kid went out walking one day to pick blueberries  and all of a sudden  a train hit him and he hasn't been found since. Men if they would have seen you man they  would have killed  you! Chris said. Hey I bet ya if we find him we will get our picture's in the paper ya ya teddy said you up for it verno!
