Mulligan looked at Alexander and said, "Do you need a new green coat or something?"

That's when Alexander started crying.

"Hey hey hey now, a yellow one?"

Alexander kept crying.

"Purple, pink, lilac, orange, light green, blue?"

Alexander was still crying.

"Light blue or magenta"

Alexander cried harder.

"Listen Alex, I can't help you out here unless you tell me what color you want?"

Alexander shook his head as he burst into an ugly sob.

"No color? So you want a white one?"

That's when Alexander fell to the floor while ugly sobbing. Another customer walked in and was repulsed by the small man ugly sobbing on the floor.

"Oh don't mind him. Come on in, just avoid the sobbing man." Then Mulligan grabbed Alex from the floor and threw him over his shoulder to put him back on the ground in the back of the shop. After helping a few customers Mulligan went into the back of the shop to check on Alexander to discover he was still crying. So Mulligan sat down next to Hamilton and sighed, "ok, what's wrong?"

Alexander looked up at Mulligan and said, "dead."

"Dead? What's dead? A lot of things are dead. This doesn't help me at all."

That's when a little boy walked into the shop. The little boy pointed at Hamilton and Hamilton looked up and pointed at the boy. Mulligan looked at the two of them and put his hand on his head.

"Alexander this is my apprentice and this is Alexander."

The boy said hi as Alexander started his sobbing once more.

Mulligan looked at the boy and said, "don't ask because I have no idea, could you run the shop for a bit while I deal with this"

The boy nodded his head and went to the counter.

"Ok Alexander could you please try to tell me what's going on?"

Hamilton looked up at Mulligan, "Eliza dead." and he continued to ugly sob more.
