Graybill (MichaelTyger) Wk - 3-4 (2)

Graybill

Dark and lonely here

He remembered these sewers

Scary, damp echoes

Shifty eyes caught him

Mister Lee's benefactor.

Scrapper growled at him

Though the dog was trapped

in a rusted cage nearby,

he knew Graybill's stench

Jeremy sat still

There was no other choice now.

What could the boy do?

Something was not right.

There was blood on Scrapper's paws

and he barely moved

"This is why," he said.

"You're puppy got himself hurt

and I want to help."

Mister Lee was mum

Graybill was known for his ways

Also his temper

"I'm ready right now

but we need a small favor

Isn't that right Lee?"

Mister Lee nodded

"Really small. Really easy."

The dog whined at them.

"All you have to do

is go home and act normal

and do one small thing."

Graybill walked closer

"Unlock a downstairs window

when you go to bed."

"I need to borrow

...a little money so we...

can get medicine"

"But my dad..." he said,

"He might get angry at me."

Jeremy told them

"But your dog will die

if we wait for permission.

We will pay him back."

Jeremy agreed

since Scrapper needed his help

so they took him home

and later that night

Jeremy snuck back downstairs

to do what he must...
