Bag of Bones Page #4

It's the first thing we bought

when we inherited the place.

Got it in a little antique store

outside of town.

[Laughs]

When we got frisky here,

she said we were ringing

Bunter's bell.

[Laughing]

Uh, look, I better be off.

Okay.

Oh, I left my number on the fridge,

along with the number

of the local cleaning lady

your wife hired...

Brenda Meserve.

- Mm-hmm.

Told her she ought

to come by tomorrow,

if that's okay with you.

Great, great.

Good night, now.

You bet.

Mr. Noonan.

Hmm?

I was awful sorry

to hear of Jo's passing.

Right.

We all were.

People around here, they...

Really liked her, didn't they?

They did.

Well, good night,

Mr. Noonan.

Good night Bill.

Good night, now.

[Keys clank]

[Sighs]

Hmm.

[Playing guitar]

[Melancholy music]

Come to me.

I have so much to show you, Mike.

[Keys jingle]

[Sighs]

[Jazz music]

let's fire it up.

[Cracks knuckles]

Mm-hmm.

[Sighs]

Come on now, something,

something, anything.

Something!

Come on!

Just give it to me!

Something!

Okay, Jo.

Tell me how to write, hmm?

Just tell me how to write.

[Bell rings]

Bunter?

[Foreboding music]

[bell softly rings]

[Continues ringing]

[Clears throat]

[Scoffs]

Okay.

Okay, Bunter.

That's enough of that.

[Bell rings]

[Soft rock music]

there are clouds on the horizon

so take a breath

you're in the calm

before the storm

if only for a moment

close your eyes

and feel the thunder

we can't hide

or run for cover anymore

it's time to take a stand together

oh, oh

hold on

'cause the tide is strong

it can't erase

the fire in her eyes

[sighs]

Greetings, my dear lady.

Greetings, my green lady.

Huh.

[Sighs]

[Scraping]

Oh!

[Grunts]

Jo?

Is that you?

Once for "yes."

Twice for "no."

[Bell rings once]

[Laughs]

Oh!

[Sighs]

You're here, aren't you, Jo?

[Bell rings once]

[Laughs]

[Woman singing shrill note]

[Groans]

[Woman screams]

[Bell ringing]

[Screams]

[Panting]

We're not alone, are we, Jo?

Huh?

[Door creaks open]

Jo, are you there?

Hi.

Who are you?

I'm sorry,

Mr. Noonan.

Name's Brenda Meserve.

Your housekeeper?

I... I used the key

to let myself in.

Yes.

[Chuckles]

Oh, yes.

Of course.

Oh, good.

Nice to meet you, Brenda.

How are you?

Uh, Bill said he told you

I'd be coming by today

to clean the place up for you.

I can come back at a better time

if you'd like.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

It's all fine.

Uh, I was just going to head into town

and get something to eat.

You're sure?

Oh, absolutely.

Any, uh...

Any suggestions?

Buddy Jellison's cafe,

right there on main street.

Can't go wrong ordering

the villageburger.

Ah, good.

Thank you very much.

Thanks for coming.

Hey! Hey!
