Little Accidents Page #5

- Okay, be careful.

- All right.

- Good morning, Gus.

- How are you?

Well, do you got enough bolting

men for the morning shift?

What do you mean?

I'd like to do a little something, Gus.

I can't let you go in the mine.

You have to be

re-certified, re-trained.

Gus, I ain't looking for a handout now.

I just... You can't put me underground?

Can you use a computer?

Maybe I can put you in

the dispatcher's office,

or the hoist house, or something.

I ain't the best,

Gus, but I'll learn it.

Well, thanks, y'all. I'd

say we got a lot done today.

Bill, can you stick around for a second?

Yeah. Sure thing.

As you probably know, there's

gonna be an internal investigation.

we've already started looking into

timelines and events and things.

And based on these findings,

we really think it's best for

you to seek your own counsel.

Sure. I understand.

And it's customary

that you'll be suspended

for the length of the investigation.

This is... This is a rough time

for you, Bill, we both know that.

but you're gonna have to be

gone by the end of the month.

And then we'll see how it goes.

I'll see you out, John. Take care, Bill.

You're a lucky stiff

with this swing set.

I know.

What happened in the woods,

that was an accident.

Yeah, accident.

Like dad, remember?

Yup. He didn't come home.

That's right. It happened by mistake.

Mom was upset. She cried.

Yeah, you don't want her to cry

again, right? You understand?

You better keep your mouth shut.

Where's that boy?

Forget about that boy.

You promise to be quiet?

Yes.

I won't give these to

you anymore if you don't,

you understand?

- Yes.

- Good.

Good night, Georgie.

- Take it easy.

Why are you home so late?

Sorry. I'm just going

through some files from work.

I already had a sandwich, I'm good.

I've got three meteorologists on record

saying lightning struck

at 6:
28 and 6:29 a.m.,

and apparently they were strong strikes.

Maybe everyone will

stop pointing fingers.

Bill, company counsel is already

talking criminal negligence,

Just be careful what you say to

the other employees, all right?

Yeah.

At least Jenkins ain't talking.

And seems like he's not

joining the class action.

- Yeah.

- That's good news for you.

I could sure use some good news.

Will you try to take it easy?

I will.

This is Joel Kitts from

Wexler, Burnham and Kitts.

We're a firm that specializes

in coal-related personal injuries.

Carl Bishop may have given you my card

a while back and I've called a few times.

I can't seem to reach you.

I'm representing a number of families

in the class action suit

against Bonford Coal,

and I'm gonna be organizing

a closed-door meeting
