Part 22


“So…” James finally spoke up, about half an hour from the entryway. “Is it okay we stay at your place?”

“Jimmy told me, yeah.” A long pause followed before Chuck spoke again. “7 ribes, right?”

The two wanted to object and try to bargain, but were too tired to, and just nodded instead.

Chuck didn’t reply at all, or even acknowledge their nod, and just kept on walking as if they discussed nothing. It was only when James and Tom reached in their pockets and pulled out the money that he began communicating again. The clanking of the coins against one another when they passed them over to Chuck was one of the most depressing sounds they have had to witness.

“Thank you. We have a spare mattress you can share.”

The two didn’t reply again. The physical exhaustion was too great to speak. For all they cared they could’ve fallen asleep right then and there, standing up or lying down, mattress or no mattress.

The road back to town was a silent and long journey. The men were sluggish, but at the same time wanted to get home as fast as possible and be able use their 12 hours of free time.

I wonder how much a mattress costs. 🤔 Now the boys just have to not sleep through all of their free time.

Hmmm.. I might address that later in the story, to give a perspective on the prices/value of the coin.
I knew I would if it'd been me.
