This was going to be good.
I stood up quickly.
"One moment."
I went to the kitchen window.
"RUSSELL!!!! RUSSELL!!!"
I heard a caw. I knew he heard me.
I turned back to the two ghosts.
"Russell has gotta hear this."
"Ah, Krall?" Calvin attempted to get my attention.
I sat down and got comfortable.
"Just a second, Calvin."
"Ah. But ..."
He was pointing to the kitchen window.
I nodded and poured a drink.
Suddenly I heard something crash into my kitchen window.
I jumped up.
"Shit."
I had instinctively closed the window after I called to Russell.
I opened it quickly.
"Russell? Russell?"
I suddenly felt sick. Had I been the cause of Russell's demise.
"You're an asshole."
I let out a long sigh.
"At least you're okay."
Russell appeared in the, now open, window.
"Are you an idiot or are you seriously trying to break my fucking neck?"
I sat down quickly.
"Calvin is going to tell the story of how Harold murdered him."
Russell's eyes lit up.
"Really?"
I pulled the bird tree close to the table, as Russell perched on it.
"Give us a shot of that scotch, will ya Krall."
"Seriously?"
"Damn straight."
I poured some scotch in a bowl that was mounted on the tree.
Russell took a sip.
"Good shit."
He looked to Calvin.
"Okay idiot, tell us how grease-ball there, murdered you."
"It was a freaking accident," Harold barked.
