Trepidation/Sidelines of a Cemetary Part 7

Ricks breathing became heavier as he walked endlessly around the cemetary, hoping against hope that the board had been at some other spot. As he rounded the corner on the south side of the cemetary he saw the man, the creepy guy, walking behind a tree. Rick quickly looked away, but glanced back every couple seconds to make sure the man stayed in that spot. The man hadn't seen Rick looking at him, and Rick quickly thought of what to do. He walked straight for the tree, acting as though he was still searching for the hole.

Just as he came within arms-length of the tree, he concentrated all his energy on hurling himself around the tree and hitting the man as hard as he could.

He was successful, he planted one right in the man's gut. The man was holding a baseball bat,

"Big suprise," thought Rick as he lunged again at the man, grabbing the bat and ripping it from his suprised enemy. He held up the bat threateningly and said,

"All right, now I want you to tell me everything" The man turned quickly on the spot and began to run. Rick swung at his legs, but missed horribly, he never was very good at baseball. He tossed the bat aside and gave chase. He caught up and tackled him from behind. This time he took no chances, putting the man in a tight headlock and bashing his face with his other hand.

"TELL ME EVERYTHING!" Rick screamed, giving him three good blows to the cheeks and chin. He stopped to allow the man to talk.

"I'm sorry," the man said, "I can't tell you anything"

Rick lifted his leg, threateningly over the man's man-parts.

"I'll do it," Rick warned, "I'm in control here"

"Ok, her name is Jane, and I laid the sod"

"Jane?" Rick thought, "What is he talking about"

As Rick thought, he loosened his grip just enough for the man to deliver a blow to Rick's diaphram which allowed him to escape. Rick tried to get up, but could not for several seconds.

When he did, the man was gone.
