"Hey Verno wheres the radio? Let's see if we can get some sounds" Chris says getting up from Sarah's legs

"Here!" Vern says passing him the radio

Then "come softly to me" by the fleet woods started playing

They all led down in their sleeping bags

They had a long talk about things that seemed important but they really weren't

"Alright alright! Mickey's a mouse Donalds a duck! Pluto's a dog... What's goofy?" Gordie asked

"If I could only have one food for the rest of my life? That's easy! Cherry Pez no question about it" Vern says

"Goofy's a dog! He's definitely a dog!" Teddy  explains

"I knew the $64,000 question was fixed there's no way anybody can know that much about opera!" Katie explains to Sarah

"He can't be dog! He wears a hat and drives a car!" Chris says

"Wagon trains is a really good show but... Did you ever notice they never get anywhere?" Gordie explains

"God that's weird what is goofy?" Sarah asked

None of them mentioned Ray Brower although it was definitely on their minds

They all slept until they heard a howl

"what the hell was that" Katie said rubbing her eyes

"I haven't got a clue..." Chris says

"it's that Brower kid! His ghosts out walking in the woods!" Teddy shouted

"Shut up teddy!" Katie said punching him in the shoulder

Then it howled again

"I promise I won't say no more bad words! I promise to eat my lima beans!" Vern cried

Then Teddy tapped him on the shoulder causing him to flinch

"Ah!" Vern shouted

"Two for flinching!" Teddy said punching Vern on the arm

"Teddy you asshole you gotta stop doing that," Katie said pulling teddy away from Vern

Then it howled again

"ARROO!" the wolf howled

"What is it, Chris..." Gordie asked standing up

"Maybe it's coyotes!" Sarah shouted

"It sounds like a woman screaming," Gordie says

"Gordie no it doesn't I bet it's wolves!" Katie exclaimed

"Its not coyotes it's his ghost" Teddy whispered into Vern's ear
