60This is a big secret, Dawn. You must not share it with anyone.%u201d%u201cYes. I understand. I think you did the right thing. So kind and brave of you to risk all for someone you don%u2019t know. You are so unlike all the horrible, greedy, selfish people that seem to be everywhere now. Can I see her?%u201dHe nodded. %u201cLet me get you a drink first. I don%u2019t believe you have been in the basement before, have you? What would you like?%u201d%u201cDo you have vodka?%u201d%u201cYes. Wait there, and I%u2019ll get it. And can you please call me John and not Mr. Tucker.%u201dHe left her and shortly retuned with two bottles, two glasses, all on a tray.He sat down and poured a glass of vodka for Dawn, and a glass of whisky for himself. He handed her the glass. %u201cHere, Dawn. Drink this first and then I%u2018ll take you down and show you.%u201dThey both sipped from their glasses.%u201cMr. Tu... er... John,%u201d Dawn started, %u201cWhat happens if the young woman, Caroline, is really dead?%u201d%u201cI haven%u2019t thought it all through. I just thought that if she was alive, it would be evil and terrible if any doubt existed in my mind to bury her. I just couldn%u2019t bring myself to do it.%u201d%u201cAnd if she is alive and recovers, what will you do?%u201dHe shrugged. %u201cAgain. I never thought it through. I guess, I will have to face the music but if it%u2019s true, surely, it will work out a good thing, wouldn%u2019t it?%u201dShe nodded. %u201cI think you did exactly the right thing.%u201d He saw the way she was drinking. She had nearly finished the glass of vodka already. %u201cThe vodka is quite strong and you had a huge shock today. Try not to drink so fast, Dawn. We need you fit, sober and without a hangover for tomorrow.%u201d%u201cYes. You%u2019re right. Come on John. I want to see our superstar singer, Caroline. It%u2019s taking my mind off of my own worries and anxieties. She suddenly looked up at him. Her tone changed. %u201cAre you good in bed, John?%u201dThe Undertaker
