DAWSON

Where the fuck are they?

Gryff isn’t the punctual type, but he’s really testing my patience today. Last I heard, they were on their way with the dunk tank. That was an hour ago. We got money to raise and people to dunk. If they don’t get here soon, his ass is going back in that tank again this year, no matter what I promised him about Uno.

As if he must have heard the silent threat forming in my head, I see his black pickup truck finally entering the dirt parking lot of the soccer field, with a blue plastic tarp covering something large in the back.

It’s about fuckin’ time.

I flag him down like an airplane control person, guiding him as he puts the truck in reverse and backs up to where the tank goes, next to the water balloon toss booth. His engine revs and the tail brake lights blink every time he moves closer until I hold up my palm for him to stop.

When I approach the shiny new Ford, I slap the fender. “You’re good. Throw it in Park.”

The engine is cut and he hops out of the driver’s side just as the prospects gather around to lug the heavy piece of cargo out of the bed of the truck.

“I want this filled with water and ready to go in less than an hour, boys. No excuses. Just get ‘er done.” I’d stay and help, but, well, I’m not a prospect and I don’t have to.

Stepping back, I watch as the generic rain tarp is pulled away, exposing the plexi-glass of the top of the tank and the wooden base painted in bright yellow.

“Not bad,” I cross my arms and nod as Gryff takes a place by my side.

He looks smug. “Thanks. It wasn’t easy, but I got it done.”

Who’s he kidding? “What the fuck you talkin’ about? You and I both know all you did was sit around and watch Stitch build it.”

He doesn’t argue. “Technically, I handed him shit when he needed it, so I helped. And my stimulating conversation kept Stitch motivated to finish it. Therefore, my help was invaluable. And, as payment, I’ll be the one to tell Uno he’s the lucky son of a bitch who gets to be dunked this year, thank you very much.”

Great. With my luck, we’ll end up with another broken tank this year.

“On another note, I got news on that little project you put me on.” Gryff lowers his voice and leans into me as we watch the newest batch of Slayer hopefuls struggle to balance the square booth down onto the ground without dropping it. “Easy! That shit doesn’t bounce you know!” he calls out to them.

“Yeah? What did you find?” It’s been about three days since I assigned him with the task and other than small updates, I hadn’t heard much.

There’s a loud crash as the square object is finally set down on the grass. “You break that and I’m a gonna break your necks!” Gryff plays Drill Sergeant, but quickly lowers his volume and gives his attention back to me.
