Gale shrugged as he popped his final piece of bacon into his mouth.  He stood and stretched his arms over his head.  He turned and looked up the side of the house, toward the top of the old residence.<br/><br/>"I think I'm going to just get on with what I had been planning on my way here."<br/><br/>He motioned toward the upper levels and roof.<br/><br/>"There has to be some kind of neglect, the house was supposedly empty for so long.  I'm going to climb up and check the roof, all the way up to the top.  Start on the outside and work my way in.  Even though the room in the attic seems...well, it seems like we had just left, but there has to be something."<br/><br/>He glanced back and the other two and raised his eyebrows in question.<br/><br/>"Right?  There has to be?"<br/><br/>He frowned and turned back to the house.<br/><br/>He let the others state where they were planning on going, nodding after a second or two when they had finished.  He was already thinking about what he needed to do and grab in order to get up the house's exterior.  When they finished, he gave a final nod.<br/><br/>"Anyway, I'm going to go put on my boots and some old jeans, then get climbing.  I guess I need to go check the shed for a ladder."<br/><br/><em>Could just climb up the side though </em>he thought.  His mother's chiding from when he was a kid rang in his ear for a split second.<br/><br/>"I'll yell if I need some help, but I don't think I'll have any problems.  This isn't anything compared to the last job site.  This has walls."<br/><br/>He chuckled and picked up the glass that had held his milk.  He reached for any dishes that the others had.<br/><br/>"Oh, I'll get these.  Least I can do after you two got the mess from last night."<br/><br/>He turned and walked inside, not noticing the strange glance that each of the other two gave him and then each other.<br/><br/>He called back out to Ember and Raine, over his shoulder.<br/><br/>"Oh, figure out what you both want for lunch.  If someone needs to go into town, I can go, assuming I don't break my neck this morning."<br/>
