Filth.....chapter twelve

They both were dressed in time to meet Brian on the porch. Carly skipped off the porch and told them she was going to walk down the lane to check the mail.

As Javen and Brian walked through the kitchen...Brian looked at Carly out the window and said,"Javen...you are one lucky bastard...she has got to be the prettiest woman in these parts." Javen grinned and said,"Yes I am my friend...yes I am."

Javen showed the mud caked shower pipe to Brian and they immediately went to the pump house. Brian turned the light on...grunted and said,"Oh shit...this filter system is fucked." He traced the pipes and shined his flashlight under an old bench.

He grumbled,"Son-of-a-bitch....I didn't see that when I hooked everything up." Javen questioned,"See what?" Brian said,"That old cistern pipe is hooked in to the bypass back here....it's there to switch over for watering livestock.

Javen asked,"You mean the pump was sucking water from the cistern instead of the well?" Brian answered,"Yip...and that's why it smells like shit...remember...I told you that cistern should be filled in before you did all that work to the house." Javen turned a little red and said,"You also told me it would cost two thousand dollars!"

Brian grumbled,"Well....that is a fair price." Brian grabbed his tools and began unhooking the filter system. Javen asked,"How much is this going to fucking cost me?" Brian snarled back,"Not a damn dime....this was my fault...I will disconnect the cistern pipe...plug it off and put you in a new filter system."

Javen apologized for being rude and asked if he could help. Brian said,"Yeah...you can run to my shop and get a new filter tank and filter....Denise is there...just tell her what I need."

Javen agreed as Brian said,"Oh yeah...keep your hands off of her new tits...I'm going without a new truck for those puppies." Javen laughed and said,"I wouldn't even think of it." Brian chuckled and said,"With the woman you have...you might be telling the truth." Carly came walking up with mail in her hand as Javen told her he had to run to town. She was so relieved to hear that Brian found the problem.

Javen hopped in his truck and headed for Ranesville. Carly sat outside the pump house talking with Brian. Brian asked,"What made him turn the bypass on in the first place?" Carly answered,"The water just stopped." Brian looked out from under the bench and said,"Stopped?" Carly said,"Yes...it stopped....Javen turned on the bypass and we got covered in mud...we were taking a shower...then we had to take baths in the creek."

Brian moaned and said,"One more word young lady and my lap will be hooked under this bench." Carly blushed and said,"Oh Brian...you are so silly!" Brian being a plumber for twenty years knew that water didn't just stop. He thought to himself,"they were probably having wild unbridled sex in the shower and bumped the knobs....or the more boring answer is the pump for some reason lost its prime."

Carly asked about the noises they heard under the house. Brian said it damn sure wasn't the cistern pipe. He came out of the pump house and walked with Carly up to a small pond at the edge of the back yard.

He kicked around the weeds and said,"Here it is...it's a run off to the cistern....hell...this thing is a small tunnel...it's probably two feet square." Brian asked Carly to go get his flashlight from the pump house. She ran there and back with the big yellow flashlight. Brian actually just wanted to see her butt as she ran to the van.

Brian got on his knees...pulled some weeds back and shined his light in the small tunnel. He said outloud to himself,"What the fuck...there's an old toy in here...a toy top." He grunted...got up and walked over to a scraggly apple tree...broke a dead limb off and said,"I can reach it with this."

Brian went back to the tunnel opening and stuck the stick in to fish out the toy. He still couldn't reach it so he laid down and put his arm in too. He was looking up at Carly's crotch when he screamed,"No...no...fuck...Carly...help!"
