“Where’s my box?” I blurted into the
phone. Getting Seb’s box back was my absolute first priority.
Pause. Sounds of confused chatter. Mad
Magda must have been in the room.
I sighed. “The one that came from my
store. Mario and gang picked it up by mistake yesterday.”
“Oh. That box. I think we buried it,” said Jimmy.
“WHAT?”
“Last night.”
“You buried
it?”
“It was a nice service. You would have
liked it.”
My box got a funeral?
“It wasn’t supposed to be buried, Jimmy!
They took the wrong box.”
More commotion. Mad Magda came on the
line.
“Gina, don’t panic. We can unbury it. I
know exactly where it is. Meet us at Black Chapel Cemetery at eight tonight. Bring
a few strong lads with shovels.”
She rang off.
I stared at the phone in my hand. My
inheritance got its own funeral. This family was freaking nuts.
