"Night Don, See you Monday" was said by the various people still working as Don headed toward the elevators. All he wanted to do at this point was leave his office and get out into the night air. Don really didn't care where he went, he just wanted to get outside.

As he got closer to his SUV, Don's first thought was to go back to his place, have dinner and go to bed, but decided to head over to Charlie's place instead. As he drove, Don thought, "What a beautiful night".

Don pulled into the the drive expecting to find Charlie or his dad at home. He only saw a dark home.

“They must be out for the night”, Don said to himself.

He got out of his SUV and headed toward the back. Don wasn't ready to head in just yet. As he get closer to the koi pond, a sense of relaxation fell over him. It wasn't a bad week, just long. Too much paperwork; too many meetings; too many phone calls to make and return.

“What a week!”, he said, after taking a deep breath. “I'm glad it over”.

Don's mind was wandering as he walked to the edge of the koi pond. He didn't see the stones that Charlie was rearranging.

One step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

Thats all it took for Don to fall straight into the pond, face first.

“Damn”, Don grumbled, as he tried to get out. “Perfect, just perfect”.

While Don was trying to stand up with as much dignity as he could muster, Charlie came out the back door and started walking toward Don.

“Hey bro, don't you think it's a little late for a swim”, Charlie said, as his tried hard not to laugh.

“Shut up, Chuck”, was the reply that came in return.

Charlie edged a closer and quietly asked “Are you okay?”

“Yeah”

“You sure you didn't hurt anything?”

“Just my ego.”

Charlie just shook his head.
