The Vaughn family had a custom built mansion located on the outskirts of Albuquerque. It had cost almost two million dollars and everything about it screamed money. They had stables, horses, a pool, and almost twenty acres of land north of town. The only thing they had gone cheap on was the septic tank system. When it backed up and began overflowing they called for help.

  Josey was met by a valet that showed him a back road where his truck wouldn't be as noticeable by the wedding reception guests. Climbing out of the truck he heard music and laughter coming from the other side of a tall concrete wall which surrounded a large pool. The Vaughn’s wedding reception was in full swing as Josey ran the hose to their septic tank plug.

  He heard someone giggle while making the final connections and turned around.

  It was a pair of blonde girls that looked quite cute and he guessed they were about nineteen years old. They were wearing bikinis that left very little to the imagination and Josey smiled at them while wondering what kind of kinky wedding reception was going on. His heart almost stopped when they both smiled back.

  They asked if he wanted anything to eat, and of course he said, “Yes”.

  Before following them to the pool he flipped the pump switch on.

  A minute later, Josey was filling a plate with food and swaying slightly to the music. He didn't immediately hear the screams that began growing in volume all around him. But when he turned back to the pool, with a piece of fried chicken clenched in his mouth, there was a spray of human bodily wastes splashing down from the sky.

  The dozens of guests, most of the older ones dressed in expensive clothing, were splattered with a foul smelly concoction of septic tank contents. It was a bad day.

  A faulty hose coupler was responsible for the fiasco. Luckily for Josey, the owner of the septic tank draining company already hated Jasper Vaughn, head of the Vaughn household, for a variety of previous business disagreements. If it had been any other customer than him Josey certainly would have been fired. As it was he was only lightly reprimanded by the owner who had a hard time keeping a straight face during his lecture on the importance of being more careful in the future.
