John and Chas wait till later in the night to go grave-digging. The two find the grave of the Headless Horseman and abruptly begin digging. Luckily for them, the grave was not a full six feet deep, so they got to it sooner then they thought. Chas jumps down into the hole and opens the grave. John sighs as he sees the thing he was worried about.

 

"Bollocks! His head is missing."

 

Chas climbs out of the grave and sits on the ground next to it. Seconds of angered silence pass until John breaks it.

 

"No! Johny Boy! I'm not giving up! This trip isn't going to end with bugger all to show for it."

 

"John give up, the guy has been dead for almost two centuries and no one has found his head."

 

"I'm not giving up, Chas. I can't. I'm not going to let someone die because of a reason I could have prevented."

 

A loud laughter is heard from close by.

 

"Hello?"

 

Another burst of laughter is heard, this time John hears the direction it came from.

 

"Chas, shine your torch over there."

 

Chas shines his flashlight towards the direction John pointed and it shines on a shed down a stone trail. John looks at Chas and shrugs his shoulders.

 

"Couldn't hurt investigating."

 

"Yeah, but if you die by some psychotic murderer inside that shed, don't come haunting me."

 

"That's why you're coming with me as my muscle."

 

"Screw you, John..."
