When Joe arrives his father is lying dead in the living room, and his mother seems very calm. Joe's seven-year-old sister is asleep, and his thirteen-year-old sister is crumbled in a corner. The family then retreats to the kitchen as two men efficiently load the fifty-one-year-old dead man into a wicker basket. Joe has a last look and expresses sorrow for all his father's griefs. Mother shakes, declaring that is not Bill Bonham any more.
