broke up and I thought man that was strange they got along good, you know, there was no arguing or fighting amongst them, you know, when we was together, of course she never said much, so I don't know what was going on between the two of them, so uh, he said him and his girlfriend had broke up and that he was in Portland and I said oh, and he said uh, is what I need to know, he said, if I come down that way, can I stay at your place a few days, I said well sure come on down, he said, well I got some business to take care of and then I'll be down and I said okay, and there was no laughing, talking, joking or that, he was really serious, you know, it was just like to me, like he was depressed, I don't know, you know, he just, cause he was the type of guy we always joked, you know, and he said I'll be down, and I said fine, yeah, you can stay here, come on down we look forward to seeing you and hung up and uh, never heard from him since, never
