  Donovan walked down the creek bank where Rupert Norrison, the medical examiner, was already there bending over the bodies.

  “How did you get here so fast, doc?” And not giving him time to reply, asked, “Who are they? Can you tell?”

  “Yeah, Chief, despite the fact that their heads have been bashed in with a crowbar or something and dragged down here, I’d say I know who they are. I’m surprised you can’t guess especially after hearing about Ole Man Tucker getting out.”

  “What do you mean?” he asked, exasperated, the hairs on his neck were bristling.

  “Them bodies are what’s left of Ole Man Robeson and his son Mark.”
