Chapter 78

“The body was in there?” Greg asked with macabre relish.

“Yeah. Damn. Thank God Alan, that’s the old man, was there, too, or I’d probably have lost it. We called the cops. When they showed up I had to explain what I’d heard. I think they believed me.”

“Or they think youkilled the guy…It was a guy, right?” When Tony nodded, Dan continued. “They don’t, do they?”

“They didn’t act like it, and I’m here, not in jail, so I sure hope not.”

“Was there lots of blood?” Greg asked ghoulishly. “How was he killed?”

“I think…stabbed. I sure didn’t go in to check but that’s what the wounds looked like,” Tony replied, shooting him a look of disgust. “You’re getting too much fun out of this.”

“Blame it on my misspent youth, watching too many horror movies.”

“Youth?” Dan eyed him. “You went to one just last week if I remember right.”

Greg shrugged. “So I’m a fan of blood and gore. Shoot me.”
