Jeane remained rooted, wondering why he gave her a necklace, she sighed, and smile, before going in.

A cop came to him “Sir, we counted the body, and only four was recovered” he reported.

“Unbelievable!” the sheriff riposted, and hurried over to see for himself.

“Open up the van” he said.

And it was opened for him, the stench smell of burnt human skin waft in his nose, and he squeezed his nose, feeling the urge to poke.

He counted the recovered bodies, and discovered that, it was the same number as he was reported to, he came out of the van, with an expressionless face.

“What should we do, sir?” one of the cops inquired.

The sheriff lifted his face.

"Search around" he ordered.
