Sixty five

STEFAN POV

"Allergic to horses, are you sure?" I asked her.

"Yes, he was my elder brother. We grew up together, and even though there are a lot of ranches around here, he never took a job as a farmhand during summer because he was allergic. Just the smell of horses would make him sick. He would never go willingly near a horse."

"So that's why you suspected foul play?" Lily said in understanding.

"Yes, that's why I suspected foul play, I think whoever he was running from must have caught up to him," she replied

"Did you alert the authorities?" I asked her.

She laughed bitterly.

"And tell them what? What if whoever killed him found out I reported and came after me and my kids? I agreed that it was an accident and he was buried. The end."

"Is there anyone who had ill feelings towards him, that would want to kill him?"
