The telephone rang, and Laurie went to answer it.
She listened. "No," she said, winking at Spider, "he's here. Matter of fact, he was just sworn in this morning." She paused, listening again. "What!" The freckles on Laurie's nose stood out as the blood drained from her face. Her eyes widened.
"What's the matter?" Spider asked, sitting up straight.
"Wait," she croaked into the receiver. She thrust the instrument toward Spider. "It's Kyle Bates calling for the deputy sheriff," she rasped. "His son was out rabbit hunting with Cody Larson this afternoon, and they found a body."
