"He is that," said Phil, replying to Betty but also to himself. That mean old dog needed to retire yesterday. On the rare occasions wihen Sheriff Lorenzo was away Bob was technically in charge, and things never went right.<br/><br/>At Michale's insults Bob reddened, and started forward, but one strong arm from Lorenzo blocked his way. All the deputy could do was fume while the young man drove away. Only when he was gone did Lorenzo speak.<br/><br/>"Get a detour sign set up, Bob," he said curtly. "Do it now." Then he stalked off towards Phil and Betty Richardson. Bob spat on the ground but trudged over to the vans to find a sign.<br/><br/>Normally Lorenzo would rush over to the body, but Phil looked like he had something important to say. And he did; Miss Richardson might have seen whoever had dumped the torso in the middle of the road. Lorenzo greeted her then listened to Phil as he went over his notes.<br/><br/>"Good work," the sheriff said when Phil was done. He turned to Betty. "You and your husband need to be careful from now on, Miss Walker. You might have seen a killer...Are you going to be okay getting home from here?" They would question her again later, of course.
