theory, dear. Something else?тАЭ

тАЬDonтАЩt get cross with me, Harry. I know youтАЩre in pain, but donтАЩt take it
out on me.тАЭ

I took a breath and let it out. тАЬSorry.тАЭ

тАЬNadine would like to go to Hangingstone Hill. Is that possible?тАЭ

тАЬParker,тАЭ I said into the handset, тАЬhas the scene out at Hangingstone
Hill been cleared?тАЭ

тАЬYes sir. Did I hear your wife and her friend want to go out there?тАЭ

тАЬIs there a problem?тАЭ

тАЬI suppose there isnтАЩt any reason except ... I mean, thatтАЩs where
Shad ... you know.тАЭ
 тАЬYes,тАЭ I answered. тАЬPerhaps it may help Nadine,тАЭ I offered. тАЬVery
well, dear,тАЭ I said to Val. тАЬIтАЩll see about organizing something.тАЭ

тАЬThank you.тАЭ She turned and padded away toward the stairs.

тАЬSorry about barking at you,тАЭ I said to Parker, turning again to the
phone. тАЬDidnтАЩt mean to kill the messenger.тАЭ

тАЬNot at all, sir. But about going to HangingstoneтАФit hasnтАЩt rained on
the north moor since it happened.тАЭ

тАЬYou mean we may find blood.тАЭ

тАЬYes, sir. ShadтАЩs and a good deal of your own. A weather front is
supposed to dampen things a bit this morning. Perhaps if you wait until
tomorrow.тАЭ

тАЬVal seems to think going there will help Nadine.тАЭ

тАЬNot for me to say, sir. Oh, while I think of it, if you go, use GPS
rather than trying to home in on the prang.тАЭ

тАЬHas it been removed?тАЭ

тАЬNo. ThereтАЩs an odd bit of jurisdictional flap with that. The scene
analyzer wasnтАЩt ours, wasnтАЩt the armyтАЩs, and wasnтАЩt one of the
constabularyтАЩs. Has to be a records glitch somewhere. Who is supposed
to collect it up has become a bother, as well. All the same, the signalтАЩs
dead.тАЭ

I frowned. тАЬDead?тАЭ
