“I’ll see what can be done,” Kennon replied. “Have you saved the body?”

“Every one of them,” Jordan said. “They’re in the hospital in the autopsy room.”

“That was sensible. A post-mortem might give us an answer. Where’s the hospital?”

“I’ll show you,” Jordan offered.

“Count me out,” Alexander said. “I have a weak stomach.”

“I’ll go along if it’s necessary,” Blalok said.

“There’s a staff there, Old Doc trained them,” Jordan said.

“Then it shouldn’t be necessary,” Kennon said.

Blalok sighed with relief and turned to Alexander. “We could check the records while those two are about their bloody work.”

“I’d rather check a long strong drink,” Alexander replied. “What with the Family and this, it’s too much to take for one evening.”
