“So where’s our crime scene?”
Don turned the wheel to the left. His eyes flicked over to the passenger seat to answer Colby’s question. “Somewhere out in Encino. That’s all Merrick said.”
It was a long drive through the late morning traffic. When they finally arrived at the address, an average looking home greeted them; two bedrooms, a starter home probably.
Police prowled the lawn behind yellow tape and Don crossed the driveway to speak with them. The shaken and disgusted looks on their faces were worrisome, putting a frown on his face. Not a single one of them could give him a straight answer as to what’d happened.
The sense of uneasiness from the morning had returned. Something was not right.
He thanked the officers for their not quite satisfactory help. Turning away to where Colby was entering the house, a blinding stab of pain in his head stopped his feet. He blinked heavily, raising a hand to head forehead, and then glanced up at the sky.
There, he stared in fascination as the sun began to disappear. Light faded to be replaced by a reddish glow. The solar eclipse had started.
Pushing aside the headache, Don staggered up the steps into the house. He heard Colby’s voice, stunted and bewildered, say, “What the hell is this?”
He thought it was only Colby’s natural attitude. Thus, he was surprised at what he saw when he entered the living room. Colby hadn’t been teasing or anything else like that. And he had to agree with his teammate’s confusion and the police’s horror.
Because sitting on the couch, amidst a horrible floral pattern, was a man.
A dead man who was missing the top part of his skull.
The strangest part was the brain missing as well.
‘What the hell, indeed.’
