Iris Avenue
“Malcolm was the town’s fire chief and a hairy beast of a man who most people referred to as “Bear.”
“You got plans this morning?” Malcolm asked him.
“Nothing that can’t be rearranged,” Scott said. “Why?”
“Mean Mann just called me. Seems he’s got the Corps of Engineers and a special wildlife agent coming down to break up a beaver dam that’s blocked Raccoon Creek where it empties into the Little Bear; it’s causing some flooding. Mean’s got an abscessed tooth and has to have emergency ...dental surgery, so he wants me and you to oversee the project.”
“It must have killed him to call you,” Scott said.
“I notice he didn’t call you.”
“He may hate me just marginally more than he hates you. You should be flattered.”
Lieutenant Colonel Harlan “Mean” Mann worked for District One of the State Division of Natural Resources Law Enforcement and was one of the most thoroughly unpleasant men Scott had ever met.MoreLess
