The Crafty Teddy
“I hobbled over as quickly as I could to check and see if the guy was still alive, although I didn’t think it was very likely. There was broken glass on the floor, which I assumed was from the cupboard’s doors, or perhaps glassware that had been stored inside, and I heard and felt it crunching underfoot. I gingerly knelt down and took the limp wrist in my hand. The flesh still felt a little warm, but I couldn’t find a pulse. The guy was “sneakers-up,” a cheerful cop expression that meant he was ...dead. I bent my head over to look at the man’s face and inhaled sharply. It had been a long time since I’d seen something that bad.I stood up and backed away from the body. It may sound heartless, but my first thought wasn’t to call 911 for the rescue squad and EMTs. The guy was dead and nothing was going to bring him back, but I knew that the rescue squad would feel duty-bound to yank the victim from underneath the cupboard and rush him to Rockingham Memorial Hospital, a well-meaning yet useless gesture, which could also irrevocably contaminate the death scene and perhaps destroy vital evidence.MoreLess
