The Ice-Cold Case
““I’ve never seen a tree with moves like that,” Joe said as he grabbed a flashlight from the glove compartment. He hopped out and ran to the base of the fallen tree. He could see sawdust on the ice surrounding the stump. “It’s been cut all right,” he called to Frank. “Almost all the way through.”
Frank came over to Joe, who was now shining the light into the dark forest.
“See anything?” Frank asked.
“No,” Joe said. “But they were smart. The ground is all icy here, so they wouldn’t leave any trac...ks.”
They were standing in a low part of the forest that in warmer weather would be a swampy bog. Now the ground all around them was mottled ice with fallen branches and twigs sticking out.
“And the woods aren’t very thick, either,” Frank added. “They could’ve pushed the tree over and made a break for it. Whoever did it is long gone by now.”
They went back to the van and saw that Frank had brought it to a stop only a few inches from the tree.
“We’d better move that tree before anyone else drives into it,”MoreLess
