Kadence tore off her gloves and
dropped them in the trash receptacle in the nearby corner and turned to face
her. “He had no I.D. Some homeless person called the police complaining that a
stranger stole his cardboard box house. The body was found behind a dumpster in
the alley in said box, an old blanket tossed over him. I couldn't determine how
long he’d been dead because his liver temperature was ice cold, as if he’d been
in a freezer. There’s no apparent cause of death…so far.” She paused, then
grinned. “You need to check out his package, sis.”
Ginger frowned. “His package? Where…”
She glanced around looking for a wrapped gift.
Kadence giggled. “Not that kind of
package. That kind.” She pointed to the center of the draped body. She shook
her fingers as if they were scorched. “Wow!” she mouthed.
“For God’s sake,” Ginger snapped. “I
hope you two haven’t been inappropriate. Corpses deserve their privacy and
respect just like the living.” Knowing her sisters, especially these two, one
could never be sure. Daredevils to the tips of their Reeboks, they were also
big pranksters. She couldn't count the times they’d pulled hoaxes on her,
leaving her with the proverbial egg on her face.
