But the way the PI says it slow, deliberate, heavy makes every nerve in my body stand at attention. “What exactly did you find?” I whisper. “I will send the documents to your email,” he says. “But Trey this man?

When he came close, the men cringed in fright, for he wore a skirt of bearskin like theirs.
