Back in the camper van, Blair shared with everyone the gist of her conversation with Harvey. She didn’t bother mentioning the fact that she hadn’t returned his spare key. Her fingers had curled around it a time or two in her pocket while they’d been talking so she couldn’t honestly say she’d forgotten about it—but some sixth sense had told her to hold on to it.

“I mean, I realize Harvey’s grieving, but he’s not thinking straight—talking about burying Sandy here,” she concluded. “There has to be an autopsy, under the circumstances.”

“You can’t blame the man for wanting to bury her.” Logan shuddered. “There’s no way I’d sleep in that RV with a dead body. And I wouldn’t put it in the truck either. It won’t take but a day before it starts to stink.”

“We have to put it somewhere. We can’t leave her body outside,” Sam said. “It will attract wild animals and then—” His voice tapered off at Whitney’s sharp intake of breath.

“It’s starting to rain again too,” Blair pointed out. “Outside’s definitely not an option.”

“I have a cover for my truck bed,” Matt said. “We can wrap Sandy’s body in a tarp and put it in there for tonight. If we’re trapped here for too much longer, we might have to figure out an alternative—move her to the outhouse or something.”

“We won’t be able to keep the critters out of there,” Sam said, sounding dubious.

“And we’ll need to use the outhouse once our holding tanks are full,” Blair pointed out.

“Can’t we put her in a big cooler or something?” Whitney asked.

Blair arched a brow at her. It was hard to tell if Whitney was actually that much of an airhead or if she played into the role for the attention it brought. “She won’t fit in a cooler. Not once rigor mortis sets in.”

Whitney pressed a fist to her mouth, a horrified look spreading across her face.

“Changing the subject,” Blair said. “It’s time we got on with searching the rest of the trailers. You’re up next, Logan and Whitney.”

Rob got to his feet. “I’ll come with you. I could do with some fresh air.”

“I’ll meet you over there,” Sam said, making a beeline for the door. “I need to let Duke out for a quick sniff around first before it really starts dumping.”

Logan scowled as he got to his feet. “I don’t know why we’re still going through with this.”

“Because it’s paying off. We’ve discovered some pretty serious discrepancies in everyone’s story so far,” Matt retorted. “Not to mention secret weapon stashes. You wouldn’t happen to have anything to declare, would you, Logan?”

“Let’s just cut the jabs and get this over with,” Blair said exiting the camper van.

A sullen Logan led the way to his campsite and unlocked his trailer. “You trash it, you clean it up,” he warned them as he held the door open to let them in.

“You and Whitney can wait outside under the awning if you want,” Blair suggested. “It might be easier if you don’t have to watch us going through your things.
