Chapter 6

Fence post

The next day Ed was high above the ground in a state patrol helicopter searching for the missing fugitive doctor and his two deputies. Nobody knew if the doctor somehow subdued the two officers and escaped or if they took off as a group. Then a call came from a state patrol officer on the ground, they had found the deputies vehicle abandon on the side of the road nine miles from town.

The helicopter landed and Ed got out along with another state patrol officer. They approached the abandon car that was being taped off by state patrol officers at the scene. As Ed approached, he noticed the tires were covered with mud which stood out as odd since it hadn’t rained in weeks.

“We didn’t find anyone in the car,” an officer said. He was writing down information on a notepad. His name was Alan Wagner.

“Did you notice the mud on the tires?” Ed asked.

“Yes, it’s a red clay, very common around here.”

“I know, but it hasn’t rained in weeks.”

“They must have been driving near a pond or the river, who knows?” Wagner asked.

“Hopefully you will soon,” Ed replied. The sheriff felt groggy and tired. It had been weeks since he had last eaten and knew he should contact the hospital for supplies.

“You alright?” Wagner asked. He noticed Ed was having a hard time focusing on what was going on.

“I need to eat,” Ed replied.

“You’re diabetic?”

“No, but I get the same way if I don’t eat enough.”

“I got some gum, will that help?”

“No, sorry, I have to make a call,” Ed said as he took out his phone to dial the hospital. Once he had someone on the line, he had the call transferred to the morgue to speak to his contact. Wagner listened to Ed as he spoke. “Yeah, could you send me out something, I’m not feeling my best,” Ed said. Then silence while the tech on the other side replied. “That’ll be fine, you can send it to my house.” Another pause and they said their goodbyes.

“What did you order?” Wagner asked.

“They have two hysterectomies scheduled for today, they’re overnighting the results to my house. I should have them by morning.”

“Hysterectomies?” Wagner asked.

“Uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes,” Ed replied.

“What are you going to do with them? Use them as fish bait?”

“No, I eat them,” Ed replied.

“That’s fucking sick.”

“No more sick than fast food if you ask me,” Ed said.

“You’re eating human flesh, how can you do that? Isn’t that illegal?”

“I have special permission. Most people don’t know about it because I don’t make it public. Sorry you had to hear that,” Ed said.

“What? You have a permit?”

“No, they passed it as part of some farm bill, hid it in there so nobody would know. You can look it up online.”

“They passed a law just for you?” Wagner asked.

“Yes, sort of, it was one line in a huge farm bill. They mix up shit all the time in different bills. It’s all legal, I have connections to three hospitals for supplies.
