“Let’s go inside, and see what’s happening,” Chief Olson said. “Looks like Sam Baxter over there. I know him pretty well. He’ll fill us in.” Chief Olson led the way, and Steve followed.

“Sam! I haven’t seen you face-to-face for at least a year, right?”

“Well, I’ll be darned. If it isn’t Chief Mark Olson.” He offered his handshake, grinning from ear to ear. His hair seemed a lot greyer than when Chief Olson had last seen him. This job will do it to you, he thought. “Good to see you, Sam. Wish it was under better circumstances, though. This is Officer Tratnik…Sheriff Baxter.”

Sam was an older man with grayish-white hair and a tall, muscular physique. Moustache and all, he was an impressive man, with blue-gray eyes that could look right through you. He always had a natural instinct about people and always read them very well.

“I figured you would be retired by now, Sam.”

“Not me. You know there’s nothing else here for me to do, so I’ll stay as long as they’ll keep me. I like this job, and it keeps me out of trouble. Since Ellie passed almost a year ago; I’d be lost without the job. Keeps my mind busy.”

“Sorry to hear about Ellie. I didn’t know. You have my belated condolences.”

“Thanks, Markus. I should have let you know, but sometimes life just gets away from you, and you don’t reel in all the loose ends with old friends. It’s a shame, but nonetheless true. I just sunk my teeth into the work and tried hard not to think too much. Things are a lot better now. I’m sure glad to see you, though. Mrs. Dirkshire was an incredible woman. Her brother John passed away not long ago. He was sick for quite a while. He kept her company for years after his wife passed. I liked old John, too. Just awful what happened to Mrs. Dirkshire. Many people around here are going to miss her. Such a sweet and cheerful lady any time you saw her. Sam Baxter went on.
