I told the detective in charge everything that happened. What I did; the faces; how I killed that man.
"Well," the detective says. "We can conclude that it was self-defense, Miss Bedwen. If you actually killed a man. We haven't found the body."
"Have you examined the blood?" grandpa asked.
"We have," the detective said. "It will take some time to determine whose it is, if we even have it in our system. We'd also like Miss Bedwen's clothes, for evidence. And a blood sample to analyze for the blocker. And to test against the other blood."
"I need fresh clothes, then," I said.
"I asked Detective Taylor to collect them," grandpa said.
"You told Jack what happened?" I asked grandpa.
"Somebody told him," grandpa said. "But that was inevitable. You couldn't keep it a secret from him."
