"Sarah", he said in a throaty whisper. "This is, like, the perfect hole."
The chief put him on administrative leave. What is it with men and holes?

So it was just me. I was just tending to the cows when I got a message. The Law Speaker of Sausage Fest needed a moment of my time. Someone was missing. I got permission from the Chief and quickly traveled.
Apocalypse Please met me at the idol. As he walked me to the small village nearby where the missing person lived, he told me the story. There wasn't much to it.
"Got me two neighbors," Apoc said, pipe in his mouth. "Now I got one. One moment Eddy was talking to Cat, then suddenly Eddy cried out for help, and then a bit later, he shouted "Stop!". His hearthfire's gone dark, and we can't find a body."
"How do you know he was murdered, then?"
"Because the killer left a note".
I searched around for a good while, but I couldn't find any signs of attack. But whatever it was, this was odd. Eddy's personal claim was gone, and given everything else, he must have drowned. There was no other explanation.
Told Apoc that I'd keep an eye out, and then I went to ground. Put out my feelers. Asked people if they'd heard anything. Sure enough, the Criminal came to brag. That's the nature of the Criminal mind. Egos the size they imagine their dicks are.
Mr. Incognito was seen bragging that he'd found Eddy wandering around, and threatened him. Said that if he got rid of his personal claim, his life would be spared. After that, he told him to swim the river. Said if he could swim the river, Eddy would live. Eddy tried, and died.
Mr. Icognito is wanted for questioning in relation to the death of Eddy, near the village of Sausage Fest. Information leading to his detention and questioning will be rewarded in Edelweis.
If Mr. Icognito turns himself over voluntarily, he'll be heard and tried by a jury of his peers. If he is guilty and runs, I'll have him put down.
Case status: OPEN
