The phone rang again around ten. It was Serena again.“I just wanted to tell you about the autopsy,” she said. “My mother called to let me know, and I thought you might want to hear about it, too.”“Yes, I do.”“It was a heart attack,” Serena said. “Massive. That’s what the doctor said. Massive.”“So he died quickly,” Kinley said before he could stop himself.“And so young,” Serena said. “I guess that’s why they wanted an autopsy.”“Who did?”“Mr. Warfield,” Serena said, “the District Attorney, the man he worked for.”“Ray was working for the District Attorney’s Office?”“Yeah. He didn’t run for Sheriff again. Didn’t he tell you that?”“No.”“Well, I guess he just got tired of it, decided not to run. That’s when he took this job with the District Attorney.”“I see.”“Anyway, Mr. Warfield wanted an autopsy.”“It’s probably a good idea.”“You know about this kind of thing, I guess. From your work, I mean.”“A little.”“He was a good man,” Serena said. “I’m just sorry he had to die alone, way down in the canyon.” She hesitated a moment, then added, “Looking for something, I guess. What do you think it was?”Kinley shook his head silently. Maybe just a way through the vines, he thought.
