Billy and his Uncle John spend the morning in the hayfield with Pops and Peters until they are interrupted by a police car passing by on its way to an unsettling scene and the mysterious girl who discovered it.

“Suddenly, a shrill sound began to overpower the steady chorus of nature. I turned back to the road to see a Jefferson County Sheriff cruiser speeding by and disappearing beyond the tree line towards the creek, a fire truck right behind.”
