Adam: The Beekeeper Chronicles, Chapter Forty-Eight

Gladys taped garbage bags over the broken windows. When Dante came back down, she asked “So what do we do with a body? I assume you have experience.”

Dante crushed another chunk of brain underfoot. “Leave it overnight, I guess. Get the door covered. Make sure the heat is off in here. I’ll get in touch with someone.”

“You have someone for this?”
