  “Is it over now?” she asked.

  “Pretty much; just sentencing next week. They’ll all get life I reckon.”

  “I hope so, I really do, even Esther’s husband. I feel so sorry for her but what they did, urgh, it still makes me shudder even now.”

  “Do you know what? The thing I still can’t figure out is who moved Rosen and filled that god-awful hole in. The police never found the hole, or the scythe for that matter. I’m sure both bits of him are down there, underneath all of that dirt, and that’s where he belongs for sure, gone and forgotten, but…..do you think they did that too? You know, Buster and Gracie?”

  “I know you didn’t see what I saw, the way they got Rosen, but if you had, you would believe they could do it, so yes, that’s the answer I have in my mind and that’s enough for me.”

  “Me too then, and I have no intention of digging him up, let him rot there. I’m just glad I don’t black out every time I hear a cricket now. But that was it wasn’t it? The girl from Vietnam, I think the last thing she heard was the sound of crickets, and poor little Gracie too. I think the last thing she saw or heard were crickets. I don’t know how but I am sure they got together to send me those flashbacks”. He rose from his chair, tossing the newspaper aside. “Anyway enough of this; let me help you get those muddy boots off then you can get yourself warm and relax, and I’ll make you a hot drink, a woman in your condition…..”

  “Yes, I know, a woman in my condition has to take it easy. Thank you Mr Saunders.”

  “You are most welcome Mrs Saunders.”
