DOA, Chapter 20

“Now what do we do, sir? John Doe Number One’s DNA led us to Butterscotch Chip, who still has his left leg and foot.”

“We wrap up this case, kid.”

“But, sir, what about John Doe Number Two?”

“Jay Dee Two’s a red herring.”

“You mean he’s not a left foot after all?”

“No. I mean he’s a distraction. That left foot has nothing to do with this case. Just like so many other things. Come join me in a bowl of crock-pot creamy chipped beef and cheese, and I’ll tell you all about it.

“You made it, sir?”

“Yes, I most certainly did! You’re soaking in it.”
