The solicitor tried to comfort Tony, who wasn’t the kind of person you tried to comfort. Instead he asked DI Jackson.
“How can we be sure it’s Mr Monelli’s brother you found?”
“We can’t yet,”replied Jackson, “until we do a dental records or DNA check. The body was covered in slime. However, apparently the victim was missing all eight fingers.”
Hearing this, despite his anguish, Tony screamed “No, it ain’t Terry, he’s still alive. I know it. I’m his twin!”
The DI and solicitor exchanged a single look.
Jackson tried more questions for a while, but then called a halt.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Tony will be "calling a halt" to a few people before this is all said and done!

You may be right, unless they’re one step ahead of him... but on the other hand, he’s survived this long at the top of the pile so maybe he does have a sixth sense, but I guarantee that Terry is not going to do a Bobby Ewing that’s for sure.

Thanks very much Drew. I really appreciate the feedback... and if ever you feel I’m losing my way, or losing the audience, please don’t hold back from telling me. Thanks too for the congrats. It’s writing these long numbers that clocks up the drabbles, but I get so involved...🙂
