A few hours later Tom Barnaby who was an aging man in his 60's. He was devoted to his wife Joyce and daughter had been called to a deserted house named Winyard when the garrotted bodies of Peter and Caroline Cave had been discovered in their car.

George Bullard was on scene conducting his investigation. He was older than Tom and greyer. He smiled when he saw Tom "Tom" George said "No Scott this morning?" Enquired George

"No he's called in sick. I'm on my own" replied Tom looking at the two bodies

"Oh he'll be sorry he missed this. One for the connoisseur" George smirked

Tom added "The postman found them garrotted"

George then said "Probably why we all went off the Costa Blanca"

They both heard someone behind them laughing. They turned around to see a young man in his early 30's in a PC uniform, he looked handsome in his police uniform.

Tom said "And you are?"

The young police officer replied "Constable Jones, sir"

"Constable Jones" Tom repeated

Jones picked up a brochure they had in their car "Oh they were house hunting"

"Whoever did this must have been waiting for them in the back" Tom observed, he then asked Jones "What do you think Constable Jones?"

Jones was full of observations "Well, he could only kill them one at a time, couldn't he sir? So why didn't the other one put up a fight? If the other was killed before the other one got in, why didn't he notice? Unless there were two murderers"

Tom smirked "What? Both hiding in the back?"

Jones replied "If the killer did get in here, they must have both been out of the vehicle at the time, leaving it unlocked"

Tom added "Then they got back in one at a time"

Jones then exclaimed "And he killed them one at a time" he then smiled and jokingly said "I don't think i could sit down next to a corpse and not know it sir"

Tom wasn't impressed by Jones' last comment.
