If there was a real skeleton, there was a real crime.
Dean looked back at Fred in the rear view mirror but there was no hint of clarification.
But if there was an old skeleton up there, I wonder whose it could be?
And if Martha's discovery had been substituted with the theater prop, he'd bet his boots there was an empty trunk out there somewhere!
I read all the weekly newspapers and there was no mention of any foul play, but this little ad caught my attention.
In September, there was another ad.
But there was a real skeleton.
While there was a feeling of last-guy-in-turn-off-the-elevator, the Deans reluctantly agreed that some form of management was necessary to maintain order in the face of the ever-increasing numbers who wallowed in nature's wonders.
They waited, and after a few seconds there was the distinct sound of movement above them.
He had just started toward his Jeep when there was a sound like a gunshot from above them.
The escape was less than stealthy, and it was impossible to tell if there was more than one pair of feet.
We assumed the skeleton would have been discovered if there was activity in there.
He said it out loud, but there was no one close enough to hear.
Dean crawled on his hands and knees, peering under the vehicle for Billy's young girlfriend but there was no one else, only a liquor bottle—unlike its victim, unbroken.
She looked up, somehow seeming small in spite of her height, but there was fire in her eyes.
He sat on a sofa while she settled into a leather rocker where she'd evidently been sitting, as there was a nearly empty pint of vodka on the table next to her.
Going too damned fast, but there was no one else there.
The remainder of the meeting rocked back and forth, but there was no doubt in Dean's mind that he'd been hurt badly—and unfairly—by Fitzgerald.
When she hung up, there was a questioning look on her face.

If there was a tear in her eye, she covered it well.
He told Lydia about Fitzgerald buying the vodka on the morning of the Fourth of July, denying it, and saying at the debate that there was liquor in Billy's vehicle when he, Dean, felt there wasn't.

He brought Cynthia up to speed on his meeting with Lydia after confirming there was no further word on Martha's disappearance.
Aside from Larkin, there was only an elderly clerk who neither looked up nor spoke.
I did run the prints and there was no hit.
But there was the little problem of the pack of cigarettes Martha clearly described as being with the bones in the Lucky Pup Mine.
The Deans jumped at every ring of the phone for the balance of the afternoon, but there was no further word.
Dean wondered if there was another, more sinister reason for Paul Dawkins' silence on the subject—that he was the murderer of his wife's natural father.
By the time we became an item, my mother was dead and there was no reason in his mind to resurrect old ghosts.
When there was a lady around, Fred O'Connor was always in good hands.
This time there was no doubt that Lydia laughed but didn't answer.
There was attorney Faust but there was no proof he had even set foot in Bird Song.
He telephoned but there was no answer.
No. But there was a lot of blood.
While Dean's mind whirled with this latest news, there was nothing he could do but let it play out.
Besides, there was a good chance Billy would never see what Fitzgerald retrieved.
He told us there was gold in the mine.
Both men felt the old man had probably killed him, but Westlake's brief disclosure was insufficient to pursue the matter and as both men were dead, there was little incentive to do so.
She didn't understand how, when there was so much beauty around her.
He shut down her ability to use the portals, just in case there was something else going on.
Why did no one tell me there was so much pleasure?
What if there was?

Andre's patient smile reminded him of how there was a time when he never would've considered asking for such a favor.
Or risk that there was something else going on that would drive his mate back to Darkyn for whatever reason.
The movements seemed to start there, circle around the lake then drop, as if there was an invisible wall.
Cora was loyal to Gabriel but wanted to go home, and right now, the only way there was through Darkyn.
Sometimes, he thought there was none of the human left at all, just an incarnated goddess whose fascination with her new world extended to him.
On a mission to ensure there was a clean slate between his mate and Darkyn, Gabriel waited in the middle of Deidre's old apartment for the Dark One to arrive.
Andre was the only one who seemed to think there was a reason for Gabriel to be here, and Gabriel trusted Andre more than both Deidres and Darkyn combined.
The faded signs of massive scarring were on one side of her neck while there was blood on the other, as if someone had just hurt her.

And then there was the baby she and Alex had lost before it reached full term.
Whether there was someone else in her life at this point or she was alone was a mystery.
But there was something else – something that might actually be at the core of Lori's resistance.
She had always imagined how it would be, but there was no way she could have imagined how wonderful it actually was.
Throughout the night she checked regularly to see if there was any change.
Tests revealed normal brain function, and there was no indication of any permanent damage.
And then there was the fact that it might frighten Jonathan.
The doctor said there was no reason for him to remain in a coma and he might wake up any day.
For a few seconds there was silence on the other end of the line.
Otherwise, there was no indication of understanding.
As long as he was improving, there was hope.
But there was no good way.
And then there was the embarrassing thought of having to call the doctor and explain how he got in that condition.
And then there was that other thing – their love life, or lack thereof.
Still, there was the change in their love life.
Then there was Katie.
Maybe there was something to what Katie was saying.
Short of fighting him off as she would an attacker, there was nothing she could do but submit.
The kitchen had been completely remodeled and there was a ceiling fan in every room.
For a few minutes there was an uncomfortable silence at the table.
Maybe things would have been different... but there was no point thinking about that.
Deidre turned to see if there was someone behind her the stranger spoke to.
For example, before you ran into her in the mortal world, there was a ninety seven percent chance you would've killed her the first time you met.
She told him a million times there was no way she was going to marry him then turn around and die.
Though her hair was pink, there was no mistaking the delicate facial features, porcelain skin and large eyes of the woman who tormented him his entire life then dumped the underworld on him.
This time, there was no mistaking the weapons lining his trench coat or the sword along one thigh.
Gabriel asked, sensing there was more to the demon lord's journey from Hell.
Just because she knew there was a shadow society didn't mean everyone she ran into was part of it!
Daniela knew me and there was a man on the beach when we landed.
Despite the bitter words, there was regret on Wynn's face.
His bed was made, and there was no body on the floor.
She thought she was going crazy already; if she really started to deteriorate, there was no way she'd be able to handle it.
She trusted him without question and yet, there was more to him than she really knew.
He appeared normal, unassuming, but there was something otherworldly in his eyes that warned her he wasn't normal.
She stopped a dozen meters before the edge of the forest, wondering if there was any sort of hazard in being so close to whatever it was causing the lake to be green in the first place.
Was this all there was after one died?
Whatever she faced there was a million times better than whatever she faced away from him.
No matter what he said, she'd heard enough about past-Deidre to understand there was much more to their relationship.
This time, there was no waiting.
The souls were barely glimmering; there was no way he'd be able to pull the amount of power he needed to save Deidre.
Aside from the greeting, there was no warmth between them at all.
She wasn't willing to consider it, not when there was the issue of her pending demise between here and there.
I mean, I thought there was … is there?
Disgusted, she was also relieved there was no pain.
Except that Fate said there was.
This response was more guarded, less amused, enough to tip off Deidre that there was more to the story.
Aside from the birth certificate, there was no way the rest were official police papers!
He resembled his father in height and narrow face, though there was warmth in his father's face she didn't see in his.
This was worse than ledge walking in the hotel; there was no balcony to catch her!
This time, there was no mistaking the tattoos on their bodies.
When there was silence, she felt the beast approach her, its bloodied fangs at the same level as her head.
Maybe there was a way out of it yet.
Maybe there was a part of him that didn't want to undo whatever he'd done.
This time, there was none.
Katie dug in, unconcerned with the woman's silence while there was food in front of her.
She expected someone to be angry that there was a man in the women's wing.
Five sets of predatory eyes fell to her, as if realizing there was a lame lamb in their midst.
Katie wondered if she'd shocked her that badly or if there was some other reason Molly was so surprised.
She.d spent the day in thought after her talk with Gabriel, and there was only one solution that might drive Rhyn away before she and Gabriel hurt him.
Hannah never traveled light, and there was no way of knowing what Kris was doing.
The Council meeting was a bust, and there was more tension in the air than he could understand.
He.d thought he crossed the only line that mattered by selling out the Immortals but found there was another he wasn.t ready for.
She didn.t know if there was a second gym where other Immortal mates were, but Kris had said Hannah would be down.
Now, there was something else to consider.
You say there was one in Ully.s lab?
Maybe there was a chance he could leave Hell and come back to Kris.
Though there was a wall of Immortals between her and the forest, she felt the demon watching her, waiting for its opening, now that she was no longer protected.
His people's hope had turned to desperation in the hands of the Yirkin when every sun-cycle passed and there was no nishani.
That there was a better chance of her selling art if she painted something no one else on earth could imagine?
A'Ran's behavior was just as distant, but there was something bordering on resentment in the way Ne'Rin looked at her that made her uncomfortable.
Her directness and pure courage-- there was no other word for her insubordinate address!-- amazed him.
Once again, there was too much behind his simple statement for her to address.
She wondered what life would be like with someone like him, or if he was so bound to duty, there was no room for real affection.
With there being no current battle, there was nothing to test her.
And she walked away without another word, confused as to why she had wanted him to say there was more to why he chose her than because it was his duty.
It was not possible that any man could take her or that there was any place she could go that he could not find her.
She'd thought the planet completely dead, but there was a bright patch of green grass beneath her and the pod.
If there was grass, there was bound to be water somewhere.
She rustled through the pod to see if there was any water or food.
The thick stone door behind her slid closed, and there was a pause before another door opened in front of her.
Yet there was no earth or place for them to grow around her.
Shaken, she leaned against the nearest wall and sank into a sit, disgusted to see there was blood on her clothing.
It grew straight from the stone; there was no dirt or planter.
We don't know what Bird Song was at the turn of the century, just that there was a building or some sort on this site.
Edith looked up at the ceiling once more but in a few moments there was only silence.
It's not even my jurisdiction, even if there was something I could do.
The note was undated and if there was a return address or an envelope, it was lost over the years.
Before Dean could let loose with a torrent of pithy comments, there was another knock on the door and Donnie entered the room.
However, as there was almost no break between words, they could never be sure the double characters were in the same words and not the beginning and ending of different words or sentences.
Perhaps there was an earlier Mrs. Martin who died?
Cynthia asked when Ryland mentioned there was no charge.
I looked through the whole month of January but there was nothing about a girl named Annie dying.
Dean agreed and telephoned Janet O'Brien from the hall but there was no answer.
Most guys were off fighting the war so there was lots of empty slots.
The new Beaumont hotel was all a glitter in preparation of an affair of some high social order and there was a general excitement everywhere.
Then there was only silence and the night sounds of the old building as Cynthia lay awake next to this man she loved.
Dean took a deep breath, half expecting Ryland to demand that Edith leave, but there was only silence.
The business didn't stop, although there was a lot of talk in the newspapers about closing down all the bars and clubs.
He called her again as soon as he rose, but she had apparently left earlier as there was no answer.
Fred followed but there was little time for conversation.
Before Dean could answer, there was an almost inaudible knock at the door.
For the second time in a few minutes, there was a knock on the door.
He concluded there was a major element he was missing.
She recalled with bitterness how he'd plied her with potion, falsely igniting her deep seeded passions until there was no turning back from his rampant lust.
Before Dean could answer, there was a knock on the front door and he rose to answer it.
He worried about not hearing from Cynthia, but there was little he could do.
It seemed to Dean she'd spent her life on the outside, in some respects by choice, somehow driven from one social plane down to another, much lower, until there was nothing left but death.
When they arrived in Ouray there was a mutual understanding all that lay between them had not been discussed.
I guess there was death—but not scary death—only inevitable, the-time-has-come kind of passing.
But more than anything else, there was love at Bird Song.
And there was Fred, no trouble but not getting any younger.
Then there was Cynthia's recent additional fear.
During the two weeks there was a Mexican dinner at the Catholic church, a couple of movies, three evenings at the Ouray Hot Springs Pool and even a day of downhill skiing at Telluride.
Nope. That was all there was.
By the time we got to the end of Annie's notebook, there was more than enough pages transcribed that anyone could decipher the last few pages.
Now there was a chance she didn't kill herself.
The room was empty and there was no reason for anyone to look in there.
She would set up transfusions if there was danger the human might die, and had to twice for Cassandra.
Normally, he would have had a bottle of scotch and some ice sent to the room, but today there was no time.
Coming through the clearing to where the park benches were, he realized there was only one person.
Where most houses would have a deck, there was a large studio, with professional lighting and lots of glass.
Normally he wouldn't go more than a few hours without thinking about his next meal, but Elisabeth filled his thoughts so completely, there was no room for anything else.
His lip had started to heal, but there was still evidence of a burn.
He was instructed to go ahead; there was no need to request an audience.
Why couldn't Katie understand that there was a principle involved?
I thought we agreed there was no point in using your mother's old dishes when we could just serve our food from the pans we cook it in?
Now there was a thought.
At least he noticed there was a goat in the picture.
Now there was a thought - not a very nice one, either.
Thanks to him, there was nothing in the barn that couldn't wait.
Obviously there was a mutual physical attraction between them, but that was all.
Of course, there was no reason to refuse.
This time there was nothing timid about his kiss.
Yes, there was where the goat had entered, but how long ago, and where was Tessa now?
Katie tried to keep her inside, but there was too much to do.
He wouldn't be caught dead with a bouquet of wildflowers and there was no way he was going to waste money on flowers that would wither and die within a week.
She was surprised to see him with Lori, rolling in the hay - and there was no question about what was going on this time.
They had an entire week, so there was no need to rush into a conversation that might spoil everything.
She wanted to strike out at someone - anyone, but there was no one to blame for this situation.
Yet there was more at stake here than Brutus.
It would be encouraging him - indicating there was still a chance.
Obviously they thought there was something sordid to hide.
Unfortunately, there was nothing to quicken the healing of his neck.
His instinct told him there was something else going on aside from the insurgents and Lana leaving.
From Dan's whiplike body to Brady's feline-like musculature to the stranger's towering frame, there was no mistaking them for normal soldiers.
Tell me there was something!
His instincts warned him there was no stopping someone like General Greene, once he set out to find someone.
She refused, knowing there was too much at stake for her to dwell in her emotions.
The eight-hour ordeal to get there was worth the ten-minute conversation.
Another shot pierced the tense darkness, then there was a flurry of movement.
She sensed there was something behind his words.
Similar to Brady, there was no remorse in his admittance, and her throat tightened.
As much as she didn't want to admit it, there was no way of knowing who the bad guys were, not with Mr. Tim's information about the shadow government.
Pressing her thumb to her door, she realized there was light lining the windows of the condo beside hers.
Aside from her bed, wardrobe, and a couch, there was nothing else in the apartment.
Now that there was no government, she was nothing!
He hoped there was some clue at her home.
At the first drop of laser missiles, Brady had figured there was one thing that would make the fed jets target the inconsequential town, and it was Lana.
The words chilled him from the inside out. There was one way he'd leave Katie, and that was if he was dead-dead.
The place where Katie touched him in his dream stung. Rhyn moved out of the drizzle, close to the fire, and peeled off his shirt. There was a welt resembling a bee sting where she'd touched him.
The angel was still shivering despite the fire. He needed dry clothes and probably, human food. There was one place where Rhyn could find them.
Rhyn sensed there was more to Gabriel's thought, but he wasn't about to stand around talking when Katie was out there somewhere, being stalked by Death.
He'd paid in advance for two assignations after he began to suspect there was a traitor in his organization. The second had been for Katie, in case she couldn't be reasoned with.
Ully cursed as he moved to seek cover from the downpour. Safe beneath his jungle roof, Toby watched him. The brave, cheerful Ully that sat with him in Hell seemed lost in the underworld, and Toby began to suspect there was another reason their jailer, Jared, had freed them.
Unable to sleep without knowing the truth, Toby huddled beneath the jungle leaves and stretched his senses until he found Katie. He couldn't put her in more danger, if there was something wrong with Ully. She was close enough for him to find when he needed to. If he kept some distance between him and Katie, he could figure out what was wrong with Ully without endangering her more.
So there was someone!
And no regrets about what I did, though the few days I've spent here make me wonder if there was an easier way.
The death-dealer smiled faintly. Rhyn trotted away from him, out of the palace and into the jungle. He suspected freeing Katie from Death would be easier than freeing Gabe from Death. There was more at stake for her if she lost Gabe.
Fear made Rhyn's chest seize. No sooner had Gabe spoken the words than the demons fell away. Coldness snapped over Rhyn, and his surroundings blurred. He blinked, uncertain what happened until he found himself standing in a dimly lit chamber. Kris and Gabe were still beside him, and instead of demons, there was only Death.
His words made Rhyn's throat tighten. He'd never acted in order to gain his brothers' favor, but Kris's words affected him more than he thought they would. There was a flash of light and Kris was gone. Gabe jerked, as if surprised to find himself still standing.
I didn't really care, I wasn't sure there was anything out there for me after high school.
Francie was waiting and there was cold beer in the fridge.
Birds sang in the mature trees that ringed the deck and there was a country smell of spring.
She was alone at the time but McCarthy would not leave until there was someone with her.
Phil Riley, Janice's husband, telephoned Virginia several times but there was no additional news.
Between job, commuting and home life there was little extra time.
He rocked back in his chair and added, There was a little shindig for the marketing guy—Fletch Brunell.
Apart from the pictures, there was nothing personal in or on the desk.
The two-story home had been built in the depression years and although there was little land around it, it was comfortable, well constructed and had answered Dean's limited needs—at least "temporarily"—for the past 15 years.
I haven't finished but I'll tell you, I haven't met anyone who thought there was a ghost of a chance he was fooling around.
Norfolk called to confirm Dean's flight, adding there was nothing much new on the case from their end.
In the rural areas, there was less concern with traffic, although an occasional farm dog forced him to practice his sprints.
Dean explained he'd just arrived in Norfolk and there was nothing new in the search for her husband's body.
I'll explain how we found out when I see you, but there was only one person in the room the whole time.
When he replayed his dictated first draft, the report seemed dry but the evidence produced an overwhelming endorsement that there was no logical reason why Jeffrey Byrne might skip.
Take my word for it, there was no business reason for Jeff to be having lunch with Cece Baldwin—just monkey business.
They climbed the stairs but there was no sign of life and no answer to knocks.
Fred mentioned there was no name on the mailbox for apartment C. Mrs. Glass said there had been a name the last time she was there, a couple of weeks ago.
Mrs. Glass said there was someone named Pat Corbin living in the same apartment as Cleary.
Nor had Burgess heard any noise or conversation from apartment C to indicate there was anyone there—much less more than one person.
Once again there was no evidence to make Jeffrey Byrne's death anything but an accidental drowning.
Finally, there was a nice, solid brick wall ending speculation on this matter.
Although the heavy rain was holding off, there was a feeling it was only a matter of time before the full fury hit.
Had she awoken, there was no doubt she'd be petrified by his actions in the nearly dark room.
She should have had a hot shower but there was no way he was going to tackle that chore.
The flight was on schedule and thankfully there was little time for forced conversation.
Then he added, but it's a fact there was a motor home there.
It was three miles before he came to a closed gas station, but there was a phone booth outside.
And there was a smell of cigarette smoke, a definite no-no, one of the few points on which he and the old man agreed.
Dean was sure it was Nota and Homer Flanders, looking for information on where Vinnie Baratto was hidden, but there was nothing in the house to tell them.
The only decision he'd made was to do nothing until there was clear evidence tying Byrne to the money.
Dean had polished the report, adding more positive detail but not in any way referencing the Scranton connection, if there was one.
He opened the refrigerator but there was no more beer—only a lot of empty cans scattered around the room.
Then there was the apartment rental with Burgess's identification of Byrne, however tenuous, followed by the newspaper subscription and the motor home purchase.
And there was no sign of Jeffrey Byrne, in person, in conversation or in spirit.
When I got home, there was a note on the fridge.
As it turned out, there was no decision to make.
When they entered the building, there was only an empty corridor.
But there was a plus to Dean's first day in the west.
Many of the bikers knew one another and there were groups traveling together, but there was equal representation of couples and solo bikers.
It wasn't a common name and there was little chance it was a coincidence.
Although there was a scattering of other bikers, he was sure the bright yellow windbreaker would be easy to spot, unless the biker became lost in a large pack.
Ol' Arthur didn't believe us when we told him there was a contract out on him and he went back out on the street.
You wanted to know what was happening back in Parkside—if there was any mention of the money or Byrne reporting it.
He got upset and opened them to see if there was a name.
He looked me up when he came to Scranton and I could tell there was going to be trouble.
Suddenly, there was a sound at the door—a key being inserted into the lock.
And then there was the issue of one person making decisions.
No matter what happened to his relationship or hers, there was no going back now.
No one seemed to think there was any reason for them to wait.
After Dad died, there was neither time nor emotional strength for a pet.
The mornings and evenings had been packed with chores, but there was usually time during the middle of the day to enjoy some time outside.
Maybe there was someone else – someone more sophisticated and not so much of a prude.
I didn't say there was anything sick about it.
Of course, there was always adoption.
Putting the food in the oven to keep it warm, she decided there was enough time to feed the horses before he arrived.
If there was one thing she didn't need to do, it was talk to Lori about what was troubling them.
Not that there was anything to say.
Besides, there was nothing she could do at this point – nothing but pray.
Leaving the picture and her purse in the car, she decided to look around and see if there was a carcass.
Right now there was no excitement – only contentment.
Still, there was no place she specifically wanted to see.
Why spend the money when there was so much they wanted and needed to do right here?
But there was always a first time.
Actually, she only intended to ride along the forest line and see if there was any sign of deer.
I didn't mean to imply that there was anything wrong with the way you dress.
If he was in the mood for concessions, there was something else she would like to address.
Marriage was exactly what she expected and thought she would want – and yet there was something missing.
Actually, there was nothing sudden about her embarrassment.
When she was studying animal husbandry, there was a chapter about increasing fertility.
It was a question for which there was no answer.
Not that there was much left to say.
Even so, there was something else – something much more basic.
I thought there was something wrong with me.
As the saying went, there was more to being a father than planting the seed.
And yet, there was always the possibility of adoption — maybe sometime in the future — maybe.
And then, there was the magic room upstairs, where she had spent many hours playing as a child — and many hours dreaming as a teen.
Of course he knows, and as soon as I told him there was a storm, he would have insisted on calling me back.
You know, there was something I always wanted to do when I was visiting in this house.
If she enjoyed the romantic side of him, it must be because there was a bit of romance deep inside her own heart.
It wasn't as if there was any basis for the feeling.
When she had cast aside all the jeans she couldn't wear, there was room for everything else.
Again she screamed for Alex, but there was no response.
But there was nothing — only a feeling of numbness.
The buffalo and longhorns were nowhere in sight, so there was no need to be concerned about their safety.
Anyway, there was the matter of being able to keep Jonathan.
His logic was sound, but there was still the situation with the chair.
Carmen watched him, knowing there was more.
Since there was nothing more they could do, they went home.
She'd thought it cloudy, for there was little light this morning.
The mortal world was raw and new, but there was no magic in it.
She didn't want to say it, but the bloodied immortal didn't look like he'd wake up for quite a while, especially if there was no Healer among the survivors.
Just the lone Guardian whose mission there was as hidden to the boy-god as the Original Being's.
Before your battle with the Other in Ireland, there was only one gateway open.
He sensed there was more.
Convincing herself it was only his magic, she couldn't help sensing once more there was something else between them.
Only there was now a wall at one end, he noted.
He didn't know if she still yearned for her husband during a time when marriages among servants were arranged, but there was nothing that could soothe the ache a mother felt at losing her child.
Did you see the memory where I watched you kill your first, and I still thought maybe there was some part of you that could be salvaged?
If she accepted, there was no going back, and she suspected Darian had already stacked the deck to win, whatever win meant to a wild man like him.
His heart ached to see his mate in such pain, but he knew from experience there was nothing more he could do.
Before Ireland, there was one gateway into the mortal world.
It'd have to be enough; there was no back-up this time.
Whether or not Jonny would ever know that same sense of peace, there was always a chance he could.
Because there was no other way.
Yet there was something in her haunted look and beautiful features that forbade him to harm her.
Few men would turn their back to him, and normally, when there was a woman in bed, he was not on the floor.
But when I asked the demon, it said there was no curse, that all I needed to do was tell it I wanted to heal.
He sensed there was much, much more in her carefully chosen words.
Today, there was only the demon to help me.
She shifted until there was a table between them, feeling very much like a cornered rabbit.
His face was still hidden in shadows, but there was little mistaking the tension in his frame.
If ever there was a born leader, it was the man meant to replace her.
