Gabe’s body was lying on a meza, jedwali in the basement of the Salvatore Boarding House. Stefan was leaning mbele to get a closer look, when he heard a door open and close.
“I’m down here!” he yelled, before the visitor could call him. Rushing down the stairs and an instant later Tyler appeared. “Glad wewe could come so fast”
“You alisema it was important” Tyler replied scrupulously.
“It is” Stefan confirmed. He nodded at the body. “I need wewe to…sniff this one. I want to know who killed him”
“You want me to sniff him?” Tyler asked with raised eyebrows.
“Pretty much” Stefan answered. “You’re the only one who can do this, so please, as a friend?”
Tyler rolled his eyes and sighed. “You owe me for this” He leaned mbele and sniffed. Then he looked at Stefan.
“Do wewe recognize the scent?” Stefan asked.
“I’ve only smelled it once before” Tyler started. “When Veronica introduced me to a woman named Rachel. alisema she was basically a mother to her”
“So Rachel killed her husband?” Stefan alisema in a way as if he already knew that.
“Looks like it” Tyler replied.
