The Sheriff closed the two doors, and wiped his forehead.
Damn, was it hot out!
He'd been for a routine patrol around the area, saying 'Hey' to the old folks in the squad car, which was in dire need of air con'.
He continued to his office and slumped in the chair, then rearranged his belt. Nate could hear Dean's TV buzzing away down the hall, so he knew that Deputy Richards was in.
Dayes bored eyes roamed the room, stopping at the gun cabinet...
It was slightly open. The gun cabinet wasn't something that Nate would normally leave open.
He stood up and headed over to it curiously, then opened it and recalled the amount of weapons that were in there yesterday.
The AK, the grenade, the shotguns and 3 handguns...
3 handguns?
There were four yesterday.
"Dean? Did you take a gun from here? Cause... We're missing a glock, Dean..." He called up the hall

Dean flicked peanutts into a ashtray and continued to watch For a few dollars more until Nate called down to him.
Dean pulled himself up off the chair and opened his door.
"Yo what the matter mate.......wait a minute did you say we missing a glock?"
Dean arched his left eyebrow and walked towards the deputy.

"Well...Last night, there was one here. I'm sure of it. Not anymore - you don't have it, do you?"
Nate began looking around the room casually. He didn't think that it was stolen, New Winchester wasn't the community, he just liked to keep the firearms in the cupboard.

"No i'm only packing my Berretta." Dean pulled out his handgun to show Nate.
"Man you think someone could have taken it? I mean it's a small community if someone have we could easily track it down....couldn't we?"
The deputy stared at the gun cupboard as if the answer would magically appear before his eyes.

"I...I don't think anyone would take it, Dean." Nate walked slowly away from the cabinet and towards the window overlooking the parking lot, and beyond that, the bar.
"I dunno, maybe this UFO bullshit has scared a few people. Maybe someone did take it."

Dean held the back of his hand to his mouth and coughed.
"C'mon you seriously think that UFO's are here? C'mon Nate you know better than me that this is just made up by some outsiders."
The deputy turned and looked at the sheriff.
"You want me to look for it?" Dean had no idea where to start if Nate agreed but then again a Glock wasn't something anyone should fool around with.
"Nate?" Dean asked again his voice a little lighter.

"Nah.." Nate said then gave a wry smile, "I'm sure it'll turn up."
The Sheriff sat down again in his leather bound seat, with a slight 'ah'.
"Ya' know. I'm normally a skeptic on this...alien...thing, but something tells me there's more to this." He stopped and leaned onto the desk in front of him. "Did you see the body that was brought in? Cut up to hell. It was missing bits, burned in places." Nate said, Dean raising an eyebrow at his statement. "It was found just outside town...And what the hell is going on with these field patterns, huh? Crop circles...pfft..."
It was as though the Sheriff was just venting his thoughts.

"Nate hoaxers have been doing crop circles for ages and ..." Dean paused and turned his head to the left slightly.
"What did the doctor say about the body?"
The deputy narrowed his eyes and looked out of the window before turning his attention back to the sheriff.
"It seems awfully quiet outside for the time of year doesn't it." Dean stated and then shook his head slightly.
"Anyway what did the doc say about the body?"

"Haven't had the report back yet." The Sheriff said. "I think i'm gunna go get a beer." He added and stood up.
It was definatly a plan in this heat.
"Coming, Dean?"

"Yeah why not." Dean left the office first and waited for the sheriff.
"You know back in Col there some people there that may know something about that body, if you ever want some outside talent."
Dean and Nate contiuned to walk towards the bar in silence, this place to Dean was awfully eerie for the time of year.
