Another anonymous message. It must be from Sparrow -- But I thought she was out of town?? Anyways, I gave it to the police this time. Robbie thinks she'd never go through with her threats, but I don't want to find out the hard way.
5.6 Married!
DD,
We’re married! Robbie and I flew off after the show and eloped! Now our vacation is a honeymoon! Nothing could spoil my happiness -- not even Sparrow!
5.7 Brawler is gone
DD,
Brawler is gone. I can hardly believe the news. I feel so, guilty somehow, and so very sad...
But he went the way he wanted to, in the ring, spurs and blood flying.
Oh, DD, despite the tough times we had together, we had some good times too. I never wished him ill. Robbie has been very sweet about it. He seems to understand that I don't love Brawler anymore, but I do love the good times we had together. And who could wish such a terrible bloody death on anyone? Even one who gloried in it.
The funeral is tomorrow.
Robbie and I fly back tonight.
Chapter 6: Murder Most Fowl
CLIPPING: Murder Most Fowl
The city was shocked today by a senseless murder among the birderati. Cock Robin, the dynamic pilot and author, was shot to death by an arrow through the heart this morning as he was leaving the funeral of the popular cockfighter, "The Barnyard Brawler." Mr. Robin had escorted his recent bride, the celebrated actress, La Pulcina Piccola to pay their respects to the fallen pugilist who recently suffered his tragic death in the ring. It was common knowledge that La Pulcina Piccola and the Brawler had been more than just friends. Now she has lost not one friend but two. Police are investigating the Sparrow's whereabouts at the time of the murder.
