Day 830
Day 830 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Truman Beaumont demands an investigation into a bench. Sheriff Brody obliges, unhurriedly. Rex Callahan is not currently speaking to Edie Gorse. Rex Callahan is cooling off in the Sheriff's holding cell after the business at The Anchor. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Orchard Gate runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
