Brennan and Vincent in “The Dwarf in the Dirt”

Brennan

The only markings we know for sure came before the sinkhole are these three little nicks on his ribs.

Vincent

Could he have been stabbed?

Brennan

With what?

Vincent

The world's dullest knife.

Brennan

Perhaps something along the lines of a dull hatchet.

Vincent

To a little person a hatchet would be the equivalent of an ax. Assuming the accomplice was already lying in wait, surely he would have had the forethought to bring a more suitable weapon.

Brennan

Like a gun.

Vincent

Or a giant sword. Or a gun.
