Out on the edge of the fearful ledge see Tracy and KadaverAbner quite the chatterbox, no end to his palaver.Stab and punch. Duck and shoot. Until both men are bleedingTracy calm under duress, yet first aid he is needing.“Die, Tracy die!” Abner does cry, his desperation growingReady to fall along with Dick, yet all the while knowingHe’s seen the last of Rikki, she was his better halfCould barely bear the sight of him, yet he could make her laugh.A midnight ride in the Death Coach, deadly deeds forgottenHe’d hold her hand, feeling grand, forget that he was rotten.As he and Tracy take the plunge into the dark abyssKadaver has but one regret, the gal whom he shall miss.Tracy made of sterner stuff. He won’t leave Tess so fairBreaking through the guardrail, he plummets through the air.Who shall live and who shall die? Farewell, the great Detective?Abner’s suicidal plan both foolish and defective.
