Super-Hero Super-Villain Part 3

Harris and Dawson made their way towards the Medical Examiner's room, neither knowing quite what to expect from the briefing.  The ME greeted them casually, as though there was nothing special to report. "Ah, Inspector Harris.  Come in please.  Dawson." 

He'd seen a lot of things, unusual, ugly, even sinister things in his time as Medical Examiner.  Harris knew the ME's casual approach may not reflect what he was about to tell the two policemen. 

"As you know, I don't usually deal with animals in my official capacity here.  But I was intrigued by what you told me about the case you stumbled upon the other day, Inspector."

Dawson looked over at Harris.  Harris' eyes were firmly fixed on the folder the ME was holding in his right hand. 

"It wasn't so much the animal that interested me as the containers your fellows found at the scene.  Yes, the animal was conected very much to those containers.  In the condition you found the carcass, it would have been difficult to tell..."

"What did you find?" Harris couldn't hide his impatience.  He was tired.  He hadn't slept well for a couple of months - since his wife had left.

"Glue." Replied the ME, obviously not used to being interrupted in that way.  "I found glue in the cannisters.  Lots of it."

"And the horse?"  asked Dawson, his curiosity getting the better of him.

"It's an old glue maker's recipe." Mumbled Harris, worried about what lay ahead of him and the potential horrors he and his team might shortly have to face.  "Glue can be made from animal connective tissues."
