just a single guard to make sure he's really dead for a night and to keep the cats and dogs from having a go at it
Incidentally, this is something I agonized over in "Grind." We have a hungry dog complaining about how there's nothing to eat, and there's a fresh corpse right there. :P But for obvious reasons I didn't want to touch that with a ten-foot-pole, and I decided to handwave it with "I don't know how long it takes before pets start eating their owners, but hopefully longer than 10 minutes?" And then cahn didn't call me on it while betaing, so I just went "la la la" in hopes no one would notice. ;)
There are other major plot holes that I agonized over, but so far, aside from Heinrich's mishandling of Fritz, no one's called me on them either, phew. My excuse for all is the deadline!
