Airfield
“Granger's invited her to, I put together a few things for Moss: a wedge of cornbread, two deviled eggs, and a slice of watermelon. Also a bar of soap.
The girls I met yesterday are going in the Mirage as I pull my bike onto the highway, and Julie Elise calls, "Hey, Dallas!" "Hey!" I call back, but I don't stop. "I'll try to catch you this afternoon." It's so late I'm afraid Moss might have already left to go job hunting, but he's out front of the old caboose when I get there.
"I told you I don'...t need handouts," he says.
"And I don't need ingratitude. I'll wait while you wash up." Moss looks like he's trying to decide whether to challenge me. Then he smiles a bit. "You wait inside, then. The only water I got's out here." He's done a lot of straightening since yesterday. A holey blanket, tied back to let in light and fresh air, has replaced the missing door. Almost all the mess has been hauled to a pile out back.
Only that tangle of parts is left. They're spread across the counter.MoreLess
