Between the Living And the Dead
“He and Ivy sat on the steps into the backyard while Rhodes threw a squeaky ball for Speedo and Yancey. Speedo, a border collie, was considerably bigger than Yancey, but that didn’t matter to Yancey, who had the advantage of being somewhat more agile and could occasionally slip in under Speedo’s jaws before they could clamp down on the ball.
“I need to tell you something about last night,” Rhodes said as Yancey ran across the yard with Speedo in pursuit. “We found a body in the old Ralph Moore house. It was Neil Foshee.”
“He’s the man who dumped Vicki at the roadside park,” Ivy said.
“That’s the one.”
“I’m sorry he’s dead, but he wasn’t much of a human being.”
Yancey came up and wanted Rhodes to take the ball, but he wouldn’t let it go when Rhodes reached for it. Speedo stood close by, watching, ready to take off if Rhodes managed to get the ball and throw it again.
Rhodes got the ball and threw it all the way across the yard. The two dogs whirled and took off after it.
