Falling
“I scrawl Mercedes Dantes onto the sign-in sheet. We accept a park map, two orange vests, a bright red whistle and a folder filled with emergency numbers, a guide to constructing a splint from a tree branch and missing person flyers.
While we receive instructions from a search organizer, I keep my head down and pretend to study the flyer of Sunshine’s smiling face.
The missing woman is pale as milk, has dark, pretty eyes, round cheeks, and short curls. The combination of her features immediately... strikes me as someone whose profession requires scrubs: nurse, dental hygienist, something along those lines. Sorry Sunshine, I think. You are dead. No tree branch splints for you. How do you feel about some sweet vengeance in the near future? I might be able to arrange that.
Gabe politely declines to be included in the larger search groups. “We’ll just go our own way and whistle if we see anything,” he tells the woman at the table.
Her chins tremble. “Bless your precious hearts.”
We don our orange vests, a perfect complement to my hideous straw hat, and make our way into the park.MoreLess
