Key Witness
“Josephine wisecracked.
It was almost eleven the following morning. Wyatt had drifted off to sleep at dawn, and didn’t wake up until the room maid came in and found him sleeping on top of the bed, still fully clothed. He’d showered, shaved, and put on a fresh change of clothes, but he had black circles around his eyes as big as a raccoon’s and his face felt raw, like it had been scrubbed with a wire brush. And although he had brushed his teeth and gargled with Listerine and brushed his teeth aga...in, his mouth tasted like a herd of elephants had taken a collective dump inside of it.
“A big one.” He didn’t elaborate, and she was wise enough not to pursue it.
He thought about going over to the courthouse and watching Dwayne Thompson testify some more, but Dwayne’s testimony was going to drag into next week; he’d go back when Dwayne was being cross-examined, to see how he held up. So after lunch (lunchtime—he didn’t feel like eating anything, his stomach was still emotionally churning from the events of the night before) he went to the jail to see Marvin.MoreLess
