No Good Deed
“Sonora looked out the window. Even with the investigation in the infant, raw and frantic state, the farm gave her that peculiar sensation of home-coming that she often got from crime scenes, so strongly did they permeate the landscape of her mind.
The small gravel lot in front of the barn was overflowing – white vans, Pintos and Subarus. A baby Mazda pickup, teal green, sideways in the grass.
The press had arrived ahead of them.
Sonora ripped off her seat belt, listening to the snort and scream... of horses who called to each other, restless in all the commotion.

Girl and horse, gone like that.’ He snapped a finger, put the car in park. Patted his pocket. ‘You got the Polaroid?’ ‘I want to do the morgue thing.’ ‘We’re not doing the morgue.’ Dixon Chauncey was standing on the steps of his mobile home, surrounded by a horseshoe of reporters with microphones that looked like thick, fur-covered bananas, camera operators standing stoically in the rain.MoreLess
