Optical Delusions in Deadwood
“ “Hi, Wanda. Here’s the second offer I called you about.” She snatched it from my hand with snake-strike quickness. I jerked back, resisting the urge to check for fang marks. “You can’t come in,” she whispered, then glanced over her shoulder at something behind her. “You’d better leave now.” What? Why? I didn’t move, my feet as dumbfounded as the rest of me. I leaned to the side, trying to see what was going on behind her. She reached through the crack and pushed me back a step. “Go,” she hissed. “Now!” She shut the door in my face. I heard the deadbolt click. What in the hell was going on around here? My mind reeling, I didn’t realize I’d returned to Doc’s car until I sat on the warm seat and shut the door. Doc’s forehead furrowed. “What’s wrong?” “I don’t know. Wanda was acting odd.” “Do you want me to go back up there with you?” “I don’t think so.”
