Suitable for Framing (2014)
“The subtle shift from rainy season to winter had begun. The hot moist south-southwest Caribbean winds that soak up even more moisture from the Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Everglades had surrendered to northern currents, which had started to push south. Tornadoes spun up and down the coast sinkholes opened in the far north lanes of the Interstate, and the dawn was cool and less humid.
I called Watson’s south district number at 5:30 A.M. She wasn’t in yet and there was no news in the search for the twins. I pulled on shorts, my Miami Heat T-shirt and running shoes, clipped my beeper to my waistband, and trotted two blocks to the boardwalk. Jogging the 3.2-mile round-trip was easier than two days earlier, when I had returned with my hair drenched. I ran at a steady pace, as the sea evolved from green to blue to silver under low-flying, fast-moving clouds. I warmed up fast, but other locals wore sweats and one elderly early bird even toddled along swathed in a winter coat.
