The Ambitious City (2012)
“DRIVING ONTO CAMPUS, MacNeice realized he didn’t know where either the athletic facility or the parking lot was. He stopped at the curb as a jogger approached, flagging him down with his lights.
“What’s up?” the young man asked. He was lanky and wore a tank top and baggy shorts to his knees.
“I’m looking for the overflow parking behind the athletic field.”
“Oh yeah, where Lea got knifed.”
“Exactly. How did you hear about it?”
“It’s a small campus: word travels. You a cop?”
“Yes. How do I get th...ere?”
He turned right at the end of the lane, took the next left as instructed, then passed by the athletic complex and practice field. There were two cruisers—one of them city, the other campus—blocking the entrance to the lot. On the grass beyond them was a blue police bus, used to ferry the personnel who would sweep the hill, and a black Suburban from Forensics. He drove up the curb and over the grass till he was parallel with the young cop standing outside his cruiser.MoreLess
