The Edge of Justice (2003)
“The sight of the bed torn apart and the empty tequila bottle on the dresser turns a worm within me. Outside, as I hurry through my morning training, Oso watches balefully from where he's preemptively tied to a tree as another soccer game is taking place.
Back at the hotel I shower, shave, and take two bagels and a paper cup of tea from the hotel's coffee shop. The mountain-born wind hasn't warmed yet so I pull on my wool coat and call for Oso to “load up” into the truck. Once on Interstate 80, ...we head east past Vedauwoo, where the granite is orange in the morning light. In Cheyenne I stop by the unoccupied lab at DCI's headquarters to drop off the bottle I'd recovered from the cave. I had already called the chief tech and conveyed the need for urgency along with McGee's endorsement. I was told to expect results the next day, Sunday. Then Oso and I turn south on I-25 and cross the state border into Colorado and the flatland of the eastern plains.
Five hours later the sun is high and the road has turned hot.MoreLess
