““Sue-Ann! Sue-Ann, are you there?”
“Who the hell? Dilly? What?”
“Sue-Ann. Bill Dollar. Something’s come up. Something big this time.”
I was waking up quickly. “What is it?” I asked. “Why are you calling me?”
“I can’t get Mr. Dent on his cell phone. I called the office and left a message, but nobody will get it until later this morning. I called his house, but no answer.”
“What’s happened?” I asked again. “There’s been an accident. A farmer found a body in his pasture about an hour a...go, kicked to death by one of his horses.”
I was instantly awake. “Who was it, Billy?” I asked, but I felt I already knew the answer.
“Nobody knows yet. But it’s a kid, maybe twenty, maybe younger, kind of heavy set. Dressed all in black with weird markings on his face, I mean on what’s left of his face.”
“When do you get off duty?” I asked.
“I just got off a few minutes ago.”
“Can you meet me somewhere?”
“Sure, I guess, but there’s no place in Pine Oak that’s open yet.”MoreLess
