The Rampant Reaper (2011)
“She lay there in the big bed—well, Kenny was a big guy.
We will not think of that.
Right. Wonder how Edwina’s ankle is.
Charlie’s mom had left the not-so-Gentle Oaks long before Charlie last night. Someone must have driven her. Maybe Kenny had come for her.
The ankle was swollen only slightly and Nurse Hogoboom had found some crutches that would suit Edwina. “Lots of people come in here on crutches but they’re soon in walkers, then in wheelchairs, then comas. We kinda recycle the crutches aroun...d town.”
Charlie wondered where Edwina and her crutches had gone.
That sly look on Gladys’ face last night had really startled her. Then again, Gladys could keep track of the number of fictitious boyfriends to needle Charlie about. The old woman might be strong and mobile and clever enough to plan and carry out the demise of some of the weaker inmates at the Oaks. Fighting that purse away from her in the wee hours had been an eye-opener. But Darla Lempke was young, strong, agile, and quick.MoreLess
