Chapter eighteen

“What was that?” Casper asked before dashing to the side of the stairs leading down to the sidewalk from the police station.

“What?” The sheriff looked around, not spotting anything. Casper ran to the side of the stairs where the pine bushes were book ended by Chinese blue wisteria trees.

He was throwing up. The sound of retching had the sheriff ready to join him. Parker crawled out of the police station and pulled his way to the banister on the other side of the stairs. He just managed to lean over it before he started losing whatever he had eaten that day.

“You two had better not be trying to catch a bug,” the sheriff ordered, like he was in control of whether they got sick or not.

“You went drinking together last night, didn’t you?” he asked as he watched them in their misery. “And you didn’t invite me. Wait, you were talking about me, weren’t you?”

“Sheriff, everything is not…” Parker stopped to dry heave.

“About you.” Casper finished as he dry-heaved some more.

“Sheriff, you don’t feel that?” Parker asked as he slowly laid out on the landing.

“Or smell that?” Casper said as he crawled up the steps to lie on the landing with Parker.

“What are you two talking about? This is what you get for drinking without me.” The sheriff blew air out of his nose like a bull. he’d love to get to know the men who worked with him, but every time he tried, they pulled away.

“Who has time to drink when women are dropping dead left and right?” Casper sucked in small breaths of air, not trusting his stomach yet.

“What the hell man, are you daft? No one has been killed in our town. I went to the morgue and asked to see the Carmichael body and there wasn’t one. I even looked through our files and found nothing on the Carmichael woman. Are you sure you’re not mixing up cases with the big city? Do you need a vacation and have you gotten into that Good Samaritan case I asked you about? If you’re sick, keep it from the station. Don’t be sick, that’s not what I pay you for.” He stomped his way up the steps, muttering about useless police personnel.

Casper lay on the warm cement of the landing, panting as he looked at Parker. “What is going on around here?”

“Damn if I know.” He paused, shutting his eyes and trying to take a slightly deeper breath. “Have you been forgetting things?” Parker asked.

“I don’t think so. Why? Have you?” Casper laid his cheek on the concrete, hoping for a bit of coolness.

“Yes, no, maybe so. The sheriff mentioned the Good Samaritan case. I thought…” He placed his hand on his head and groaned. “Wicked headache.” He curled into a ball.

“It’s like something is right there but you can’t access it because of the pain,” Casper asked, his eyes darkening as he began to wonder.

“Yeah, man. That’s it exactly.”

Hell, and damnation, what was happening in this
