Walt McCutcheon, a stout red-haired man wearing a beat-up ballcap, stood outside Barn P when Jessie pulled up. The call was for a Coggins test, and when the trainer approached her truck before she had a chance to open the door, she hoped she was wrong about what was coming next.

“Dr. Cameron.” He handed her a folded piece of paper through the open window. The old Coggins test with all the horse and owner’s information. “I sure appreciate this. You’ll put it on my bill, right?”

“Yes, sir.” She kept a hand on the door handle, but he stood too close. She’d hit him if she tried to open it.

“All righty then. Thanks.” McCutcheon slapped the truck and turned to leave.

Jessie seized the opportunity and opened the door. The trainer turned back to her, his face the picture of confusion. “Was there something else, Doctor?”

“I have to see the horse. Draw his blood.”

“Oh.” McCutcheon’s eyes widened. “Oh. I just assumed...I’m sorry. Doc was always so busy. Of course. Right this way.”

She tucked the pad of test forms under one arm, opened the compartment in the storage unit to retrieve the plastic bin containing empty Vacutainers and clean needles, and wondered. How could she dismiss Doc’s laziness as a one-time occurrence now?
