In as far as how much trouble I could potentially be in with my marriage, my job, and felony theft charges when I waylaid a million dollars during the cage count that afternoon, which would land me in the pokey for years to come, heaviest on my heart, with my sister as safe as she could be for the time being, was the dead body at Fantasy’s. And not so much that we walked off and left her there—at the time, it was our only option—but the fact that the woman, who looked like Mrs. Doubtfire, had to have a family somewhere. Was there a husband pacing a floor? Probably not. Who would leave a husband to live and travel with a blind oil baron to take care of his dog? What about children? She had to have children. At her age, they’d be grown. Which meant we walked off and left someone’s dead mother in an easy chair. And what if her children had children? The dead woman could have grandbabies who adored her, or a sister! She, like me, might have a sister with whom she shared a bond like no other. So as sorry as I was to see Urleen, the quackiest of all quacks to ever take the Hippocratic Oath—and I was so sorry to see him—even I had to admit, he was my best option.

Leverette Urleen could tell the story all day long and no one would believe him.

The dead woman needed my help. She deserved it.

Those two truths pulled me up from my desk. My limbs felt leaden. It was half past eleven. I had a meeting with His Excellency at three and the cage count at four. Which left plenty of time to get to Fantasy’s with Urleen the Idiot. I said, “Let me change clothes.”

The horse clothes were killing me.
