In a field beyond the crossroads, something at the edge of Ron’s vision moved with alarming speed. He turned and looked, but it was no longer there. It may have been a gust of wind flattening the tall grass, except that there was no wind. It had undoubtedly been an optical illusion, an aberration caused by overwrought nerves and unaccustomed exertion.

He could do no more here. The show was over. He wished he had brought a camera instead of a gun. A picture of the bowl, taken with a flash attachment, would have been desirable, but that was just another instance of his imperfect preparation. He would plan more carefully, next time.

He started back the way he had come, but then he was struck by sudden inspiration. Why bother with a picture? He returned to the bowl and dumped its messy contents in the road, then took it along with him. An expert on such matters might be able to interpret the curious designs he had seen on it. The cultists would assume that some random passer-by had taken it, or perhaps they would even believe that their night-roaming goddess had taken it to enjoy her snack elsewhere.

He started to hum again, but he checked himself. He wasn’t out of danger yet. He still had to pass by Hamilton’s house unseen.

Unquestionably, the noise of the pump was getting louder as he walked. He could remember seeing no cultivated fields in this direction, nothing that would require irrigation. The only other possible interpretation was that the source of the sound was approaching him.
