These three weeks were the only time of the year he got any respect. The only time he felt like a productive human being. Here, he was a person of some importance. He wasn’t going to let some journalist bungle his one good deal.

Sun Baby bent low for a closer inspection. “I’d say, this star thing-y is your probable cause of death.” He nodded, knowingly, and crossed his skinny arms across his bare chest like a conferring physician.

These weren’t ideal conditions for postmortem. The increasing music of chimes indicated the desert wind was gaining strength. A thick dust storm would cover the tracks of a killer just as effectively as the pea soup fogs of London had masked Jack the Ripper. Always the doubting Thomas, Rainbow asked, “What makes you so certain?”

Sun Baby reached down to scratch his crotch with one hand. “I’m a paramedic.”

Rainbow Bright wasn’t sure he’d heard right.

“Outside of here, I mean,” Sun Baby said, and he sniffed his fingers, “I’m a paramedic.” He said, “Actually I’m in med school at Rutgers.” A neon-pink baby pacifier hung from a cord around his neck. In another year it would be a stethoscope.

Rainbow Bright dismissed the statement with a derisive snort. He wasn’t going to concede authority to some Doogie Howser with his first crop of pubic hair. “Well, if you’re so smart, tell me how this went down?”

Sun Baby considered the dead man for a moment. “Angry Ninja Camp.”
