Chapter Seventeen

I’m no fan of the alarm clock, but it sure beats dog breath. Labrys licked my cheek as Vince said, “Mar-Bar, wake up. There’s something you’ve got to see.” He flipped on my lamp.

I tried to push Labrys away, but it was a no-go. Through one barely opened eye, I could see that it was still dark. Vince rustled a newspaper with no consideration for my delicate pre-coffee condition. “Go away,” I mumbled.

Vince wrenched the dog off my bed and sat on it himself.

“Both of you.” I shut my eyes tight. Since when did he get up earlier than me?

“It’s Anne,” he said.

I jolted to attention and pushed myself into a sitting position.

“She’s in the paper,” he said. “It’s not good.”

I fumbled on my nightstand for my glasses. Vince handed them to me along with the paper. “He had it coming,” says Director of Women’s Center. That was the headline. I gazed at Vince in disbelief. Anne was usually so careful when she talked to reporters.

“Read the whole thing,” he urged.

Then I noticed the byline: Lexie Roth. Causing trouble for Anne again. The murder of controversial Hawkeye basketball star Dave DeVoster has prompted mixed reactions in Iowa City. The opening was objective enough. I skimmed until I found Anne’s name: Director of the Women’s Center, Anne Golding, has a different take. I went back to the previous paragraph.

Head basketball coach Eldon Bly said, “Words can’t express how much D (DeVoster) will be missed both on and off the court. His last months were difficult, but he handled them with dignity. I’m proud to have coached him.”
