Out on bail, Harold resumed his idea of normal living. For three days in a row, he was seen bicycling into town, where he opened the Zenith shop and waited for customers who did not come. On the fourth day, he stopped going to the shop. Closed Until Further Notice said a penciled note on the front door.

On Harold’s fifth day of freedom, his attorney visited him at home. It wasn’t easy to do. Harold lived at the ass end of Carbon Township, a mile from a paved road. Matthew McCurdy bounced along the rutted lane, worried about his suspension. His tires raised a cloud of dust.

From the lane Harold’s house was barely visible, screened by rhododendrons as tall as a man. In knee-high grass, on cinder blocks, sat a broken-down Dodge pickup, its front wheels missing. Rusted chain-link fence encircled the property on three sides. The loop was closed by a rough wooden gate, hung with homemade signs: PRIVATE PROPERTY. NO TRESPASSING.
