Chapter Seven

RAIN PELTING AGAINST my sodden coat.

Light.

A hand on my wrist.

Mitch, are they—

My God, Elma, get back in the car. Fear in his voice.

Footsteps. A door slams shut.

The man keeps saying my God over and over again before he finally backs away and leaves.

His voice raises in a shout, then a curse.

The wet rush and roar as a car drives quickly past.

Rain.

Wind.

Another car. The road under me announces its approach.

He shouts again. This time it stops. Light pierces my sightless eyes. Voices.

… get to a phone …

… Trent place, just up the road…

… police first, it's too late for…

More lights, more voices. Questions.

An eternity of rain and wind.

… thought something was wrong so we stopped…

… Johnnie Banks, don't know who the other fella …

Hands probe my pockets.

… out of town. Must be his car behind Johnnie's…

The light gets stronger. It beats on me like the rain. Hands turn my body. Rain strikes my face.

… cracked open like an egg…

Want to scream. Can't.

… multiple blows with a blunt instrument, both of 'em. That's as much as I can tell…

… musta been a robbery, but who…

Hands on my body, lifting me.

The rain stops. Full daylight. Blinding, burning, killing daylight.

Want to scream. Want to scream.

They drop a blanket on me. The rough fabric covers my face. Grunting and swaying, they carry my body out of the wind.

The blanket diffuses the light a little.
