A lot later. Sweaty and out of breath, I stood on the side of the highway. There were tire tracks where Deputy Wood should have been; he must have needed some new scenery. In my brilliant plans, he was sitting right out in his cherry-picking spot, just waiting to spill terrible secrets about Elijah’s disappearance, if only somebody would come along and ask him. I stood there for a long time, like wishing would make his cruiser appear. Funny enough, it didn’t, so I got back on my bike. The police outpost wasn’t much, just a cinder-block box with some dingy windows, but it had air-conditioning, at least.
Were his eyes darker? He’d been real once; someone had to know the answers. It didn’t seem right to pester Old Mrs. Landry with questions. In her soft, sad mind, her boy was a saint, and I didn’t think I could bring myself to shake her out of that. ” Down at the church, Father Rey told nothing but the gospel and the truth, but he hadn’t lived here long enough to know Elijah. Collette’s mama would ask too many questions about why I wanted to know and she’d tell Collette besides. Mr. Ourso at the Red Stripe hated everybody under thirty.
My feet sank into the soft ground before I realized I’d moved, and I scrambled toward Collette. ” Sitting up, Collette made a face at me. ” Grabbing her arm, I yanked her up farther as I craned around, looking for the boy. I didn’t see more than a spot of pale, but it seemed like he should be long and tall, slipping fast through the stones and into the woods. ” Collette huffed. The sky started to groan, promising rain anytime, but it was still light enough that Collette should have seen him or heard him, and I got a fresh chill when it was plain she didn’t.
