  “That woman nailed you for the murder of the Baker boys…?”

  “You mean the lady who noticed my license plate?”

  “Well, yeh, same thing. I mean everyone in the county knows your truck, Henry.”

  “I thought she was a stranger, not from the county.”

  “Well, yeh, but she bin interviewing a lot of people for a book she was writing. She ever interview you?”

  “No, she come ’round but I run her off…maybe she saw the plate then now I think on it.”

  “Maybe you made her mad, not talking to her then. Wonder what other folks said about you.”

  “You think she was askin’ ’bout me?”

  “Asked me, but I didn’t tell her nothing.”
