catron had called the boy and talked to him and when the boy walked into the cafe he didnt seem particularly worried about anything。 he slid into the booth and propped up one foot and sucked at his teeth and looked at bell。
you want some coffee?
yeah。 ill take some coffee。
bell raised a finger and the waitress came over and took his order。 he looked at the boy。
what i wanted to talk to you about was the man that walked away from that wreck。 i wonder if theres anything that es to mind about him。 anything you might remember。
the boy shook his head。 naw; he said。 he looked around the room。
how bad was he hurt?
i dont know。 it looked like his arm was broke。
what else。
had a cut on his head。 i couldnt say how bad he was hurt。 he could walk。
bell watched him。 how old a man would you say he was?
hell; sheriff。 i dont know。 he was pretty bloody and all。
on the report you said he was maybe in his late thirties。
yeah。 somethin like that。
who were you with。

the neighbor there who called in the report; he said there was two of you。
well; hes full of it。
yeah? i talked to him this mornin and he seemed to me to be about as unfull of it as they e。
the waitress brought the coffee。 demarco poured about a quarter cup of sugar into his and sat stirring it。
you know this man had just got done killin a woman two blocks away when he got in that wreck。
yeah。 i didnt know it at the time。

bell leaned back。 he turned the saltcellar a half turn on the tabletop。 then he turned it back again。

bell studied him。 the boy sucked his teeth。 he picked up the coffee mug and sipped the coffee and set it down again。
you aint goin to help me; are you?
i done told you all i know to tell。 you seen the report。 thats all i know to tell you。
bell sat watching him。 then he got up and put on his hat and left。
in the morning he went to the high school and got some names from demarcos teacher。
the first one he talked to wanted to know how hed found him。 he was a big kid and he sat with his hands folded and looked down at his tennis shoes。 they were about a size fourteen and had left and right written on the toecaps in purple ink。

the kid looked at his shoes。 he looked up at bell。 he didnt look like anybody。 i mean there wasnt nothin unusual lookin about him。 but he didnt look like anybody youd want to mess with。 when he said somethin you damn sure listened。 there was a bone stickin out under the skin on his arm and he didnt pay no more attention to it than nothin。
all right。
am i in trouble over this?
no。
i appreciate it。
you dont know where things will take you; do you?
