Henry
“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.”
