Strange Weather Page #3

Hey, sue Anne, your yard's

sure looking gorgeous.

Aren't you worried about getting

ticketed for the sprinklers?

Oh, we aren't

on water restrictions

here in the heights.

What can I help you with, Darcy?

Well, actually,

I'm looking for Kevin.

Well, he and Beth and the boys

headed back to Alabama

around dawn.

I need to speak with him

about something.

Maybe you could just give me

his number then.

Um, try "zipper."

That's not it either.

What about "interpol"?

Some kind of joke?

It's the name

of his favorite band.

Mm-mm.

"Asimov."

- What? What?

- "Asimov."

Uh-uh.

There's got to be some kind

of code you can crack.

It's encrypted,

I mean, you gotta figure out

the password he

would've used, Darcy.

- Otherwise nothing I can do.

- "Periwinkle."

"Periwinkle"?

You sure you don't

have a single hard copy

of that thing anywhere?

Those aren't the kinds

of things I held onto.

- Cinnamon roll.

- Yeah.

- Look, I'll cut to the chase, Clay.

- Okay.

I need that thing you been

holding for me.

I'm sorry, what thing?

That bag.

From the police.

Why do you need that right now?

I just feel like

maybe it's time.

Time to use what's in the bag?

It's just I'm ready

to take it back now.

Yeah?

I don't think so.

You do know that it's my job

to protect you from you.

In fact, I could make it

my full-time vocation.

Please.

Just give it to me.

Stop!

You stop right there!

I'm calling the cops!

You're trespassing!

Sorry, I-i-i...

Who are you?!

What're you doing here?!

My name's Darcy baylor.

I just... I knew somebody

who used to live in this house.

Whoa.

Walker's mom?

So when mark moved out,

his dad let me stay on.

Figure they got so much money,

forgot they even owned

the place, you know?

Some accountant pays

the taxes once a year.

It's all good.

You got some needle and thread,

I could mend that for you.

You still talk to mark?

No, nope, we're not in touch.

Dennis?

I need you to think back

to around the time that...

That Walker died.

About how he was acting,

how mark was acting,

what might've been going on

between those two.

Dennis.

I don't know.

There weren't any bad vibes

or anything.

Uh-huh.

I'd have picked up on it

if there was.

- Yeah, of course.

- You know?

I mean, Walker was kind of

a mess that day, but...

Wait, what day?

Well...

You know, the day he, uh...

Walker came out here

the day he died?

Yeah.

Well, how come none of you boys

ever told me that?

You never asked.

Why are you asking now?

It's been, what,

six years or something?

Seven.

Just tell me.

Okay.

Well...

I remember it was hot,

hot and dry

like it's been lately.

Walker dragged his ass
