The French Quarter. Ken JD Mask
me. “Is that all you remember?”
Closing my eyes, I thought back. It hit me. I’d better say something quick because whoever he’s talking to probably doesn’t have much time.
“There was a boy—I mean a boy was running away from where this thing happened.”
Luke told the person on the line, “He said there was someone who saw this thing.” He looked over at me, nodding his head for me to go on.
“It was a young boy, a young white boy.”
He then gave me an even look, as if he was trying to determine if my memory served me correctly.
“Are you sure? Do you know who this boy was? Well, no. You wouldn’t know who he was. You don’t live out this way. Could you describe him?”
“I can describe him. In fact, he ran away from the scene into some woods like he know where he was going. It was at some crossroads … yeah, I remember. I was on highway 90 about two blocks from where the turn is off of Venice Drive.”
“Yes, that is where the police report said the shooting occurred.”
“Yeah. It was on the same side as where the police officers had pulled me over. He ran into some woods and the police officers came back disgusted they couldn’t find him. He’s got to be up there somewhere close, in those houses. There weren’t too many of them there in that region. He must live somewhere up there.”
Luke spoke again to the person on the phone. “Yeah, I think we may have a witness.” Clicking his cell phone closed, he came over to my bedside again and put his hand on my head. “Everything’s going to be okay. I’m going to go down to the place and see if I can find out whom this boy is. Meanwhile, don’t say anything to the D.A. Do nothing till you hear from me.”
Jacobs soldiered on out of the room as quickly as he had come in.
