I asked as Ricky and I walked the hall to our cells. It’d been a week since I’d found Heather on the floor. My foot was healing, but I wasn’t sure I could say the same for Heather. She didn’t even acknowledge my presence in her hospital room when I dropped off her things, and she hadn’t answered the two texts I’d sent her since. “On television?” “No. In real life. Like, someone you knew.” “One time, my mother and I were sitting on Navy Pier in Chicago and we saw the police pull a body out of the water.” I stopped walking, stunned. “What?” he asked with both hands in the air. “You brought it up. I don’t know. No. I haven’t seen anyone die.” I shook my head a little and followed Ricky again. “It was totally gross. Some of his skin was coming off his face.” I had three more hours before I could leave and drive to the beach. I sat on the bench and searched for apartments on my phone. If Rufus didn’t start opening up, he was going to need me to adopt him.
