The couple from the motorcycle was coming in the door and I noticed her skin was very light. “You know, Freddy’s skin is kind of dark for him to be a natural red head,” I said. “But how would you get artificial freckles?” “With one of those eye liner pencils used by women?” We got into Valdosta at around five o’clock and checked into another cheap hotel and went looking for something to eat. They seem to have a diner in every town I’ve ever been in in Georgia and we found it, We ordered the special, pot roast with mashed potatoes and gravy, and string beans with cornbread and sweet iced tea. We hadn’t stopped for dinner so this big supper was just what we needed. A tall skinny man of about forty with greasy black thinning hair and acne scarred face waited on us and I asked him about Freddy Price. He shook his head, “No, I don’t remember him a ‘tall. He was with the police here, you say?”
