I wanted to go down and find it,
but she told me, “It won’t do you any
good, because they’re already gone, but
I’ll look into it Crim. I promise.”
“I know you will Allie,” I told
her, and I knew she would.
I also remembered Teddy’s question
and asked her about that. She puckered
her lips, “I do remember the show about
the talking horse, but what brought
that up?”
I almost told her about Teddy, but
after all that crap I told her yester-
day, she probably wouldn’t believe me
anyway.
“Oh, you know how my mind works. I
was wondering what mice would say if
they could talk. What if all the
animals in the world can talk, but they
only do it to a select few, and then I
* wondered what the criteria for that
was? That led me to Denise. You
remember Denise, right? That led me to
the TV show, and well, here we are
wondering about it.”
“I remember Denise, and now you
got me wondering too. You should look
it up. You’re good at that stuff.”
Computers and smart-phones mysti-
fied the shit out of me, but search
engines... that was my forte, and I got
right on it. It only took me a couple
minutes before finding three possibles.
The most logical one was that the
actor looked like someone a horse would
talk to, and that’s the impression I
also got, but then I had to wonder,
what the hell did Teddy mean by that?
When I got home that night, I told
Beth everything, and then asked her,
“What do you think it means?”
