he snapped off his gloves, threw them in his bag, closed it, picked it up and, looking down, went back to the truck. Again, Mel followed.

      When they were out of the compound she said, “All right—what’s going on there?”

      “What do you think’s going on?” he asked. “It isn’t complicated.”

      “Looks pretty awful to me,” she said.

      “It is awful. But not complicated. Just a few dirt-poor alcoholics. Homeless, living in the woods. Clifford wandered away from his family to live out here years ago and over time a few others joined his camp. Then Calvin Thompson and Maxine showed up not so long ago, and added weed to the agenda—they’re growing in that semitrailer. Biggest mystery to me is how they got it back in here. You can bet Calvin couldn’t get that done. I figure Calvin’s connected to someone, told ‘em he could sit back here and watch over a grow. Calvin’s a caretaker. That’s what the generator is about—grow lights. They irrigate out of the river. Calvin’s jitters don’t come from pot—pot would level him out and slow him down. He’s gotta be on something like meth. Maybe he skims a little marijuana, cheats the boss, and trades it for something else. Thing is, I don’t think Clifford and those old men have anything to do with the pot. They never had a grow out there before that I know of. But I could be wrong.”

      “Amazing,” she said.

      “There are lots of little marijuana camps hidden back in these woods—some of ‘em pretty good size—but you can’t grow it outside in winter months. It’s still the biggest cash crop in California. But even if you gave Clifford and those old boys a million dollars, that’s how they’re going to live.” He took a breath. “Not all local growers look like vagrants. A lot of ‘em look like millionaires.”

      “What happened when you grabbed his arm like that?” she asked.

      “You didn’t see? He was raising it like he was going to touch you. Familiarly.”

      She shuddered. “Thanks. I guess. Why’d you want me to see that?”

      “Two reasons—so you’d know what some of this country medicine is about. Some places where they’re growing are booby-trapped, but not this one. You should never go out to one of those places alone. Not even if a baby’s coming. You better hear me on that.”

      “Don’t worry,” she said with a shudder. “You should tell someone, Doc. You should tell the sheriff or someone.”

      He laughed. “For all I know, the sheriff’s department’s aware—there are growers all over this part of the world. For the most part, they stay invisible—it’s not like they want to be found out. More to the point, I’m in medicine, not law enforcement. I don’t talk about the patients. I assume that’s your ethic, as well.”

      “They live in filth! They’re hungry and probably sick! Their water is undoubtedly contaminated by the awful, dirty containers they keep it in. They’re beating each other up and dying of drink and…whatever.”

      “Yeah,” he said. “Doesn’t make my day, either.”

      She found it devastating, the acceptance of such hopelessness. “How do you do it?” she asked him, her voice quiet.

      “I just do the best I can,” he said. “I help where I can. That’s all anyone can do.”

      She shook her head. “This really isn’t for me,” she said. “I can handle stuff like this when it comes into the hospital, but I’m no country practitioner. It’s like the Peace Corps.”

      “There are bright spots in my doctoring, too,” he said. “Just happens that isn’t one of them.”

      She was completely down in the dumps when she went back to the grill to collect the baby. “Not pretty out there, is it?” Jack said.
