SCENES 3 & 4: THE POLICEMAN & THE MOTHER
(THE POLICEMAN and an older woman, THE MOTHER, each in his/her separate space, speak
their testimonies.)
THE POLICEMAN
I caught the bandit
on the Ragged Creek Bridge
last night at dusk.
Luther Harlow.
Hobbled by a fall from his horse.
The vigilante’s evaded me countless times,
but I put an end to that last night.
THE MOTHER
I have gazed upon the corpse
and I can tell you that’s him.
My daughter's husband.
Dead, he’s dead—
Her husband is dead—
And my daughter, Leona—
She's gone, disappeared, vanished.
Please— You must tell me—
Where is she?
What has happened to her?
THE POLICEMAN
I arrested the suspect
as the mountainside smoked
and the mare looked on,
grazing by the side of the road.
Luther Harlow,
wearing green,
armed with this:
(He offers up a rifle in a tooled leather scabbard.)
Leather, finely tooled.
The mare? Her mane was cropped.
THE MOTHER
The dead man?
He has a name.
Ambrose Raines.
School teacher.
They were on their way
from his people to hers,
newly wed.
They had known each other
just a couple of months.
To my eye, he looked a little . . . sickly.
Dreamy, she used to say.
I wasn’t at all sure,
but she seemed so— Taken.
THE POLICEMAN
If the victim owned an Enfield
then Harlow’s your man.
He’s feared around here, reviled.
THE MOTHER
Describe my child?
Nineteen.
Bright. Headstrong
Obsessed with the names
of plants, trees, stones.
She wants to study botany,
evergreens, heartwood.
But knowing that won’t help you find her.
THE POLICEMAN
Some say Harlow’s to blame
for the string of women gone missing
on the mountain.
THE MOTHER
Her eyes?
They change color depending on the day.
They change color depending on the light.
Her skin is clear.
A mark. Here.
But you must tell me.
Where is she?
What has happened to her?
THE POLICEMAN
What color was the mare, did you say?
Chestnut.
