("Cloud of Dust" - Rena Gaile)

Buddy Tensmin walks near a stream slowly while waiting his best friend Danby, the two black muscular teenage boys carefully help their friend Nalanie, a young white girl with sparkling amber hair, while Field Livingston, a young black man in his 30s, walks even closer to the stream to fill his water canteen.

"So Buddy." Danby said " Are you sure this trip is a good way to enjoy the last few weeks of summer?"

"Of Course" Buddy answers smiling. He than sees Nalanie staring at the water. He curiously walks to her.

"Is something wrong Nalanie?" Buddy asked worriedly. Nalanie looked at him as she finally turned her head towards him.

"It's just what my classmates think of me every school year.." She answered "They tell me blacks will never be allowed to be with whites." Buddy smiled as he looked at her. "They're just addicted to southern segregation of the 60s" He replied "As long as we remain friends Nalanie, no one will break our bonds of friendship apart."

"Come Along You two." Field called to them. Buddy gave Nalanie a yellowish rock as he stood up, Nalanie took his hand as they walked together.


Days later, a windy day in Red Lion State Forest, a broken lantern is just few inches away from Buddy's body, laying dead with blood streaming on his forehead and splattered on his chest. A mysterious figure wearing work boots is digging dirt just a one inch away from the body.


A woman with long blonde hair carried a brown box labeled Tensmin B. to a bottle shelf in the storage room and pushes it inside.


Detective Lilly Rush was reading a newspaper when John Stillman walk right up to her. "Lil.." He said "Anna Mayes is here, said some hikers may have found a new lead on an old job."

Lilly put the papers down as she looked up at him. "Worth a look." she finally replied. Lilly walked to where Scotty, Kat, and Will were talking to Anna Mayes, who's she has not seen since the Amy Lind, Lilly walked up to her and shook her hand. "So, Longtime no see." Lilly started talking "Got a ticket to an old one?"

"Well, I think so." Anna said smiling, then she took a piece of paper and opened it . The piece of paper revealed to be a map of Red Lion State Forest. "A 6th grade class was burying a time capsule, they found this map buried in their spot, and look." Anna pointed to a few words under the compass symbol. It read...This map was created by B.T.

"Well." Scotty said in confusion "Those initials could be anyone's." Anna then turned her head to him.

"Actually, that class's teacher and I both are reminded of one cold job." Anna replied "Its one of my favorite cold jobs."

Kat started to talk. "Who's the victim?" she asked.

Anna then answered "Buddy Tensmin, a teenage boy beaten pretty good in 1995, his body was found near where the map was buried."

Will held up the map and looked at it. "He could of buried it before he died" he said.

"Or his murderer did." Lilly replied "A way to get the cops off their trail."
