The original author went by the name of Clem Kadiddlehopper The Bargain (Mg ped cons rom) Chapter One Allen started up the Lexus after closing the trunk and shaking out the umbrella. Spokane was dry most of the summer, but a thunderstorm like this was not unusual in June, and it was pouring rain, thunder booming across the flats north of town. He had just arrived back from his winter estate in Kauai, and was stocking up on provisions for his summer home, a large rambler on a bend of the Pend Oreille river near Sandpoint in Idaho. It took about an hour to drive from the north end of Spokane to the Washington-Idaho border at Newport, and then another forty-five minutes or so on a winding road on the south side of the river to his home. He had spent the day in Spokane, meeting with his lawyer about a few things, and was running much later than he wanted, forgoing dinner for a quick burger and starting his rounds in the north end of town. He finished up at a Wal-Mart, and it was turning dark as he started the wipers and shifted the car into gear. They had been refinishing the parking lot, and much of it was blocked off with barriers and plastic ribbons, some of which had been broken by the wind and were whipping around the lot. There was a snarl of cars trying to find their way to the exits. "Come on," he said to no one, stalled in a line of cars. He could see down the side of the store that the feeder street was empty where the back lot met the road, so he turned left to drive around the building. No one else had figured out the way to avoid the mess in front, and he was alone as his headlights swept around the back corner of the store and froze the child in their beams. Allen stopped the car just past a group of dumpsters, and sat thinking for a moment. He had seen the small figure scrambling to get out of his headlights, and he was sure it had crawled inside one of the dumpsters, through a side door about three feet off the ground. It was a little blonde girl, he thought. What was she doing alone in back of the store, climbing into garbage? Not my business, he thought, and the brake lights went out as the car rolled forward a few feet and then came on again. I can't just drive off, he thought, I'll at least go inside and notify the staff. He decided to have a look himself, just to make sure, so he backed up the car and parked it against the building. He fished a flashlight out of the glove box and dashed out through the pelting rain over to the dumpster. The metal door creaked as he pulled it open, and he could hear paper rustling as he trained the flashlight inside. A small girl squinted back at him into the light, holding up her hands to shield her eyes. Chapter Two Laurie had not been having a good day. She had managed to get enough to eat by stealing from the candy aisle of the store, but she was getting sick of the sweets, which were all she had been able to get for a couple of days. She had made some money down the street at a mall throughout the week, making up stories of needing bus money, until the security guards began to take notice of her tattered clothes. She managed to slip away and had walked down the street to this Wal-Mart, hoping to the play the same game. But the pickings were slim here, and she couldn't hang around the same store much longer, her condition was drawing too many stares. She had kept herself clean in the washroom, carefully brushing her teeth in the sink, and even managed to rinse out her socks and panties. But her blouse was stained and her jeans threadbare, both knees down to white threads. One of her shoes was starting to come apart, and no matter how clean she was, she still didn't look the part of a child shopping with her family. It had been like this for two weeks now, since she woke up to find her mom, Connie, dead on the floor. She first noticed the smell of urine and feces, and even though the filthy rooms they were living in stank at the best of times, it normally didn't smell like an outhouse. She rubbed sleep from her eyes and walked out of her bedroom, and there Connie had been on the floor. Laurie had shaken her for a few moments, but it was obvious she was dead by the mess in her pants. Her needle and kit were on the table, the candle burned completely down into a pool of wax, the blackened spoon still resting where she had dropped it after taking the fatal shot. Connie had been a junkie for nearly all of Laurie's life, at least as long as she remembered. Which meant she was also a prostitute, when she was clean enough to work. Laurie had gotten used to the men cycling in and out of the apartments they lived in, usually only for a few months before the landlord caught on, or Connie failed to pay the rent or both. Things had gotten so bad several times in the past couple of years that Laurie herself had been sold by her mom to the men. It wasn't that bad if you weren't grossed out, and somehow Laurie had never really minded the men feeling her and sticking their penises in her mouth. She had lost her virginity at age seven to a well-dressed man that paid Connie several hundred dollars for the privilege. It had hurt at first, but not bad, and they had lived high on the hog for a few days after, until Connie had burned through the money to buy dope. Laurie had managed to attend school off and on, during a couple of periods where Connie was making decent money from turning tricks. But most of the time she was on her own, and spent her days at the local library, sometimes staying in the reading room until it closed. She loved books and read everything she could, most of them novels, something for escape. She was bright for her age and didn't even recall learning how to read, it was just something she had picked up. There were piles of books in her bedroom at home, most of which she had stolen. It was easy for a little girl to steal, no one suspected or watched her in stores. Stealing food was pretty much a normal daily activity, as Connie was anything but a provider. Now that she was dead, Laurie figured she could take care of herself. Anything was better than being put in some home. She had already been inside when Connie had landed in the hospital after an overdose, and she hated the prison atmosphere of the place. Now she was having second thoughts. It was one thing to live on her own when she had a place to stay, even the most recent roach palace Connie had managed to find. At first she had found a couple of places near the mall, an old garage and a shed, but people had seen her and she couldn't go back for fear of being picked up. She had settled on the dumpster in back of the store, which was mostly filled with paper, and was relatively warm and dry. She had been soaked by the thunderstorm as she had walked down the long side wall of the store without cover, and was just crawling into the dumpster to get out of the rain when she was caught in the headlights on the man's car. She heard the car stop and then back up, and the sound of a door opening and closing, feet slapping wet pavement. Now she stared up at a man shining a flashlight on her, trapped in the dumpster, still dripping from the rain.
