Nolan came around the corner from the parking lot with the gray box under his arm and slowed to a walk.
A white city truck sat at the curb outside Brine.
A sheriff's cruiser sat behind it with its lights off.
Between them, a heavy man in a hi-vis vest stood on the sidewalk with a clipboard and a padlock the size of a fist.
Beside him a deputy waited with his thumbs in his belt.

There were forty of them, maybe fifty.

The surgeon stood in the middle in his down vest, holding a coffee.
The colonel leaned on his cane.
The bank manager had a phone to her ear and a folder under her arm.
