The Gardens of Digby Green: Hiring

December 31, 2021Heidi KortmanFiction for Fridayhiring, more stops, The Gardens of Digby Green2 Comments

The Gardens of Digby Green: Hiring The timing of a traffic light ensured that Ray didn’t miss Digby’s turn onto 6th Street. He followed, passing a couple of businesses before Digby pulled into the lot of CJ Future’s Lawn and Landscaping. The property was large, and Ray could park away from Digby’s truck, as the

The Gardens of Digby Green: Unexpected Stop Two cars rolled out of the truck stop lot between Digby and Ray, and that wasn’t bad, but when a semi crossed into the same lane, Ray tensed. The highway signs were marked 680, and he knew Digby would be forced to turn onto State Road 29 soon,

The Gardens of Digby Green: Tuna Deja Vu Detective Marquez parked his car in the station lot, steeling himself to ignore the FBI agent’s superior smirk he expected. The atmosphere in the squad room was somehow lighter, but why? His radio hadn’t broadcast any breakthroughs. Marquez opened his office door. His eyebrows rose. The room

The Gardens of Digby Green: Avoca

The Gardens of Digby Green: Avoca Green’s mind apparently fixed on one direction: West. Ray’s stomach disapproved of skipping breakfast, and he wasn’t seeing many opportunities to grab lunch. The upcoming road sign was the second he’d seen that listed the distance to Omaha. His leave was running out. No, he couldn’t quit. Wouldn’t. He

The Gardens of Digby Green: Sequence

December 3, 2021Heidi KortmanFiction for FridaySequence, The Gardens of Digby Green, vanity plate4 Comments

The Gardens of Digby Green: Sequence For a moment, Ray thought Green would take advantage of the proximity of the Denny’s restaurant for breakfast, but Green merged into traffic, heading west. Keeping close enough to track him on the business thoroughfare wasn’t easy, but after Green took the I-80 exit, Ray could breathe a little

The Gardens of Digby Green: Sighting Two

November 26, 2021Heidi KortmanFiction for Fridaysighting, The Gardens of Digby Green, vulture6 Comments

The Gardens of Digby Green: Sighting Two “Nice car.” The gravelly-spoken statement from the other side of the fogged window woke Ray. Hinges creaked. “Up you go, Bosco. Time to go to Wisconsin.” A door shut, before the sounds repeated. Ray peered at his watch. 7:42. Multiple nightmares of losing track of Green had driven

November 19, 2021Heidi KortmanFiction for FridayPreparations, The Gardens of Digby Green, weapon7 Comments

The Gardens of Digby Green: Preparations Car and truck doors slammed, and Digby paused beside his truck. He followed three people into the hotel. Check-in time stretched the twelve hours between 3:00 p.m. and 3:00 the following morning. He wasn’t on any schedule, and could hang around as late as 11:00. Showing up too early

The Gardens of Digby Green: Switcheroo Ray swallowed the last smooth spoonful of banana and softened ice cream. The slow male waiter had finally left Digby Green’s order at his table. A hamburger, and from Ray’s perspective, what looked like a double order of fries. Green poured a lake of ketchup onto the plate and

The Gardens of Digby Green: Interruptions Ray looked up from the glossy photo menu. “What can I get you to drink?” The middle-aged waitress in the aisle had her pad and pencil ready. Ray was also ready. “I’ll have a lemonade, and the pot roast bowl, please.” This chain served decent food, but experience with
