Ashida leaned in. Dr. Nort and Thad Brown watched. Joan pointed to this: A blood dot below George Kapek’s left ear. Ashida look-see’d. It was less than a puncture/more than a pinprick. Joan slid man to man. Showy Girl struts and poses. She pointed below Wendell Rice’s left ear. The Mexican, likewise. She nailed identical dots. They were less than punctures/more than pinpricks.
