There was something strange about the way she was moving, and he found himself slowing down. She was pacing up and down in front of the pond, looking for something. Her gait was lopsided, and, when she drew closer, he saw that her face was wet from tears that were blinding her. She didn’t notice Lawrie until the last moment, suddenly aiming towards him and coming up short as she took him in properly. She held herself rigid, her mouth gasping for air that her lungs didn’t seem to want to accept.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e“Ma’am?” Lawrie swung his leg and dismounted, making his movements slow so that she didn’t spook. “You all right? Can I help you?”\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eShe looked over her shoulder but turned back to him, fixing her eyes on his uniform. Whatever she’d seen was more frightening than one skinny black man. And there was no one else in sight. “You — you’re … a postman?” Her tongue tripped as she spoke.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e“Yes, ma’am. Do you need help?”\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eShe nodded and pointed in the direction she’d come from, a ragged sob creasing her body.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eHe couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary at first. There was the pond, and there he spied the terrier. The small dog was soaked through. Barking urgently at him, it ran back towards the water.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e“The pond.” The woman squeezed out the words, and he noticed now that her hands were filthy, her coat spattered with mud.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e“There’s something in the pond?”\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eIt was useless. She had begun to shiver, her teeth actually chattering as shock took hold. Lawrie laid his bike down on the grass and headed towards the pond on foot. The dog was still barking in a fury, running laps between the edge of the pond and the path.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e“What you got, boy?”\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eThe dog splashed into the water, checking back to make sure he was being followed. There was a bundle there, a dirty blanket that once had been white. Lawrie crouched by the edge next to a smaller set of footprints that must have belonged to the woman. It didn’t look like much, this wad of sodden wool, but that didn’t stop fear from squeezing his chest tight as he reached out with his right hand, the palm of his left sinking into freezing mud as he tried to keep his balance.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eHe strained his arm and caught an inch of fabric between two fingers. Pulling gently, the bundle moved closer and he grabbed a tighter hold. The wool was heavy with water. White and yellow embroidered flowers peeked out from beneath the pond filth. Daisies. When he lifted it the bundle was heavier than he’d anticipated, but it wasn’t the weight that sent him crashing to the ground — only sheer luck landing him onto the bank rather than into the water. His heart pounded his ribs so hard that he glanced down at his chest, expecting to see it burst out through his coat, scattering buttons onto the ground.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eThe blanket lay there on the grass, the bundle coming apart. A baby’s arm had escaped, along with a shock of dark curly hair and a glimpse of a cheek. It could have been a doll, but one touch had been enough to convince him that it wasn’t. The hand was frozen stiff but the skin gave as his fingers had brushed against it.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eSomeone had left a baby in the pond to die.
