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?

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.

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.

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.
