A stranger is sitting on the big desk up front of the lecture hall when they walk in, arms crossed low over his chest and seeming to watch the students walk in. He’s handsome with a pair of thin wire frames and a square jaw covered by a thick beard, somewhat tussled black hair, and nothing at all like Bollinger – their chemistry professor on the wrong side of seventy.
“Hi there,” the man says, voice lifting to raise over the dull roar of the class, prompting it to quiet. “I’ll be the assistant professor this semester taking over for Bolly, uh…” He obviously peeks down at a paper in front of him. “Professor Bollinger.”
Dick glances over to Rick to share a curious look just as the man turns around to go behind the desk. He then watches the professor start to sketch out a series of vaguely recognizable compounds, arms above his head and shoulders flexing underneath a thin dress shirt, and it takes far too long for Dick to realize the new professor has also been talking.
Chapter 2 -
“Hey,” Reagan says, abruptly reaching out and grabbing Dick at the elbow, then just as quickly letting him go with an abashed look on his face. “You stay safe, okay?”
“Okay,” Dick says, slowly, furrowing his brows slightly before turning to look Reagan straight on. “Aren’t you coming to the funeral?”
Reagan hesitates but doesn’t outright reject the offer. “Wouldn’t that be weird?”
Dick shakes his head. “He thought you were alright.”
“Did he?” Reagan says, with a wide blink and a slight upward twist at the corner of his mouth. “You talked about me?”
“Not directly,” Dick says, lying, as he reaches down to pick up his plate and mug from the table. “But in general.”
