The Arrival -- The Recurring Dream
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live a life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
She read, Ye Olde Watering Hole. I'll bet! Everything inside is probably highly polluted, she thought, unduly pleased by the image of a cow's head lying beside a rheumy pool of stagnant water lined with dead animal carcasses.
She entered, tired, hot, and extremely thirsty. This was the only building of any kind with the essential "air conditioned" sign on the door. A dusty door, with a reassuring patrol car stationed in front.
An Indian entered, scowling, primordial, in conventional dress, but obviously no cigar store Indian.
Hollywood style good looks. Oblivious to it.

The sheriff burst out laughing.
"Coming?" the Indian asked, still locked in intense gaze with her.
She raised her eyebrows.
"The very man you were just asking about," the sheriff added helpfully, smiling even more broadly. "Juan Geronimo Quantico, John, Cu, El Pichon Azul. Second son of an alcoholic chief and a very powerful medicine woman."
"I can't work for him," she said softly, again amazed when her voice disturbed the air.
