River dream

“WHAT’D HE SAY?” Officer Dean asked.
“He said the kid was at the University of Oklahoma for school,” I said. “River’d had a bad dream and knew that the kid’s life was in danger.”
The cop grunted. “So … Bigfoot is a psychic?”
“Think about it. No one ever gets a good picture of one, much less a clean shot,” I said. “Despite all the expeditions and TV shows and whatnot. River’s people have got more going for them than being huge and strong. My guess is that they’re smarter than humans. Maybe a lot smarter. My guess is they know magic of some kind, too.”
“Jesus,” Officer Dean said. “You really believe all this, don’t you?”
“I want to believe,” I said. “And I told you that you wouldn’t.”
Dean grunted. Then he said, “Usually they’re too drunk to make sense when I get a story like this. Keep going.”
