Last Trip: The Death of Alfred Bonenfant / 10

The First Runaway

While Malcolm McMillan and Alfred Bonenfant were having their drinks someone came into the bar and warned the cab driver that his horse was getting away. Bonenfant ran outside to chase after his cab but a passerby named Emile Boileau had already stopped it for him a short way down the street.

Bonenfant drove the cab back to the hotel but given the restlessness of his horse he was keen to get McMillan back on the road. McMillan's memory of the evening's events later proved to be hazy but he recalled Bonenfant standing in the hotel doorway and beckoning to him.
