Then drugs became more than a troubling issue.Van Morrison and Bob Kaley invaded their town and death walked stealthily through the halls of their school, out onto their quiet streets.They had arrived in town at about the same time last year, a simple coincidence? Van Morrison, a drug pusher on the south side, Bob Kaley, a respected teacher in her school.It seemed unlikely the two would have any connection. Still, she had her suspicions. Dawn wondered if it was her imagination working overtime linking a social studies teacher to disreputable drug pusher.
