This secret is the revelation of what actually happened the night of that incident which resulted in Ricky’s loss of hunting privileges. This will be just the first of several ghostly sightings of the elk and seeing it is what eventually drives Lewis to confess to his fellow Native American co-worker-the flirty Shaney-an ugly, hidden truth. The vision so stuns him that he very nearly falls from the ladder only to be rescued from serious harm at the last minute by Peta. One night, Lewis is in the midst of repairing a broken overhead lighting fixture when he is shaken to his core by the sight of an elk below.

Lewis has also married a white woman named Peta and taken a job with the post office. Lewis has moved away from the reservation, just as Ricky had been planning to do before that ill-timed need to urinate in a bar with a long line for the bathroom. Lewis is one of those friends who called a man named Richard by his nickname Ricky. The story then takes up a decade after Ricky’s mysterious death to focus on Lewis. There are murmurs, however, that this presumption of guilt is misplaced. The next day the local newspaper will arrive with the headline: “INDIAN MAN KILLED IN DISPUTE OUTSIDE BAR” accompanying an article laying the blame for Ricky’s demise at the feet of some unidentified patrons. A chase ensues with Ricky at the lead being followed by several of the patrons.

The sight of this elk engaging in vandalism is somewhat ironic for Ricky. An enormous elk is wreaking havoc on a number of the vehicles in the parking lot. His intention to relieve himself is interrupted by an unexpected sight. Rather than gamble with his ability to control his authority over his bladder, Ricky decides to head outdoors. He heads for the nearest indoor urinal only to be greeted by a long line.
