тАЬIs that what youтАЩre calling it?тАЭ Vicki said.

тАЬGot a better idea?тАЭ

On the way to school Judd reminded Lionel and Ryan again to be ready after school. When they were
gone, Vicki said, тАЬYou might want to go easy on them. I mean, you can come across wrong if youтАЩre not
careful.тАЭ

Judd cocked his head.

тАЬI want them to understand how important this is. You know how busy Bruce is, and we only have the
weekend to get the paper done if we want to distribute it Monday.тАЭ

Vicki didnтАЩt like having PE first thing every day. Mrs. Waltonen sometimes lost track of time, and they
were barely able to dress before second period.

тАЬByrne!тАЭ Mrs. Waltonen shouted as the class ended.

Vicki ran over as the other girls left the gym. Thin and dark with short hair and glasses, Mrs. Waltonen
had seemed shattered the week before while talking about losing her grandchild in the disappearances.

тАЬThe other day,тАЭ Mrs. Waltonen said, тАЬyou said something about knowing where people were. The ones
who disappeared. тАЬ

Vicki nodded.

тАЬYou know I canтАЩt allow those conversations. About religious things.тАЭ

тАЬI donтАЩt want to offend anybody,тАЭ Vicki said.

тАЬI wonтАЩt disrupt class anymore, if thatтАЩs what you mean.тАЭ

тАЬYou donтАЩt understand,тАЭ Mrs. Waltonen said, lowering her voice.

тАЬAfter class, on a personal basis, you know, one-on-one, I donтАЩt think they said anything about that.тАЭ

тАЬYou want to talk about where your grandson is?тАЭ

тАЬGranddaughter,тАЭ Mrs. Waltonen said.

тАЬNot even six months old.тАЭ
Vicki stared at the teacher. Mrs. Waltonen was older than VickiтАЩs mother, and yet she was looking to
Vicki for some kind of hope.

тАЬEverybodyтАЩs lost someone,тАЭ Mrs. Waltonen said, тАЬand itтАЩs left us without answers. But youтАЩreтАФwell,
better because of it. SomethingтАЩs different for you, Vicki.тАЭ

Mrs. Waltonen suddenly seemed so soft. With her shrill whistle and the way she barked orders, she was
the last person Vicki would have expected to start such a conversation.
