We passed a young man who couldn't have been many years older than Jamie?his dark hair
stood up from his olive-toned forehead like steel wool
?Hey, Wes,? Ian greeted him
Wes watched in silence as we passedIan laughed at his expression
?Hey, Doc,? Ian saidIn his hands was a big wad of doughHis shirt was covered with dark,
coarse flour
?Morning,? Jeb answered
?See you 'round,? Doc said, hurrying off with his burden
?Wanda, huh?? Ian asked
?My idea,? Jeb told him
?Interesting? was all Ian said
We finally made it to the northeastern field, where my hopes were dashed
There were more people here than there had been in the passageways?five women and nine
menThey all stopped what they were doing |
