chapter 36

HENRY

A boy turned onto the block. Henry caught him out of the corner of his eye. He had long legs, and a backpack bounced against his shoulder. The boy caught up to Henry. They ran side by side for ten strides or so—

Henry was back on the mountain—

Racing Wayne—

The boy sprinted ahead.

The boy tried to jump over a tree that had fallen across the sidewalk.

His jeans got caught on a branch and he pitched forward, falling on his hands.

Henry watched him wrench himself free and keep on running.

He looked like he was running for his life.
