“THEY’RE HERE, DAVID. With a truck and everything.” When Janie yelled, Esther and Blair got up off the floor where they’d been playing Chinese checkers and ran to join Janie and Amanda on the window seat. David followed more slowly. His breath had suddenly started to get quick and shallow the way it always did when he had to give an oral report in school. In the driveway a man and woman were getting out of a blue car. Behind the car a big van was just coming to a stop. On the side of the van the...re was an oval-shaped logo, a border of small “4os” surrounded a huge “TV.” Channel 40 was the local TV station. David swallowed hard. “Okay, Blair,” he said. “Don’t forget.” Blair went on staring out of the window. David pulled him off the window seat and turned him around. “What are we going to say if they mention a dog?” he prompted. In a toneless chant—obviously reciting from memory—Blair said, “We’re going to tell the truth, except about Nightmare. We’re going to say it was just a stray dog, and he ran away.”MoreLessRead More Read Less
