Not a whisper.Jimmy Smith and Rats Aoki, both seventeen, wait in the early-morning darkness for a truck to take them to the pier. They sit on the rocks along the old coast road, a dark and peaceful sea lapping at their feet.But for the whispering water, it is dead silent. No cars have come or gone since they walked there from their dusty... homes just inland. Its the third week of their summer job.They talk quietly.Hey, Jimmy.
