Stars Screaming
“He and Gene were coming home from Trinity Ranch, a boys’ camp located deep in the rugged mountains east of Lake Arrowhead. The drop-off point was in the north end of Griffith Park, behind the zoo. But when the yellow school buses filled with singing campers pulled into the parking lot at four o’clock—the designated time of arrival, confirmed by a postcard sent to each parent one week before the end of the camp session—Burk did not see his father’s face among the moms and dads waiting expectantl...y by the open tailgates of their station wagons.
No one answered when Gene phoned their house. “He’s probably on his way,” he told Burk, “or maybe he got a flat or something. Don’t worry, he’ll be here.”
“Call the newsstand,” Burk said, but he wasn’t there either.
Thirty minutes passed. Then an hour. Finally, when the lot had emptied, Don Haverford, the camp director, drove them home.
* * * Their father came in the front door around eight that evening. With him was Ada Furlong, Ricky’s mom.MoreLess
