could　have　e　later；

smelling　the　food　Anyway；　they're　setting　traps　for　it　now。〃

〃Oh；〃　I　said　vaguely。　I　wasn't　really　listening　to　his　warnings；　I　was　much

more　upset　by　the　situation　with

Jacob　than　by　the　possibility　of　being　eaten　by　a　bear。

I　was　glad　that　Charlie　was　in　a　hurry。　He　didn't　wait　for　me　to　call　Jessica；

so　I　didn't　have　to　put　on　that

charade。　I　went　through　the　motions　of　gathering　my　school…books　on　the

Or　I　already　had　our　map　and　pass　in　the　truck。　I　was　pretty　sure　I

understood　the　process　well

enough　by　now　that　I　wouldn't　get　lost。　Maybe　I　could　eliminate　two　lines

today；　putting　us　ahead　of

schedule　for　whenever　Jacob　decided　to　honor　me　with　his　presence　again。　I

refused　to　think　about　how

long　that　might　be。　Or　if　it　was　going　to　be　never。
