him eating lunch with a real live general, and he decided that he’d just go back to his room for a few minutes fi rst.

He saw Amiq as soon he turned the corner. Amiq was

standing by the entrance to the dorm wing. He was acting funny, tucked up inside the dorm hallway, his back pressed up against the wall, not moving. Not hardly breathing, even.

Not acting at all the way that little loudmouth usually acted.

Down the hall, the general was advancing like a tank. He had a stack of papers in his hands, and his head was bent so far into those papers, he didn’t even see Amiq. Amiq looked like he wanted to disappear, but there was no place to hide, and the general was closing in fast—but he was studying those papers so hard, it looked like he might walk right on by Amiq without even seeing him. And you could tell for sure that’s exactly what Amiq was counting on.

All of a sudden, Sonny realized that he was counting on the same thing, holding his breath right along with Amiq. As if he, too, were standing there right next to Amiq, hiding from the general. Th

e general walked by Amiq and kept right on

walking, walking without even looking up. Like he couldn’t even see Amiq standing there, trying to act like a wall. Th en,

without any warning, the general stopped short and looked up. Like a hunter who’s heard the sudden crack of a branch.

Something about the idea of the general as a hunter was really creepy and without thinking about it, Sonny started to walk fast. Toward Amiq. He could hear the general’s voice now.

“Aren’t you one of the Eskimos?” the general was saying.

“Aren’t you supposed to be there with the rest of them?”
