Chapter Nineteen

Bennie -- 1974

THE FIRST THING Bennie noticed, other than the instant darkness and the stinging in her hands, was that she wasn't alone. Two other people were on Inspiration Point with her, and they were engaged in a struggle. Bennie drew herself up to a standing position and took a quick silent step backward, her immediate thought being to get away undetected. Then she heard one of the figures, the smaller one, shout out in pain.

"Ouch! Let me go. Let go. You're hurting me."

It was the voice of a young girl, and the person grappling with her was a man considerably larger than she was. The girl kicked out and made contact with the man's shin.

"Bitch," the man said. Holding her steady with one hand, he brought his other back in a fist, ready to strike.

"Hey!" Bennie called out. "Stop that!"

The man dropped his fist and wheeled around in surprise. "Where the hell--?"

The girl took the opportunity to wriggle out of the man's grasp. She ducked around him and took off running up the path away from the Point.

"Run!" she yelled as she zipped past Bennie.

The man moved toward Bennie. His stance and his face, or what she could see of it in the moonlight, were clearly menacing. Running didn't seem a bad idea, and there was no time to ponder any alternatives. She whipped around and took off after the girl. She heard the man's footsteps behind her. He was chasing her! And he was very close. One good tackle and he'd have her. She put forth a burst of speed and widened the distance between them.

The girl was wearing shorts, and her pale legs flashed directional signals to Bennie. She ducked into a dark space between two small buildings on her right. Bennie followed, completely disoriented. They were in what would later become Riverfront Park, where Bennie was used to seeing expansive green lawns and wide open spaces. But right now it was the middle of the World's Fair, and everywhere were clusters of exhibition buildings, flower stands, concession booths, signs, and garbage cans. They had to be on Canada Island still, since they hadn't crossed a bridge, but Bennie had no idea where on the tiny island they were.

"In here," the girl whispered, and ducked again through a narrow passage. Bennie followed as she heard panting behind her.

They came out behind an exhibit built like a log cabin. The girl hopped up onto a stone wall and ran along the top of it.

Bennie hesitated. She couldn't see well in the darkness, but she remembered that the other side of the wall was nearly a sheer drop down into the river. She again heard the man coming close behind her. There was nowhere else to go, and the top of the wall was a good twelve inches wide. Jill had done it just a few minutes ago, without any hesitation. Bennie pulled herself up and walked quickly, keeping her eyes focused on the girl ahead of her.
