This guy is the funniest! he says. Say something Bunny—say something funny.

Funny Bunny says the customs officer. Funny Bunny—yeah thats pretty good.

And I didnt even say anything.

Are you Brady? I ask him. Or Alex?

He doesnt know who I am and I dont know who he is. We all laff.

See! Kenton puts his arm around my sholders. Bunny is a riot! he says.

The air is starting to swim. The music is loud and we are jumping up and down to dance. The floor is moving like an earth quake. Alex or Brady staggers. I cant tell if I am dancing or not. I am sort of jumping. My arms and legs move on there own.

Alex or Brady moves off to find another drink. The trailer shifts and sinks to one side. At least I think it does. The pole with the flag on it falls over. The song ends.

Where are you skating to Bunny? says Kenton.

Canada.

I know a secret way to Canada he says. No customs or anything.

What way? I ask. Where?

We used to—Kenton starts but the music comes up and everyone goes back to jumping and I cant hear the rest.

What? I say.

When we were in school says Kenton. We did it all the time. Theres a way down from up here he says. There are yellow stickers on the trees to mark the path.

I dont know what he is talking about.

What path? I say.

He looks past my sholder. I feel a hand grab my upper arm. It is the other officer, the woman—Brady or Alex.

Ive been keeping an eye on you she says. What are you talking about?

Ive been telling Bunny about the path down to the river.

No Kenton! she says. He cant go to Canada. Hes a criminal. He broke out of jail. He has to stay here.

What? says Kenton. Is this true?

Sort of.

You are joking—rite?

No joke says Brady or Alex. She drags me away. The music is on and people are drinking and bouncing.

I still dont trust you she says. And I dont want Kenton helping you. Come here.

I have to go with her. She is so big she is like a troll. Her hand is a hook. She pulls me to the other room of the trailer and locks me in.

The good news is I am not with Vi and the other kid nappers. But I am still locked up in an empty room with no window or telephone or chairs. It is not as cold as the basement in the Newman house but it is pretty cold. I zip up my coat and slump until I am sitting on the plastic carpet. The music gets louder and the floor bounces under me when everybody starts dancing. I sit with my legs strait out. My skates are done up.
