That night, Sanborn called.

"So," he said, "you told your parents that I was going with you."

"I guess my mother must have called your mother."

"I guess she must have. So when are we going?"

"Your parents would let you go?"

"They don't care."

"Sanborn ..."

"A mile in six minutes and twenty-three seconds, kiddo. I'll make it."

"Listen, Sanborn, this was supposed to be between me and my—"

"Yeah, I know it was. I'm just coming along to make sure that you don't get busted up in some ravine. You know, part of that mountain is called—"

"The Knife Edge, and you know exactly how high it is and how thin the trail is and how exposed we'll be and how many people have fallen thousands of feet to their doom."

"As a matter of fact, I do know all that. So when are we going?"

Black Dog stood. She cocked her head and stared at Henry.

The wind from the north swept by his window. It was full dark, so he did not see the scoured clouds running over the wreck and above the house.

"You are such a jerk, you know that, Sanborn? And we leave the second of July."

"Ah, the second of July, the third full week of summer break—not the first, but the third, when all suspicions will be allayed, and we'll naturally be gone all day anyway. Deceptive and devious, Henry. Ingenious, even."

"Shut up, Sanborn."
