21 ▪ NOTHINGNESS
They arrived back at Duer at about eight last night, and were reminded by a few peers that Mrs. McWalsh wanted part of a project due the next day. Not needing another bad grade, Oswin concentrated his diligence on schoolwork and reluctantly put off an intensified search of Nicholas Shadden until that Monday morning as an ironclad delay of gratification, since their research while driving back hadn’t led to much.
Noah and Emma walked into the library together, finding Oswin at a table. He turned the laptop around when they approached.
“Wha—?” Emma started as her eyes caught on The Seattle Times. “Obituaries…” she read, looking at an aged man dressed in a Navy uniform.
“ ‘Nicholas Adalward Shadden passed away August third, 2004’,” Oswin began, unable to see the screen, but neither remembering it nor needing to. “ ‘He was an esteemed Navy lieutenant who continued to devote his time to his country after Honorable Discharge due to injury. Nicholas was 65’.”
“There has to be something we’ve missed — that we could get,” Noah thought aloud. He sat down and looked over Oswin. Oswin wasn’t so hopeful. He doesn’t even have any family that we could talk to.
“Let’s just get to class…” He closed the laptop, waiting for Noah and Emma to stop exchanging looks so they could get to first period.
Why? he asked himself, unable to find an answer worth his time after having driven a thousand miles for the smallest piece of information, which turned up dead.
