The demonstration had been a triumph. On the front of the Chicago Tribune the next morning was a picture of Tommy Segovia holding up half of the van Gogh, his mouth wide open. “A Murder Is Announced in Hyde Park,” the headline said. Tommy couldn’t wait to get to class.

As he hurried around the side of the Robie House on his way to school, a man in construction gear stepped over the yellow tape into the middle of the sidewalk. Tommy was just trotting around him when he said, “Hey! You the kid in the paper?”

Tommy nodded and grinned, ready for praise. He’d seen his class on the news last night, heard them on public radio, and had now seen himself on the front of one of the biggest newspapers in the United States.

“I wouldn’t be so proud of myself if I was you,” the man growled. He had glasses with a heavy black rim and thick lenses — his eyes looked small and mean. Startled, Tommy took off at a run, something his mom had taught him to do if he ever found himself alone and in a situation he didn’t like.

At the end of the block he looked back and was startled to see the man still standing on the sidewalk. Arms crossed on his chest, he scowled in Tommy’s direction.
