As
he
approached
the
top
ledge
of
Logan
Dam
,
a
narrow
ridge
just
wide
enough
for
his
cycle
wheel
,
he
turned
his
headlight
off
;
its
reflection
in
the
fog
would
blind
him
.
With
the
headlight
out
,
he
could
see
black
on
two
sides
and
the
light
strip
of
the
ridge
down
the
middle
.
He
kept
his
wheel
centered
.
It
was
dangerous
,
but
he
needed
the
danger
.
He
needed
,
once
again
,
to
conquer
something
.
It
didn
t
have
to
be
something
illegal
,
but
every
now
and
then
he
had
to
do
something
dangerous
,
had
to
feel
the
adrenaline
pumping
.
He
needed
to
be
a
victor
.
He
had
never
ridden
the
dam
ridge
before
.
He
didn
t
know
how
long
it
was
.
He
couldn
t
see
that
far
ahead
.
But
he
knew
he
had
to
go
across
it
fast
enough
,
with
high
enough
torque
,
to
keep
from
falling
to
either
side
.
He
was
terrified
,
but
he
had
to
give
it
one
hell
of
a
tfy
.
He
kicked
off
and
roared
down
the
center
of
the
narrow
ledge
.
When
he
was
safely
across
,
the
turned
and
came
back
again
.
Then
he
screamed
and
cried
and
the
tears
rolled
down
his
cheeks
,
chilled
by
the
wind
in
his
face
.

He
went
home
exhausted
and
dreamed
he
was
shot
and
dying
on
the
footbridge
because
the
Teacher
had
frozen
and
let
them
all
down
.
On
Monday
,
September
17
,
the
day
of
the
hearing
,
as
the
writer
walked
down
the
corridor
of
AIT
and
saw
Billy
waiting
for
him
,
he
could
tell
by
the
knowing
smile
,
the
clear
-
eyed
look
and
nod
,
that
it
was
the
Teacher
.
They
gripped
each
others
hands
.
"
Good
to
see
you
,
"
the
writer
said
.
"
Its
been
a
long
while
.
"
"
A
lots
been
going
on
.
"
"
Lets
talk
privately
before
Goldsberry
and
Thompson
get
here
.

They
stepped
into
a
small
conference
room
,
and
the
Teacher
told
the
writer
of
the
shooting
,
of
unfusing
,
of
Allen
leasing
a
new
sports
car
so
that
he
could
take
off
for
Lexington
to
be
treated
by
Dr
.
Wilbur
as
soon
as
the
judge
reversed
the
guilty
plea
.
"
Who
s
been
talking
to
me
,
pretending
to
be
you
in
the
last
month
while
you
were
gone
?
"
"
It
was
Allen
,
"
he
said
.
"
I
m
sorry
.
Arthur
knew
you
d
be
hurt
to
find
out
that
I
d
unfused
.
Normally
he
would
not
have
concerned
himself
with
a
person
s
emotions
.
I
can
only
assume
he
reacted
like
that
because
his
judgment
was
impaired
by
the
shock
of
the
shooting
.
