"I told you it was there," Polly said again. In the Firebird, Miss Dingley and Mrs. O'Neal sat with the win- dows rolled up. Gnats, mosquitoes, and moths crowded to swirl in the headlight beams. "Where are they? Where are they?" muttered the old woman. "Idiot to let them go off like that!"

Luke and Polly huddled in the backseat. Their eyes, eerily light, looked fluorescent in their mud-brown faces. Their skin was blistered with scratches. "It got dark so fast," Polly mumbled. "And then we got lost." Her mouth was stiff with dried mud. "Poor things, poor things," sighed Mrs. O'Neal. Miss Dingley twisted around. "Was it there?"
