It
happened
in
Lancaster
.
When
the
light
turned
green
,
Chalmer
took
off
squealing
his
tires
,
and
Tommy
knew
the
tractor
was
gone
.
He
tried
to
keep
his
face
straight
,
but
he
couldn
’
t
.
He
looked
away
,
toward
the
window
,
so
the
old
fart
wouldn
’
t
see
his
grin
.
When
he
glanced
back
,
he
saw
the
little
yellow
tractor
tumbling
back
down
the
street
,
end
over
end
.
Then
he
saw
Chalmer
looking
in
his
rear
-
view
mirror
,
his
mouth
wide
open
.
He
jammed
the
brakes
,
stopped
the
truck
,
jumped
out
and
started
running
back
,
picking
up
pieces
of
metal
scattered
on
the
street
.
Tommy
broke
up
with
laughter
.
"
Goddamn
you
,
"
he
said
.
"
That
tractor
’
ll
never
hurt
Danny
or
David
again
.
"
Double
revenge
with
one
blow
.
He
had
gotten
the
machine
,
and
at
the
same
time
he
got
Chalmer
.
Most
of
the
grades
sent
home
on
Billy
’
s
report
cards
were
C
s
,
D
’
s
and
F
’
s
.
In
all
his
school
years
he
got
an
A
only
once
:
the
third
quarter
in
tenth
-
grade
biology
.
Arthur
,
who
had
developed
an
interest
in
the
subject
,
started
paying
attention
in
class
and
doing
the
homework
.
Knowing
people
would
laugh
if
he
spoke
,
he
had
Allen
answer
for
him
.
He
amazed
the
teacher
by
his
sudden
change
,
his
brilliance
.
Though
Arthur
never
lost
his
interest
in
biology
,
things
at
home
got
so
bad
that
the
spot
kept
changing
.
Much
to
the
regret
of
the
biology
teacher
,
the
flame
died
out
and
the
last
two
quarters
were
failures
.
Arthur
drifted
off
to
study
on
his
own
,
and
the
final
report
card
registered
a
D
.
Arthur
was
having
his
hands
full
with
the
others
coming
and
going
on
and
off
the
spot
more
and
more
frequently
.
He
diagnosed
this
period
of
mental
instability
as
"
a
mix
-
up
time
.
"
When
the
school
had
to
be
evacuated
because
of
a
bomb
scare
,
everyone
suspected
it
was
Billy
Milligan
,
though
no
one
could
prove
it
.
Tommy
denied
making
the
bomb
.
It
wasn
’
t
a
real
one
anyway
,
though
it
might
have
been
if
the
liquid
in
the
flask
had
been
nitro
instead
of
water
Tommy
hadn
’
t
lied
about
not
making
it
.
He
would
never
have
lied
.
Though
he
had
taught
one
of
the
other
boys
how
to
do
it
,
even
drew
the
diagram
,
he
had
never
touched
it
himself
.
He
wasn
’
t
that
stupid
.
Tommy
enjoyed
the
excitement
and
the
chagrin
on
the
principals
face
.
Principal
Moore
looked
like
a
man
with
a
lot
of
problems
,
like
someone
who
couldn
’
t
solve
all
the
things
that
were
bothering
him
.
He
solved
one
of
them
by
expelling
Milligan
,
the
troublemaker
.
