Louis
glanced
down
at
the
raked
dirt
of
Gage
's
grave
and
felt
a
wave
of
awe
and
horror
course
through
him
.
Unknowing
,
moving
by
themselves
,
his
fingers
had
drawn
a
pattern
in
the
dirt
--
he
had
drawn
a
spiral
.
He
swept
the
fingers
of
both
hands
through
the
dirt
,
rubbing
the
pattern
out
.
Then
he
left
Pleasantview
,
hurrying
,
feeling
very
much
a
trespasser
now
,
believing
that
he
would
be
seen
,
stopped
,
questioned
at
every
turn
of
the
path
.
He
was
late
collecting
his
pizza
,
and
although
it
had
been
left
on
top
of
one
of
the
big
ovens
,
it
was
semicold
and
greasy
and
every
bit
as
tasty
as
cooked
clay
.
Louis
ate
one
piece
and
then
tossed
the
rest
out
the
window
,
box
and
all
,
as
he
headed
back
to
Ludlow
.
He
was
n't
a
litterbug
by
nature
,
but
he
did
not
want
Rachel
to
see
a
mostly
uneaten
pizza
at
home
in
the
wastebasket
.
It
might
raise
a
surmise
in
her
mind
--
that
a
pizza
was
n't
really
what
he
'd
had
in
mind
when
he
went
to
Bangor
.

Louis
now
began
to
think
about
the
time
and
circumstance
.
Time
.
Time
might
be
of
extreme
,
even
crucial
,
importance
.
Timmy
Baterman
had
been
dead
a
good
while
before
his
father
could
get
him
up
to
the
Micmac
burying
ground
.
Timmy
was
shot
the
nineteenth
...
Timmy
was
buried
--
do
n't
hold
me
to
this
,
but
I
think
it
was
July
twenty-second
.
It
was
four
or
five
days
later
that
Marjorie
Washburn
...
saw
Timmy
walking
up
the
road
.
All
right
,
say
that
Bill
Baterman
had
done
it
four
days
after
his
son
's
original
interral
...
no
.
If
he
was
going
to
err
,
let
him
err
on
the
side
of
conservatism
.
Say
three
days
.
For
the
sake
of
argument
,
assume
that
Timmy
Baterman
returned
from
the
dead
on
July
twenty-fifth
.
That
made
six
days
between
the
boy
's
death
and
his
return
,
and
that
was
a
conservative
estimate
.
It
might
have
been
as
long
as
ten
days
.
For
Gage
,
it
had
now
been
four
days
.
Time
had
already
gotten
away
from
him
to
a
degree
,
but
it
was
still
possible
to
cut
Bill
Baterman
's
best
time
considerably
.
If

If
he
could
bring
about
circumstances
similar
to
those
which
had
made
the
resurrection
of
Church
possible
.
Because
Church
had
died
at
the
best
possible
time
,
had
n't
he
?
His
family
had
been
away
when
Church
was
struck
and
killed
.
No
one
was
the
wiser
,
except
for
him
and
Jud
.
His
family
had
been
in
Chicago
.
For
Louis
,
the
final
piece
fell
into
place
with
a
neat
little
click
.
