"Hey," Jim's buddy said. "When any of us here want UGG Boots Clearance your advice, we'll ask for it." Hesitantly, Ollie said: "The generator really isn't that important, you know. The food in the cold cases will keep for twelve hours or more with absolutely no-"
"Okay, kid, you're it," Jim said brusquely. "I'll start the motor, you raise the door so that the place doesn't stink up too bad. Me and Myron will be standing by the exhaust outflow. Give us a yell when it's clear.."
"Sure," Norm said, MBT Shoes and bustled excitedly away.
"This is crazy," I said. "You let that lady go by herself-"
"I didn't notice you breaking your ass to escort her," Jim's buddy Myron said. A dull, brick-colored flush was creeping out of his collar.
"-but you're going to let this kid risk his life over a generator that doesn't even matter?"
"Why don't you just shut the fuck up!" Norm yelled.
"Listen, Mr. Drayton," Jim said, and smiled at me coldly. "I'll tell you Nike high heels what. If you've got anything else to say, I think you better count your teeth first, because I'm tired of listening to your bullshit." Ollie looked at me, plainly frightened. I shrugged. They were crazy, that was all.
Their sense of proportion was temporarily gone. Out there they had been confused and scared. In here was a straight- forward mechanical problem: a balky generator. It was possible to solve this problem. Solving the problem would help Nike heels make them feel less confused and helpless. Therefore they would solve it.
Jim and his friend Myron decided I knew when I was licked and went back into the generator compartment. "Ready, Norm?" Jim asked.
Norm nodded, then realized they couldn't hear a nod. "Yeah," he said.
"Norm," I said. "Don't be a fool."
"It's a mistake," Ollie added.
He looked at us, and suddenly his face was much younger than eighteen. it was the face of a boy. His Birkenstock Sandals Adam's apple bobbed convulsively, and I saw that he was scared green. He opened his mouth to say something-I think he was going to call it off-and then the generator roared into life again, and when it was running smoothly, Norm lunged at the button to the right of the door and it began to rattle upward on its dual steel tracks.
