Jacob’s house was just a few doors down, and we

told him if he made a run for it, we’d give him

COVER. He promised that the second his clarinet

lesson was over, he’d come back to the wall with

his coat pockets stuffed with granola bars and

fruit chews.

That got everybody pretty excited, and we helped

Jacob over the wall. Sure enough, as soon as he

touched down on the other side, the Lower Surrey

Street kids opened fire on him. But we fired

BACK and got Jacob to his front door safely.

It turned out it was a wasted effort, though.

The thing about the clarinet lesson was just an

excuse to go home, and when we saw Jacob in his

bedroom window, we knew he was never coming

back with those SNACKS.
