at half-past eight, dicey herded everybody back into the mall, to use the bathrooms they had found earlier. later, sammy and maybeth fell asleep easily, curled up along the back seat. james moved up to the front with dicey. dicey couldn't see how they were both to sleep in the front seat, but she supposed they would manage it. james sat stiffly, gripping the wheel. james had a narrow head and sharp features, a nose that pointed out, pencil-thin eyebrows, a narrow chin. dicey studied him in the darkening car. they were parked so far from the nearest lamppost that they were in deep shadows.

On november 17, 1968, football fans across the united states sat glued to their televisions. a close game between two top teams—the new york jets and the oakland raiders—was being broadcast. when the jets pulled ahead with only fifty seconds remaining, viewers went wild. but then, just as the raiders were bringing the ball across midfield, the game disappeared from the screen! in its place, a previously scheduled children's movie, heidi, started playing. callers flooded the tv network's phone lines, but it was too late. the raiders scored two touchdowns in the very final moments—touchdowns that were unseen by all but west coast viewers. as a result of the interrupted event, dubbed "the heidi game," television networks began delaying their regularly scheduled programs until football games had ended.
