He seemed like a good kid, and he sure was smart. She was too, if she could believe her teachers. They
had constantly told her she could do better and that she wasn't working up to her potential. But the idea
of sitting up late at night studying instead of running with her friends almost made her gag.

Now she felt like a fool. Like Judd, she missed the family she had squabbled with. She wished she had
followed her teachers' advice. If she ever got the chance again, she would. Everything was different now.
What a difference a few weeks made. More than that, she realized, the difference had come in an instant.
Everything she ever thought or cared about changed when her perspective changed. And nothing could
have changed her perspective more dramatically than mil-lions of people--- including her whole fam-
ily--- disappearing, just like they said they might someday.

"About this? Today, you mean?"

"Yeah."

"'Course. Aren't you?"

"Yeah," she said, "but it's kind of fun, and there's no way I'd miss it. It's like being in a TV show or a
movie--- only it's real."

Several minutes later Judd found the street he was looking for and parked three blocks away and
around the corner. "We've got to hurry," he said. "Fogarty doesn't want us to be around here in case
LeRoy or Cornelius comes early to check out the area."
