i hear viola shout- and i turn round to look- wilf is struggling to his feet from where he jumped off the back of the cart- and there 's viola , still running- looking at me and the mayor on the ground , the mayor still breathing , still talking- `` i think i need a healer , todd , '' he 's saying- and simone 's nowhere to be found- simone who was standing right in front of mistress coyle when the bomb went off- simone who was within my reach- `` todd ? ''
