sadness washed over his face briefly , and i wondered how he was handling the death . what they 're doing is dangerous , not just for them but for all of us : that 's how the disease gets in . he dropped his hand and sighed . i guess he was alright by me . it took only seconds for shade to get into position . i have to rush home for an emergency , but ill be back as soon as i can . quite a way along the coast- ' 'hah ! ' which means the end of sugar . ''
