Jim said.
"Ms. Doogan's real tough about deadlines, so we wanted to get started on it before class this morning."
"Uh-huh," Jim said, totally absorbed in the precise width of the slice he was taking off the loaf of bread.
"It's a class thing," Johnny said. "Van and I, we're just lab partners. Along with Fitz."
Fitz was Bernie Koslowski's fourteen-year-old son. "Got it," Jim said, his mouth full. Behind Johnny's back Kate crossed her eyes. The bread went down the wrong pipe, and he choked.
"Are you all right, Jim?" Kate said, grave as Judge Singh in a hanging mood. "Are you able to speak? Can you say your name? I know CPR."
.Dobby was on the air when Kate walked in. Katya, two and a half beautiful and precocious years old, spotted her godmother first. "Kate!" she said, waddling forward as fast as her pudgy little legs would carry her. "Kate! Kate! Kate!"
Kate scooped her up and blew big wet raspberries into her plump little neck. Katya dissolved into a bundle of giggles. It all went out on Park Air, of course, and Bobby was not loath to exploit the scene on his pirate radio station. "Yes, folks, that's the beautiful and deadly Kate Shugak walking in the door, so I'm going to wrap up this morning's broadcast of Park Air's weekly Rummage Sale with these last three ads.
"Billy Mike is looking for a chain saw, he doesn't care what size so long as it runs. That'd be Billy Mike, Lord High Everything Else down at the Niniltna Native Association, in case you've been living in a cave for the past two years. How's that new little baby of yours and Annie's doing, Billy? Cute as a kitten last time I saw her, and about as cuddly. Not as cuddly as Katya, though, sorry.
"Bernie out the Roadhouse says he's taking the Niniltna High men's and women's basketball teams to the Gold Medal Tournament in Juneau the end of March. This of course takes money, of which of course he doesn't have any, so the teams will be doing the usual bake sales and car washes and, he says, they'll be doing an exhibition game against a town team for which they will be charging admission."
Bobby dropped his already basso profundo voice to something approaching a sonic boom, what he thought of as a convincing murmur but which came across the airwaves as a clear and present danger to those who did not obey. "I don't know how many of you have been to the Gold Medal your own selves, so here's something for the history-impaired out there in radioland to chew on. Did you know that the Gold Medal tournament has been going on longer than the NBA championship? That's right, and what's more, there's a rock solid certainty that Bernie's kids'll get a chance to see some Edenshaws playing for Klawock, which as anyone who's ever seen one Edenshaw on a team let alone five will tell you is a learning experience all by itself. The teams are going, Bernie's taking 'em, you're paying for it. The exhibition game is at noon this Saturday at the Niniltna High School gym, and if you're not on the floor, I'll expect to see you in the bleachers.
"Last up, Auntie Vi is hosting her annual swap and shop the first Saturday in April, right after Bernie and the gang get back from Juneau, noon to six p.m. Bring by anything you want to sell, clean out those shops and sheds and crawl spaces to make room for mending gear this spring. Auntie Vi is donating ten percent of the proceeds to whatever expenses the team doesn't manage to cover, because you know there'll be some, and Bernie Koslowski tells me he's going to be anteing up a few choice items from his gold nugget hoard.
"I've got a heads-up for you cross-country travelers, too: Howie Katelnikof will have a booth there and you know how he's always got the good stuff priced to sell. He tells me he's featuring some like-new snow machine parts, everything from the track up, so be there! This is Park Air, and here's some music to get you in the mood for love. What'd I say? Of course I meant
