Richie frowned. "Okay, so maybe I just want to get away from all the grave talk for a bit." Or lie in wait to pester Melinda again," Jason muttered.Ca...ssie tried to look neutral. Richie was hesitant in his comeback, his mouth looking as though it tried to operate ahead of his brain.Jason frowned and shook his head. "Forget I said that. Never mind." Hey, look, I don't want to take your girlfriend, okay? She's too whiny anyway." I said it's okay, Richie," Jason said, his voice strained."I won't. Brad was stunned, I think. I'd never talked like that to him-or to anyone, really. I was kind of stunned myself.Then, I felt Brad on top of me. He said something like, "I'll show you!"

They spent the next half hour pushing rocks too big for a single person to move. Their arms and bodies were aching, but finally, they had created a hole large enough for faint hints of overcast daylight to creep in. With renewed energy, they dug harder, sending rocks flying. As the hole grew, blasts of icy air and snow swirled around them. At last, the opening grew large enough for the two of them to squeeze.
