Roadmaster EXERPT

This Friday Adam got out of school after lunch and joined his younger brothers on the sidewalk. Within minutes, the bright red Buick Roadmaster convertible came into view. The three boys piled into the back. The top was down. And soon the Panflicks were on the West Side Highway, heading toward Hawthorne Circle. Pickinsboro was a good four hours north and they would have no break until the Route 23 turnoff near Hudson, NY.

There had been no smacking down that day. Slake and Adamov had avoided Adam and he them. Fairweather was in charge and it appeared he would become Maldbar’s replacement. Whatever happened with Maldbar, Adam believed that the days of tweaking were past. Some bullying might continue. He doubted Jones had convinced Slake and Adamov, though he was very happy that he showed up. Yesterday’s statement by the Principal had force. The school had never heard such words.

Adam actually looked forward to getting to the Pickinsboro house. It was new, though made from old boards. It had the appearance of having been around for years. The Panflicks had built it during the war.
