    “Look, Sertoff isn’t around. And he’s not gonna be around for a while, so what are you so worried about all of the sudden?” I stopped walking and faced him.
    “You know me Jas, normally I’ll fer yor little schemez. But crozzin Sertoff jest ain’t my idea of a good time.”
    “Stop being such a baby Jamie, and lets try this out.”
    “I dunno, Jas.” he shook his head.
    “Come on, he can’t get us if he can’t find us. We’re not going to go to Earth.”
    “Naw, I gotta bad feelin about thiz. Jas, maybe you should give it back.”
    I rolled my eyes, and glanced down the street. “Look we’ll zip out and be back before anyone notices we’re gone.”
    “No we won’, you’ll go somewhere an ferget the time. Sertoff’ll come back and won’t find you anywhere. We’ll both be in so much trouble we won’ never git out.”
    “Will you stop being such a baby!”
    “What’s going on?” Jabetto walked up from behind me.
    “Oh, I got this jumper and Jamie’s too chicken to go with me to try it out.”
    “I’ll go.” Jabetto shrugged.
    “Yur both nutz!” Jamie started to walk away. “Don’t blame me when Sertoff comez back and findz you gone.”
    Mesiaha ran after him, “Ya’ll go on, we’ll stay here.”
    I glanced at Jabetto, “Well shall we?”
    “Lead the way.” he grabbed my elbow.
    I switched the dials around, and pressed the button.
