That Friday afternoon, when I noticed Jefferson was missing, I looked around for him. Nobody had seen him all day, and Ricky got worried and started a...king around also. “Where in the world did he get to?” he asked.“Where’s Modanowicz?” I asked.“Why?”Marty had joined us by now, along with Leo, and listened in as I said, “Wasn’t he complaining about Jefferson, and how we should get rid of him at the end of the week?
