Stolen Summer Page #5

Danny! He's in the back!

He's in the back! [ Crying ] Danny! Danny! He's in the back. [ Shouting continues ] They're gonna get him. He's in the back. [ Crying ] It's alright.

They're gonna get him. They're gonna get him. It's alright.

It'll be alright. You're gonna be alright,

okay? You're gonna be alright. His legs are moving.

He's gotta be okay. Danny! Danny!

He's alright, yeah? Get some oxygen on him! Okay, there's a woman inside --

Esther -- upstairs! Same place!

It's gotta be the same place! No, we're going back. Joe, it's too hot. Let go of me!

Keep your hands off me! Oh! [ Fire crackling ] [ Indistinct shouting ] I'm alright.

You alright? Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Alright, we gotta get back

at this. There's still a lady

in there, guys. Joe, it's too hot! [ Indistinct talking ] [ Sighs ] How's the kid doing? He's good.

Yeah? Alright? Dad! Dad! Seamus. How many times have I told you

not to chase fire engines? And you brought

your little brother? How many times

have I told you? You know what's going on

here, huh? Get your can home

right now. Stay there until

I get back. Sorry, ma'am. The fire was huge. It was really big. Mm-hmm. I wonder

who that kid was. [ Whistles ] How many times have I told

you boys, huh? You don't chase fires.

You run away from them. You know a lady died

in that fire today? Who? An older lady who was

babysitting the rabbi's kid. She died. What were you doing

in that neighbourhood anyway? Huh? What, a couple of mutes? Alright, fine.

You're both grounded. You do not leave

this block. If I find out either one

of you left this block, you will get a spankin' that you will still feel

on your 16th birthday. But the baseball field... [ Door opens, closes ] [ Crickets chirping ] Hey, what are you

doing up? Huh? I couldn't sleep. Dad, Seamus was

only in the area because he was

checking up on me. See, I'm -- I'm on my quest

to meet a Jewish person and help them get to Heaven. What are you talking

about? I don't even think Jewish people

believe in Heaven the way

you and I do. I asked Mom, and she said they could be

converted through Jesus. Well, I also asked

Father Kelly in Religion class. He said it's the role

of a good Christian. He said that? Mm-hmm. So, anyways, I've been going over to

the synagogue on Greenwood. You've been going over

to that synagogue? Yeah, I've been looking

for Jewish people there. Yeah, any Jews over there?

Yeah, I met Rabbi Jacobsen. He's like a priest

but not as scary. He's really nice. Mm-hmm. How old are you? 8...and 1/2. You should be worried

about baseball and going to the swimming pool

and being asleep at 9:00. That's all you should be

worried about, alright? Don't go over to that synagogue
