？Has　everyone　heard　about　the　snowstorm？　We？re　supposed　to　get　four　feet　by　midnight！？　Jackie

Davis；　Nate？s　teen　group　facilitator　at　the　Breakaway　Rehabilitation　Center；　rubbed　her　hands

emergencies　with　crisp；　efficient　formality；　had　paid　the　fine　of　three　thousand　dollars　and

cosigned　an　agreement　that　Nate　would　immediately　attend　a　drug　rehabilitation　program　for　a

minimum　of　ten　hours　per　week。　That　meant　Nate　was　going　to　have　to　ride　the　train　out　to

Greenwich；　Connecticut；　five　days　a　week　for　counseling　and　group　therapy。

？Just　think　of　it　as　a　job；　son；？　Saul　Burns　had　tried　to　reassure　him。　？An　after…school　job。？

Captain　Archibald　hadn？t　said　anything。　It　was　pretty　clear　that　Nate　had　disappointed　him　beyond

Nate　had　relayed　the　sordid　tale　over　the　phone　she？d　shrieked　and　wept；　smoked　five　cigarettes　in

rapid　succession；　and　then　broken　her　champagne　glass。　She　was　always　a　little　dramatic。　After　all；

she　was　French。

？All　right。　Let？s　start　out　by　going　around　the　circle；？　Jackie　instructed　in　a　sunny　voice；　as　if

short；　please。？　She　nodded　at　Nate　to　start；　since　he　was　sitting　directly　to　her　right。

Nate　shifted　unfortably　in　his　Eames　chair。　All　the　furniture　at　the　posh　Greenwich；
