jacksons voice sounds strange too , but before i can ask him about it , he says he has to go and i am once again listening to the dead air of a phone closed too quickly . outside the main entrance he took a deep breath in appreciation of the cool fall air . this was his punishment for not telling devil what was happening . only because my father thought she did n't need to tell her the truth . we have asked every village , every small outpost for help . she had n't thought much about it .
