said Ranger Butowski. “I can’t find my buckle,” said Cayley. “It’s right there, honey, down by the side of your seat.” Cayley groped for it, but she still couldn’t find it. “Right there,” said Ranger Butowski, growing impatient. “I can’t see it,” Cayley told her. “I can’t see anything. I’m blind.” “What?” “We’re all blind, all four of us.” Ranger Edison turned around in his seat. “What do you mean, you’re blind? Are you kidding me?” “It’s true,” said Charlie. “It happened to us yesterday.” “Hey, get serious. You could see us clear enough when we were landing.” “We could, yes. But we don’t know how that happened. We all held each other’s hands, and while we were holding hands we could see. But as soon as we let go, we went blind again.” “Hard to believe, isn’t it?” said Remo. “I don’t even believe it myself.” “You know that people have been going blind all over the country, coast to coast?” Ranger Edison asked them.
