You don't need to.\"\n\n\"But if she doesn't come...\"\n\n\"She will.\"\n\n\"I tell you what. I'll walk the dog along the rest of the path\nand come back this way. If she's not comehere by then I'll take you\nhome. All right?\"\n\nKevin agreed. But Sadie would come. Unless of course her family\nwas keeping her in the house... It would take a lot to restrain\nSadie. Ke knew she had dropped out of her bedroom window before now.\nHe watched the man and his dog go out of sight.
