Summary
Pete’s talking pretty now, telling Ray something about dancing and the moon. From the way he’s looking at him, they might as well be the only two people on the road. Forget the other boys, forget the cameras, forget the unblinking soldiers cradling their carbines, Garraty and McVries might as well be the last two slow dancers at the prom.
Or: Five walkers who think Pete will die for Ray, one who thinks Ray will die for Pete.

Summary
Pete considered the question for a long moment, then said, “tell me somethin’ you never told anybody else.”
Ray blew out a quiet laugh. One foot in front of the other. “You wanna know my secrets, Pete?”
Pete’s voice was slow like molasses in the dark of the night. “I wanna know everything.”

Summary
Pete twists his mouth to the side, rubs his nose, conscious of being observed. “No, I don’t know. I’ve been thinking about a lot of things. Just staying occupied.”
“The old escape hatch.”
“Yeah. Yeah, that’s right.”
“Okay.” Ray studies him a moment longer. “Well? Where’re we escaping to?”

Pete and Ray jump off a bridge. And survive.

Summary
"What d'you wish for, McVries?" It was said by the boy Arthur Baker, two days before he would buy his ticket hemorrhaging somewhere in the brain. Pete regarded him for a moment.
"I had a wish for a long time — years, actually, but... I've changed my wish in the last couple days." There'd been that easy, lopsided grin on McVries' face, the confidence of a man who was in on something everybody else was not: "From now on, I'm gunna wish that the Long Walk has two winners."
He was scoffed at by the boy Hank Olson, one day before he would buy his ticket with his insides spilled across the road. He pressed on.
"'Cause then, in the years to come, people can have hope that maybe their friends might just make it." Pete's easy, lopsided grin was matched by the boy Raymond Garraty, who had known what it is the boy Peter Mcvries knew that everybody else did not.
Ray would buy his ticket two nights later, crying: "I love you, Pete."
The brain, Garraty. Not man or God, it's something in the fuckin' brain. That's what Pete had said. To survive a bullet to the head would be nothing short of a hand-to-God miracle, but stranger things have happened.
