Re: Campbells.
Still not moving away from where he stood in the center of the hallway, Ford pulled both straps of his backpack over his shoulders to free both arms. One of the straps had been repaired in two places with duct tape, and it stayed in place with rather pathetic determination, not unlike Ford and his overgrown hair and panicked blue eyes.
He put his hand down at his side at about Nathan's height, indicating the boy without describing his presence, and then drew himself away from the invisible figure he had made. Ford put both sets of fingertips on his chest, then pointed at the invisible Nathan, and then himself. He made a sharp motion with his hand between himself and the invisible boy, a rowing of his palm through the air, Then he cut the air in half with a vehement motion. He and Nathan were not to occupy the same space. It could not have been more clear if he had shouted it, and he was already a little out of breath trying to get the point across.
