She nodded and he took her arm.	0
I watched them through the crush of dancers as they squeezed along the wall, and the feeling came to me that something was very wrong.	2
Saturday morning, I woke up and saw that she still hadn’t come home.	2

Nathan’s Bylichka	3
I caught a taxi back to the church.	3
It was still a mess, but everything bigger than a soda can had disappeared.	3
The church was completely different now: sunlight fell through the stained glass, catching dust that still hung in the air and sending a dry, healthy warmth into the edges of the room, through the stone and the powdery concrete that had been covered last night by flesh and flashing lights.	1
Standing in the center of the church, I took out my cell phone and called the police.	2
“I need to file a missing persons report.	3
…Rachel Frieze.	3
Last night, walking on West 2nd street around – maybe eleven or twelve o’clock.	0
What?	2
…But, sir, this is an unusual situation.	0
But if you ever should see a faerie, tell him that you are of the blood of Ivan Bogatyrivitch and he will not pass you by so quickly."	3
My girlfriend has disappeared, I don’t even know where to start looking, and I need help!	2
I understand.”	0
The police wouldn’t file a report for someone who’d been missing overnight.	2
Walking out of the church, a little gust of cold air caught me by surprise.	2
A cold front must have hit while I was inside.	0
Glancing down the street, I realized that I didn’t have a friend to drive me home this time, and it was a long walk back to the streets where taxis ran.	2
I pulled my T-shirt’s sleeves down my arms as far as they’d go, but I wasn’t ready for cold.	2
Walking didn’t build up much heat; it just moved the air enough to chill me more.	0
After I’d walked about a block, a car rolled up behind me.	0
I kept my eyes straight ahead and tried to walk more quickly without showing it.	2
“Hey,” said a male voice, “do you need some help?”	2
I turned around.	0
The man looked over forty, and he was driving a car I’d be afraid to drive on this street.	2
“It’s a long way to anywhere worth going,”	0
he said.	3
“Would you like some help?”	3
“Ah, I think I’m fine, thanks,”	1
“Ah, I think I’m fine, thanks,” I told him, and turned back to the sidewalk.	1
As I got older, I shook the tales off with a nod and a "Yes, Nana."	3
“Really, I’d like to help.	2
Please, hop in.	1
You don’t look dressed for this weather.”	3
I glanced back over my shoulder.	2
“No thanks, sir!	2
I’m just fine.	1
Really, don’t worry about me.”	0
“Nathan Spencer, I offer you help.	3
I advise that you not refuse me a third time.”	3
I stopped and looked back at him, surprised.	2
He met my eyes coolly.	3
“How do you know my name?”	2
“I know your family.	1
Get in.	3
We have a lot of work ahead of us, and it’s best to start now.”	0
"Yes, Nana."	1
I walked around the car and got into the passenger seat.	0
Before I had my belt on, we were rolling forward.	3
“Okay,”	1
“Okay,” I said.	3
“I’m in the car.	3
Now, will you tell me how you know my family, and how you happened to be driving by just now?	2
I got older and went to school, then to college, and I replaced the dreams my Nana gave me with the music DJs mixed for crowds in clubs, webs of pulse that shook us until we could believe anything.	2
In fact, why didn’t you call me by name the first time?	3
And how did you recognize me when – ”	2
“That’s enough!	0
I can only answer one question at a time.	3
I know your family because an ancestor of mine made a bargain with an ancestor of yours.	2
I am here now because you called for help, and no-one else would answer.”	2
He turned onto the next street and shifted up.	0
Also, international competitors drew on a large supply of very cheap labor.	0
Jobs were scarce in other steel-exporting countries, and labor laws were either non-existent or allowed employers to pay much less for work.	2
Labor costs in America continued to go up, draining US companies of their resources, while companies overseas were able to cut labor costs and put that money back into updating and renovating their facilities.	2
On a worldwide scale, newer materials such as aluminum, plastic, and composites were beginning to substitute steel both at home and abroad.	0
Steel demand worldwide was beginning to decline, and it affected both domestic and foreign companies.	2
However, to American companies already suffering financial setbacks, outdated machinery, and fierce competition, this lack of demand was an inconvenience they could not afford.	2
Since this problem was a national one rather than a local one, the problems that were occurring in Youngstown were not unique.	0
Youngstown was perhaps hit harder than any other town by the collapse of the steel industry, but it was not alone.	2
The problem was a national one, involving many more mills and issues than Youngstown’s alone.	3
J. Philip Richley, a union member and organizer of many attempts to save 5the mills, has summed it up thus: “You just can’t solve a nation-wide problem in a single city.”	0
“You just can’t solve a nation-wide problem in a single city.”	3
The decline of the world steel market affected not just Youngstown but the entire steel community in America.	2
Trying to prop up one city’s mills was impossible when faced with the depression that spread throughout the entire industry.	2
The Save Our Valley Campaign: Lack of Funds and Plans	0
Eventually, some religious leaders involved in the Ecumenical Coalition joined forces within community members and former steel mill employees to create the Save Our Valley Campaign.	1
As the name suggests, local leaders wanted to instill the people of Youngstown with a fierce sense of urgency, driving them forward to confront steel companies and owners and help secure the future of the region.	3
The events that would follow this date (known as Black Monday) are seen by the people who witnessed them either as stories of great courage and determination or as monuments to human failure and false hope.	1
Marches, speeches, and letter writing were all employed to help stimulate the Campaign and rally the people.	0
But the Campaign was bogged down heavily by the lack of proper funding.	3
The people of Youngstown, being now unemployed had very little money to spend on anything but staying alive.	2
People outside of the area had no personal investment in the mills, and so it was difficult to convince anyone from out of the county to contribute funds.	3
The lack of money proved to be crippling, because it prevented the organizations involved from purchasing the mills to run collectively.	3
Without funds, the Save Our Valley Campaign could do nothing major to help salvage the city’s dying economy.	0
The Save Our Valley Campaign also lacked one essential component: an actual concrete plan.	3
No one seemed to know just how to go about fixing the problems.	2
Letters and petitions were all very well, but they did little to improve the situation.	2
People clung to vague ideas of worker collectivization, but no one could really fathom exactly how that would work; the people of Youngstown were, after all, not particularly familiar with socialism or collectivization in general.	0
