"Hey, Jack!"
"Huh?"
Ubi threw an envelope. "From General Washington," he said.
"Get real. It's 2007 for Pete's sake."
With a hurt look, Ubi backed away.
"Come on, we've been friends since 7th."
Ubi, now 20, shook his head. "Man, it's bona fide. Look at the seal."
An eagle, with 13 arrows in one claw and 13 olive branches in the other. Jack gasped.
He slowly, slowly, opened the envelope. Two pages fluttered out.
"My dear Jack,
How are you?"
Ubi read read it out loud.
"No way! George Washington is dead!"
"I don't know! It's a mystery."
Jack's eyes hardened into ice-blue marbles. "It's not, Ubi. You faked this letter."
"You-! Is that written in Kanji? Is it? You're wrong, Mr. President, and I'll kill you."
He flew at Jack. Jack sidestepped and Ubi ran fist-first into a lamp. He howled something in Jpanese.
"Ubi, I didn't-"
"Mean it? You dog, dont' give me American lies. I'm taking the next flight to Tokyo."
"Not with that hand," Jack fired. "Let me help you."
"Get away from me!!"
