Bothout the territory with quick flicks of their eyes They don’t see ainst the wall and I’ve got Wyatt in a choke hold I spin them to face the door as I watch the rest of thein round enforcing committee led by my father—every le one of them, as skilled as I

“You know damn well if it involved you, it’d be a nine-ht hand, says as he steps inside Eric is stern, silent, and dangerous He’sup He taughtht me to survive To take rew ser, meaner I learned whatever there was to learn, multiplied by the billionth power The power of kill or be killed Doesn’t matter if you’ll use the skill, it’s an insurance Ever heard of insurances, boy?

“Boy” He steps to me, and I meet his lone dark eye—not the fake one I haven’t seen hiht fully, curling his hand over ot six months, if not less”

“I’ht I’d care”
