Something was niggling at Simon so much he couldn’t stand it, so he pulled Belize aside and said into his ear, “Why inside the organ bench?”

Belize laughed, showing his perfect teeth. “Would you rather I’d left it sitting on top?”

“But why the church?” Simon said.

Belize tousled his hair and said, “That, my friend, is a story for another time.”

When Buck, Feeney, Also, and Scribbish showed up Hugh tried to act the big man.

“When my dad doesn’t hear from me he’s going to come back with warriors,” he said.

“Good,” said Buck. “Then we’ll get them all at once.”

Hugh obviously hadn’t been expecting that kind of a reaction. His eyes went wide and he clamped his mouth shut. But Editta wasn’t so easily cowed. “You’re all eejits,” she said.

Buck refused to rise to the bait. “You’re going to jail, kiddo. And I for one am going to be glad to see you there.”

“Whatever,” she said, attempting to look nonchalant, but Simon could see the fear in her eyes. Of course she wouldn’t go to jail. She would end up in some sort of rehab program, her doting parents coddling her and blaming everyone but themselves for her behavior. Simon felt nothing but contempt for her. For once he agreed with Buck.

But he didn’t agree when Buck expelled him and David, promising to follow up with a long list of his grievances. The two boys just stood there with their mouths open while Editta and Hugh laughed their heads off. All David could think to say was, “My mom isn’t going to give you any more money,” but Simon was already hatching a plan to get back what was his.
