Chapter 16

“How does that damned hat stay on?” Anand asked, his voice hoarse.

It was true—Beaners was still wearing his little red-with-yellow-stripe derby hat, despite the wind and the waves, despite all the running they’d done. In fact, Celia couldn’t remember ever seeing him take it off. “It’s not attached to you, is it?”

Beaners gave her an acid look. “No, my hat is not fused to my head. I can take it off if I want.”

“So take it off,” Anand said.

“I don’t want to.”

Celia was tempted to snatch it off his head, but, even though Beaners seemed less like a finger on a trigger than when they’d first met, she didn’t want to risk his wrath.

“What did you do that made the other clowns so furious, the day I first met you?”

“I told you, it was a misunderstanding.”

“Oh, come on,” Anand said. “She saved your life. Don’t you think you owe her a little honesty?”

Beaners swept his hat from his head, revealing a bald spot the exact circumference of the hat. “Fine. I threw the performance. A knife-thrower named Alexandra was going to give me a ham biscuit.” Beaners put the hat back on. “Guess I was too obvious.”

“See?” Anand said. “That wasn’t so hard.”

Beaners splashed water in Anand’s face. Anand wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. “Damn, that stings.”
