S IMON COULDN’T PAY attention in class that day. He couldn’t keep his mind on training later that afternoon. It was probably for the best that Jason had pawned him off onto a lesser assistant. He kept replaying the conversation he’d had with Tristan over and over again in his head.

What might he have done wrong? What could he have said differently?

About half a dozen times he considered tracking Tristan down so he could try again, but each time he stopped himself. Not only was Tristan currently getting ripped to pieces by Masters on Simon’s own behalf, an inopportune time to be asking a favor, but Simon didn’t want to push so hard that the guy would walk the other way.

He’d said what he wanted to say. More importantly, after a few well-placed prompts, he’d stepped back and gotten Tristan to say what he wanted to say as well. Words were always more convincing if the person saying them thought they were their own idea. While these ones happened to be true, Simon sincerely doubted Tristan would have done a thing about them if he hadn’t said so himself.

So he waited. And fretted. And wondered again and again if he’d blown his only chance.

But then, with a little less than twenty minutes left until curfew, there was a sudden knock on Simon’s door. Half-thinking that Brick had locked himself out again, he answered without thinking.

Although they were all faces that he knew, no one cracked a smile or gave him even the slightest indication of what was coming next. Quite the contrary: in the darkened shadows of the hall, most of them looked rather sinister.

Then Tristan walked through the crowd.

“I filled some of the guys in on what’s been happening.” He looked neither angry nor relieved. But some indecipherable place in the middle.

“Oh yeah?” Simon looked around the crowd now with a new sense of anxiety. Had they all dismissed the notion outright? Resented the fact that he’d dragged their fearless leader into a shit-storm of trouble? Had they come to personally escort him to Masters right now?

He leaned back a fraction of an inch, prepared to make a stand right there in the dorm. If the administration knew he was questioning their leadership, he wouldn’t be long at this school.

One way or another.

“That’s right,” Tristan continued. “But there was only so much I could say.”

His eyes flashed up to Simon’s, and for a moment time seemed to stand still.

“I thought you could say the rest...”
