“I’m not surprised.” Rafferty spoke to Fenimore over the mound of paper on his desk. “Threat of retaliation is their biggest weapon.” He looked more exhausted than when Fenimore had last seen him. “We have to find other ways. You better get the kid out of town for a while.”

“Have you made any progress?” Fenimore asked.

He shook his head. “We’re working day and night. But they’re clever. They hide behind their organization. You can’t arrest two hundred teenagers. The best you can do is haul in one or two of the leaders. But you can’t touch them. All you can do is try to make them talk through intimidation. But it’s a lost cause. Their fear of us can’t begin to compare with their fear of their peers. They’d rather die than be ‘dissed.’”

“Where should I send Horatio?”

“As far away as possible. The shore, the Poconos. Does he have any out-of-town relatives?”

“I don’t know.”

“Find out. He should leave as soon as he’s released from the hospital.”

“What about his mother?”

“She’ll be all right, as long as her son keeps his mouth shut.”

Fenimore rose, shaking his head.

“Not like our day—slingshots and BB guns—huh, Doc?” He returned to his mound of paperwork.
