Batton's complexion was far paler than normal and his expression was one of confusion.

Suddenly, he buckled over his handlebars and let out a primal groan.

"Are you all right?" I asked. "You don't look so good."

"I think I might be getting sick. I need to find..." Here he paused to let out another painful moan. The light changed to green and then back again.

"Do we need to go back?"

"No, I think I'll be fine." He sat up again and I thought that was going to be it, that Jared's plan had not taken into account the resilience of Elder Batton's digestive system. I had seen my companion shovel enough debris into that mouth to feed several heads of cattle.

Fortunately, when the signal changed, Batton was unable to cross the street. Instead, he screamed, "Oh shit, I gotta go!" and pedaled crookedly away. I watched him stop after a block, drop his bike to the pavement, and run into a grove of trees. Yet another traffic cycle passed by while I laughed. It was the first time I had ever heard him swear. In fact, it may very well have been the Elder's very first sin. I turned my wheels in the direction of Jared's apartment.

Suddenly the image of Batton soiling himself felt like a minor triviality. His sin was nothing in comparison to the one's coursing through my mind.
