Marching back home, Cael stops to reach into the field, ignoring the way the leaves lacerate his arm, and wrenches an ear of corn right off the stalk. The corn squeals in pain, a sound just loud enough to be heard up close.

As he walks, he shucks the corn, leaving a trail of silk and husk.

Rigo and Lane walk on either side of him. They’re doing all the talking.

“He’s the mayor’s son,” Lane says.

“And he’s built like two motorvators stacked on top of each other,” Rigo adds.

“I don’t know what you’re planning on doing—”

“Cael, you better think about this.”

“—but I don’t like the look in your eye.”

“Maybe take a breath!”

“Cool down a little.”

“Let’s stop walking for a minute.”

Cael hasn’t said a damn thing this whole time. But now he stops and gives them both a look—a look so toxic it could probably kill a ten-foot radius of corn with just a sweep of his gaze.

“This ends here.” His jaw tightens, and his eyes narrow. “It’s time Boyland Barnes Jr. gets what’s coming to him.”

And then he continues walking.

Rigo and Lane don’t say anything after that.
