Cory took his coffee and his plate to a dark corner and ate on his own. Rigoberto Colon also chose to eat alone, but he did so within the circle of the fire.

Thomas and James sat at the fire and ate.

“It feels funny,” James said.

“What does?”

“Bein’ here without Pa.”

“I know,” Thomas said, “but Pa’s trustin’ us to do this, James.”

“You think so?”

“I know so.”

“Then why send us with them?”

“The more the merrier.”

James looked around. “Nobody seems real merry.”

“It’s just a sayin’, James.”

“Pa only let us go because he got shot,” James said. “If he hadn’t, he’d be here with us.”

“If he didn’t trust us, he never woulda let us go.”

“How do you know?”

“Because if he didn’t think we could handle ourselves, James, he never woulda sent us out to get ourselves killed.”

James looked thoughtful and said, “Hmph, I guess you’re right about that.”

“Sure,” James said. “You like ’em?”

“Let’s just say it’s all we’ve got.”
