Chapter 14: The Hall

Armand's POV

I lay in the sawdust until the light between the boards turned from gray to white.

My hands were still open at my sides, because she had not told me I could move them.

When I finally got up, I found three of my shirt buttons under the crate and put them in my pocket.

I had done what she asked on the floor of that shed.

I had not done what she was owed.

On the river we have one rule about the word of a man.

If you cut another man's line, you tell him to his face first, in front of his crew.

You do not do it from behind, and you do not do it at a distance.

I had read the Hall's account into the Book twice.

I meant to tell the Hall before I told anyone else that I would unsay it.

My Beta was waiting in the truck at the head of the wharf.

He was fifty, gray in the beard, and he had driven me to every meeting I had ever taken.

I did not tell him where we were going until we were over the Jonesport bridge.

"Millinocket," I said.

"That's four hours, Alpha."

"Then we'll be late for supper."

"They'll be at supper when we get there," he said, and put the truck in gear.
