Chapter 19: The Ring
Torrey was on his feet before Myra finished.
"That's it," he said. "That's the end of it. We take this to the keeper right now. Silver's forbidden in the ring. She'll stop it."
"And Lon will say Myra's lying," I said.
"I'm not lying!"
"I know you're not. But you're my best friend, and you were sitting in a truck in the dark. He'll say you made it up to save me. He'll pull Cleve's lip up in front of everybody, and there'll be nothing there, because he'll have taken them out by then."
"If I say it now, it's my word against his," I said. "If they see it in Cleve's mouth tonight, in the ring, it's every wolf's eyes against his."
"In the ring," Torrey said, "it's silver in your throat."
"Then I'll keep my throat out of his way."
He looked at me.
"I'm your second," he said finally, very quietly. "I said I'd stand at the rope. I'll stand at the rope."
The ring is a circle of hay bales on the infield, forty feet across, where my great-great-grandfather fought for the seat.
