Chapter 18: What the Bear Kept

Thad took one step, and Dunstan put his boot on the basket.

"Another," Dunstan said, "and they go over."

Thad stopped.

The river was a long way down, loud and black between the rocks.

Beside him Wystan breathed once, slow and low, and Thad felt the tension in the big body without touching it.

"Dunstan," Thad said, keeping his voice even. "What does the Hold get out of this?"

"Order."

"And what do you get?"

Dunstan's eyes narrowed. "The Spring Den.

For my nephew, who has a wife and a baby coming.

A warm cave over a warm spring should go to a family, not to two men and a pair of black runts."

"That's what you wanted all along."

"I wanted it fairly." Dunstan shrugged. "You made it hard."

It was a small thing to say aloud, and he said it plainly, in front of two hunters who had been told something else.

One of them lifted his head.

Wystan moved.

There was no warning.

He shifted in a heartbeat and was a black blur across the ledge, and the nearer hunter went down with a yell.

Thad ran straight for the basket.
