    Summary

    The merchant, Gnaeus, who had sold Marcus this property, had spoken of a solid main building, of well-kept pens and fertile soil, all newly abandoned by deceitful tenants and only cheap because he was tired of the whole business and wanted the land off his hands for good. He had talked of neighbours and a village nearby with opportunities of trade, but he had entirely failed to mention that the house lay deep in tribal country.

    Summary

    Ray pulled away from Pete like he wasn’t even there and fell into his mother like he’d tried to do before and this time Pete did not need to stop him. No guns swivelled and no voice cried WARNING, FORTY SEVEN. WARNING, TWENTY THREE.

    Mrs Garraty at last put her arms around her son, and held onto him for a long long time.

    ---

    Pete and Ray, after.
