He accepted a congratulatory slap on the back from a creepy kid named Antoine, part of Zil’s little posse.“ Because it would mean getting some kids killed, ” Sam said bluntly. “We’d be lucky to rescue any of the food, and we’d end up digging more graves in the plaza. And it wouldn’t solve our problem, anyway. Michael Grant
