“We should go,” Lisa said. She turned to Jaw and ordered, “Bring the boy.”
I guess it’s up to Taylor to point out that they really don’t want the Merchants to get five more capes.
Also, bringing Bryce back against his will… Nice reversal.
Jaw grabbed Bryce by the shirt and hauled him to his feet. He pointed at the girl who had been sitting next to Bryce, “And her?”
Ask the girl and Bryce, I guess.
Not that I think they’re going to do that.
“Leave her.” Lisa called out, raising her voice to be heard over the screams and cheering. She said something else, but I couldn’t make it out.
Yeah, seems reasonable enough. We don’t need her.
The crack of a gun being fired went off somewhere.
Ah, right, weapons allowed. I wonder how many Merchants are dying to their peers tonight.
Instead of stopping the crowd, it seemed to provoke them, pushing those who hadn’t been participating into action, like runners who’d been waiting for a starter’s pistol.
…fair enough.
It was as though the Merchants felt more secure with their hands around people’s throats than they did trying to get away.
That… sounds like classic bully mentality. Applying it to the Merchants seems pretty accurate.
