He’s supposed to be getting better, more disciplined. Had she made the wrong call? If Bryce was getting training with guns and knives, and still failing to shape up, this thing with him being recruited by Tattletale could be disastrous in the long run.
Hm. Perhaps.
It’s not like I didn’t spend some time right before this call talking about how Lisa is more likely to manipulate someone into villainy than Taylor, while largely forgetting about Bryce.
She waited a minute, then called the same number.
“Yes?” Again, Jaw’s deep voice.
Hi. The little douche hung up on her.
“He hung up on me. I wanted to ask you how he was doing.”
“The boy is learning.”
Yeah, but learning what? Clearly not decency.
“I’d rather he wasn’t learning how to use weapons. If he’s getting in a situation where he needs to fight, you guys aren’t keeping your end of the deal.”
I mean, would you rather he get killed if he ends up in such a situation by accident?
“That would be Pritt. He thinks she’s attractive, and listens to her best, so Minor has her accompany him much of the time. She is a former child soldier, she would have thought self-defense was a good way to regain confidence after the boy lost his fingers.”
…sure, that does make a bit of sense. Just… make sure the confidence extends to other things, and he doesn’t rely on having weapons.
She could imagine Jaw saying that with Bryce overhearing, her brother getting simultaneously annoyed and embarrassed. She liked it.
