Hey, Sam, Drake shouted. I thought youd like to know this isnt my whole army.Sam didnt doubt it.Your girl Brianna tried to stop us. Drake waved a bowie knife in the air. I took this from her. I whipped her, Sam. He snapped his whip hand. The crack was like a pistol shot. I broke her legs so she couldnt run. Then . . .Dekka was halfway over the side, ready to swim ashore. Jack grabbed her and held her.Let me go! Dekka yelled.Hold her, Sam ordered Jack. Dont be stupid, Dekka. He wants us to come rushing at him.I can beat him, Jack said. Dekka and me together, we can kill him.Sam registered the fact that Jack was actually making a physical threat. He didnt remember ever hearing that kind of thing from Jack. But Dekka was Sams greater concern.Im going to kill him, Dekka said in a voice so deep in her throat she sounded like an animal. Ill kill him. Ill kill him. Then she shouted, Im going to kill you, Drake. Im going to kill you!Drake grinned. I think she liked it. She was screaming, but she liked it.Hes lying, Toto said.Who? Sam snapped.Him. He pointed at Drake. He hasnt killed that girl or hurt her.Dekka relaxed and Sam and Jack let go of her.Truth-teller Toto, Sam whispered. He can tell when people are lying.I just decided I like you, Dekka said to Toto. You might be useful.Toto frowned. Its true: you just decided you like me.
