Maybe he’s started to have the same thoughts she has, about how you just have to accept this change that’s struck us all, roll with it, find your place in it.So she told Darrell what she was going to Spain for.He said, I’m coming, too.She sees what he’s asking her for.You know, don’t you? he says.You’re kidding me.She brings her hand close to his face.You was never supposed to see it.Bernie.He keeps on muttering the name, like it’s the secret that will make her set him free.They don’t get much more from him.She knows how this goes.If she kills him, it’ll never be over.That’s how it went with Primrose, how they ended up in a blood feud with him.If she keeps on killing anyone who pisses her off, someone will come for her in the end.You know what’s justice, Dad? she says.We’re not having any bloody battles, no one else is coming up to take it from me, no one revenging you, no Greek tragedy.We’re doing it peaceful.We’ll fix you up with a safe place.Go somewhere with a beach.Bernie nods.You always was a clever girl, he says.JocelynThey’ve had death threats and bomb scares at the NorthStar camp before, but never a real attack, not till tonight.Jocelyn’s on night watch.There are five of them, scanning the perimeter with binoculars.If you do your extras and you sleep over and you agree that you’ll work for them for two years after you leave college, they’ll pay your tuition.Margot could have paid for Jocelyn’s college, but it looks good that she’s doing it the same way the other girls do.Maddy’s skein has come in sure and strong, with none of Jocelyn’s problems.She’s only fifteen and she’s already talking about joining the elite cadets.Jocelyn’s half dozing at her watch station when the alarm sounds in the booth.Jocelyn was once scared out of her wits by a shrieking in the trash at the back of the mess hall, only for two enormous raccoons to dive out of the metal bins, biting and running at each other.The others had laughed at her for her fright at that, as they laugh at her quite often.At first, there was Ryan, and that was exciting and fun and intense and, because his skein was just their secret, it made everything special.And the other girls at camp read about it.And then there were little whispered giggly conversations that fell silent when she walked into the room.She’s read articles by women who wish they couldn’t do it and men who wish they could, and everything seems so confusing, and all she really wants is to be normal.She broke up with Ryan and he cried, and she found her face was dry like there was a stopper inside holding it all in.Her mom took her to a doctor privately and they gave her something to feel more normal.And she does, in a way.Except when they get there, there are three men, each carrying a baseball bat, their faces greased up with black.They’re at the generator.One of them has a huge pair of bolt cutters.It’s a terrorist incursion.Things happen quickly.Dakota, the eldest of them, whispers to Hayden, one of the youngest, to run for the NorthStar guards.The others stay in a tight formation, bodies close together.There have been men at other camps with knives, guns, even grenades and homemade bombs.Dakota shouts out, Put down your weapons!The men’s eyes are narrow and unreadable.They’ve come here to do something
