Noah knew Elijah wasn't bad. It had been worse before he came to town. Elijah had never been harsh on any of the street kids, and had never bullied his family the way previous constables had. But he was a constable all the same, and that meant he couldn't be trusted. He pulled his legs up. "I'll fix things like me da', and I'll be just fine. As will James." Because his dad's business was running great.
