As Caelan ran toward the little brat, he let loose the pebble in his sling shot. Luckily, it went by his head without hitting it. Caelan ended up where the kid was only to see peripherally that the older boy was coming toward him. Now he would be the problem. Caelan stopped and put his hand in his pocket and took out his knife.

"Okay, boy." Caelan said. "Now what do you wanna do?" He quickly looked at the little brat hoping he wasn't reloading his damned slingshot. He made a mental note that if he came through this night in one piece, he would have to get a sling shot. He figured he could practice in one of the parks or by the sea.
