all i wanted to do was shrink inside myself . i did n't need help beating this crackers ass . i covered my mouth and coughed , glad he wouldnt be able to see my burning face . he may hunt you , but he did not lock you away here , nor force upon you the choices you have made these last few years . the scrape of ford 's shoes on the metallic boarding ladder was harsh , and worry pinched my brow . he would n't risk you telling anyone ! but ash came after her , just as rapidly .
