drake took another bite , holding the food in his mouth , his eyes closed , savoring it before finally swallowing . i was gone before the naming ceremony , so i do not know what they have called him . that was private knowledge and thomas deserved to know before anyone else . if they deny it , we can always stay local . i gripped the rifle and spun around . before i could respond he told me about toby . i came to make sure i was here when you arrived .
