'There you are, you little shithead' Morgan bellowed at him. It had been tied at the nape of his neck, Jack saw, but most of it had come loose. The hair of Sloat's Twinner was long, black, flapping, somehow dead-looking.

Wolf struggled up again, his hair plastered against his face, his dazed eyes peering through a curtain of it like the eyes of an English sheepdog. That's it, he's gone, must be, let him go, get out of here. 'Wolf' Jack screamed, but thunder exploded across the blue sky again, drowning him out.īut the Queen's son died an infant, died, he.
