"It was just for a second," she said, wrinkling her nose. "There didn't used to be private property here, you know. It used to be public woods."
"I’m thinking about the aurora borealis. You can’t tell if it really does exist or if it just looks like existing. All things are so very uncertain, and that’s exactly what makes me feel reassured." --Too-Ticky
“No it didn’t.” Biryn rolled his eyes. “Just because he lived out of state didn’t mean it was public property. And I do live here now.”

"Why do you even need private property? It's a small town, everyone knows each other anyway. Except you, I guess." She looked him up and down. "Are you one of those rich types who goes trophy hunting in Africa?"

Biryn rolled his eyes again. “Again, I’m responsible for what happens on my personal property. If you get hurt while you’re here — I don’t know fall out of a tree or get bit by something venomous or something — your parents can sue me. And I’m not interested in losing money on some snot nosed kids.”

"They're not gonna sue you," she snorted. "We can't afford a lawyer."

“They’re not gonna sue me because you’re not gonna be on my property.”

Biryn looked at her coldly for a long moment, then glanced at the boy, then back at the girl. “Yes. But if I catch you back on here — and I will, if you come back — I’m telling your parents. So make good choices.”

Bean shrugged; it could be much worse than that. "Sure, whatever." "Whatever," Monty echoed.

Biryn took a step backward and nodded towards the way they’d been running. “Get.”

Bean took Monty's hand and ran. "This stays between you and me," she told him. "Okay?" "Okay." He nodded.

Biryn stood and watched them go to make sure they actually went.

Bean crossed the border of this property with Monty and headed for the hideout where she knew Hunter would be going. They had three on each corner of the town, and the nearest was behind her house, a lean-to over the crick.

Biryn got back on his Gator and decided to give it a few minutes to be sure they didn’t try to come back. Brats.

They reached the lean-to, where Hunter was frantically checking his spider. She was still in the jar but it was obvious she'd become agitated by the sprint. "Is she okay?" Bean crouched down beside him. "I dunno," he sighed. "Maybe. It's hard to tell..."
