Ballard and Healey were now brought on deck, Ballard’s arm bandaged and both men shirtless. Both were stout men, not overly tall, but heavily muscle.... Two gratings had been set up to which they were tied. Healey would be the first, and Thomas announced the reason for the flogging, namely provoking Ballard with offensive language.Healey took the twelve lashes without a sound.

By the time the world stoppedspinning, it was too late."I nodded, my voice stolen away. Lauren had admired. He may get help from others, but his future is his own to make. Rule number two: best be worryin’ ’bout your own-self. Don’t worry over nobody that don’t worry over you. Everyday I’ll be givin’ ya rules to learn an’ live. James says you’re sharp as a whip, and twice as dedicated to getting your goal as anyone he’s ever seen. Yours truly excluded course.
