The Boy With the Spider Face
No one ever discussed Preston’s father, much less in front of him.
The initial shock of the words passed over Preston in a look of confusion, then settled behind a narrowing, hateful stare. “You’re dead, freak!” He stuck his hand in his pocket and pulled out a knife, then ran his thumb over a button on the handle. A blade popped out from the side, and Jeff backed away. “I’ll gut you from sack to sternum.” He chambered his arm, ready to stab. Jeff covered his sides and turned just as a car appeared around the corner and slowed to a stop. Preston slid the blade back in his pocket. “A word about this to anyone and you’re dead.”
The window rolled down, and Mr. Drake peered out. “Morning, boys.”
