Of all the Pioneers it had to be Binny.

Strange, suspicious Binny. Jay had been sure

he had been asleep when he had crept away

from the camp. Binny must have been awake

all along. He had probably been watching him.

He must have followed Jay through the trees

and back out on to the path again. How was he

going to get away now?

Jay kicked hard at Binny’s shin and to his

surprise the young man let go of him.

“What do you think you’re doing, following

me?” Jay demanded. “You’ve got no business

following people. Just go back. Go back to the

others and leave me alone.”

Binny put one hand firmly on Jay’s

shoulder.

“I’m not leaving you anywhere on your

own,” he said sharply.
