  “Naw. I was just down because we’d lost the game!” With that, he thumped Garry on the back and departed.

  Then Todd fell back and motioned for Garry to join him. His face was serious.

  “Garry,” he said, “you are one lucky kid, you know that? What if …?” He let his voice trail away, but his gaze was intent.

  “I know, it was a really stupid move, lighting those matches,” Garry replied. “Believe me, I’ve learned my lesson. It’s a huge mistake to play with fire, whether it’s the kind that burns wood” — he tapped his chest — “or the kind that burns here when you’re angry. From now on, if I need to lose my cool, I’ll find a better way to do it!”

  Todd’s face cleared. “Good. Now, let’s put that whole thing behind us and focus on what’s important!”

  “Winning the tournament?” Garry guessed.

  “No! Dinner! Come on, I’m starved!”

He’s got plenty of opportunity, too: the Rockets are taking part in a week-long lacrosse tournament held at an overnight camp.
