“This fire was deliberately set, Jonathan!” Sava was furious. “Here’s what’s left of the timer, and the smell of gasoline speaks for itself!”

Jonathan couldn’t smell anything but he certainly wasn’t going to question Sava’s sense of smell. He was almost certainly right. “But why, Sava? And why the school, of all buildings?”

Chapter 7: As I walk home I wonder about Oskar.  Is he ok.  No, I should not worry about that boy.   I I.. Finally I get home.
"Get ready Siv your aunt Sofia invited us to dinner."  My mom tells me as she smiles and gets her blue sweater.
No! I become nervous. He lives around there.That means he will see me. In a few minutes we will be leaving. I look in the mirror. At my clothes. I pace around the room. I do not want to admit this. Just like Michelle...
I like Oskar too...

The four of them stood at the end of the tarmac as the engines revved up a bit and the plane turned onto the taxiway toward them.

“Well, now there’ll be someone I can talk to that’s my age.” Jason said in mock seriousness. “No offence, but sometimes you three are a bit boring and predictable. And you’re sooo young.”

“There he is again, Ryan. What do you think we should do?”

“Probably just follow Sava’s advice and ignore him, Janice. He told us not to do anything to attract their attention or get them angry, especially after what happened last week. He said they would all be jumpy after whatever it was he did.”

“What do you suppose he did, Ryan?”

Eli opened her eyes suddenly. Something had awakened her, but…

The knock on the door was repeated, then it opened slowly. “Eli? Are you awake?”

“Yes, Mama. Is something wrong?”

Hannah rolled over, stretched, and sat up.

“Nothing, other than it’s almost time for breakfast.” She quietly closed the door behind her, then opened it again for a moment. “When Oskar wakes up, tell him I need to talk to him alone.”

Sava leaped to his feet. “I told you they would stop at nothing!” His rage was palpable, hitting Oskar and Hannah like a sledge hammer. And by proxy, everyone in the room felt his wrath. “I knew I should have killed Adrian when I had the chance!”

“Adrian is expendable, Sava; a small cog in the machinery. I’m sure there are plenty more where he came from.” Jack knew there was no point in regretting what they could do nothing about now. It would only distract them, and possibly divide them.

“What are you doing, Eli?” Oskar paused a moment at her open door on his way downstairs.

She glanced up at him and smiled. “I’m just trying on my wedding ring, Oskar. I wanted to see if it fit yet.”

“I thought you were going to wait, Eli. You know, until we’re eighteen.”

She avoided his eyes. “I know, but it doesn’t really matter, does it? And I was curious. I know my hands are bigger than they were, just like everything else.” She opened the box, carefully turned the ring over in her hands a couple of times, then slipped it on her finger. It fit perfectly.

Arne ristet litt på de to beholderne jentas blod var i. Litt tykkere enn kulepenner kanskje. Trond ga han et signal om at han skulle slutte med det. Han var sliten i hodet, ville ha ro. Snart skulle de nok slippe henne fri eller noe, håpet han. Hun skulle i vertfall ikke ligge der å gråte for resten av sitt liv.

"Så, hvordan gjør man dette da?" Spurte Arne. Trond fnyste:
"Vet vel ikke jeg."
"Ikke?" Arne la fra seg glassrørene forsiktig. "Du jobber jo på sykehuset."
