"Okay, but why is he always gone? Like, you know how he had that ankle split thing and then that kid, like, broke his ribs?"

Nathan rolled his eyes. "Please tell me you don't have one of the boards with all the pins and red string."

Kai absentmindedly pulled out a notebook, writing in it and tossing it to Leigh. "Find a connection between those."

He smiled sheepishly. "Sorry."

Nathan sighed, pressing a hand to where it had hit. "Where?"
