Not after what they pulled-what he pulled. Jake weaved his way to the center, Megan didn't even try to stop him. His eyes glistened with tears that dare not fall as he gingerly picked up the stained piece of paper attached to the arrow. They all watched silently as his eyes shakily skidded across the paper.

If only he'd listen to those warnings-oh well, it's too late for him now.
