**
At 7:15, Tom slouched his way into the kitchen, where Ricky was shaking his way through the drained cereal boxes. Tom slapped his handgun on the table. "Find anything but crumbs?" he asked. "Yeah," Ricky said, "A mangled apple." They unwrapped a pair of granola bars and chewed them slowly, running tall glasses of tap water for dessert. They watched the morning news while they ate. The headline: 264 more Americans killed in the Great Terror War. "This is Brock Delahunt from Local 8 News reporting live, six blocks east of the downtown area," a reporter said. "Extremists ambushed at least 20 families in their homes last night, resulting in a massive death toll for both sides as the enemy savagely refused to respect standard rules of engagement. Women, raped. Children, gutted. Will it ever end?" Video feeds showed houses burning and hooded Arabs, many of them appearing very young, rallying in sidestreets with AK-47 rifles. "This has got to stop, absolutely has to end immediately," said Ken. Gov. Patterson, who was identified by the letter R in parenthesis and wearing a dark blue suit and tie.
Tom shut off the TV, gulped down the last of his water, set the glass on the table and looked at Ricky. "You still got plans for on the bus?"
"Um," Ricky said. "I can't decide."
Tom said, "Just take it with you."
The Colt felt heavy in his beltline and pressed into his left pelvic bone. He pulled his t-shirt over the grip as he slung his backpack. Feeling it slip a little, he lifted it by the barrel through his pantleg until it hooked solidly on his waistband. Outside, the bus was trying to pass by, but it stopped when the driver saw them waving. They made a half-jog to it. As the door wheezed open, the driver sneered at them. "Sorry, but I can't run," Ricky said, and climbed in.
Blink-182 was a couple rows ahead of where they sat and he was already nodding his head furiously to the music. Ricky tried to ignore him but there was nothing but other kids and the row numbers to look at. Tom was looking out the window. Then, sure as shit, Blink-182 broke into song, this time with some Insane Clown Posse lyrics: "WHAT IS A JUGGALO? A FUCKIN' LUNATIC..."
Ricky cringed and yelled at the kid, "Dude, shut up. I'm sick of hearing it." The kid turned, surprised, and continued singing, "SOMEBODY WITH A ROPE TIED TO HIS DICK." Ricky raised his voice. "I said, shut the fuck up." Blink held his iPod in view and ran his finger along the clickwheel, clearly turning up the volume in his earbuds. "Shove off, faggot," he said. Then Jessica Symonds with her mock trial shirt and khaki shorts stood up from four rows back and said, "Excuse me, but could you please not use that bigoted language in my presence?" Blink shot her a scowl and snapped, "Bitch, shut your cunt mouth." He threw his hands in the air. "I can say whatever I want. Cunt, cunt, faggot faggot faggot. I love it when you call me Big Poppa." He looked at Ricky. "How do you like it, queer?"
Tom gave Ricky an ambivalent look. It said 'do what you feel is right.' "I don't have to listen to this and I'm telling the principal," nerd-girl said. Ricky looked at her and at Blink. Blink was waiting for him to make a move. "Swear to God you better shut up," Ricky said. "I'll shoot you in the goddamned face." It was a rush to say that, completely adrenalizing. He pulled the gun from his waist and aimed it, his finger wrapped loosely around the trigger. "A juggalo is some idiot full of holes," he said. Blink pulled the buds from his ears and shuddered. "Man, I was just clowning. I didn't mean to fuck with you man, serious." Ricky sneered and cocked the hammer on the .45.
"Oh shit, come on," Blink said. "Don't fucking kill me."
