When Milo got to the river\u2019s edge, where the log fern gave way to a rough bank, Buck was already there. Shirt tied around his waist, his lean thirteen-year-old\u2019s torso glossed with sweat, bent over with his hands on his knees. There was something in his face Milo didn\u2019t like.\xa0 \u201cDrop something?\u201d\xa0Buck startled and turned. \u201cNothing important.
