Chapter 10
Ben frowned. How did Clover know that Ben wanted to be a Ranger. "How can you help me?"
"Wait, wait, wait. You wanted to be a Ranger, Ben?" Torrence asked . The others had remained silent but when Clover said that last sentence they were all wanting to know.
Ben shrugged as if that covered the entire conversation.
"Why?" Tyler asked.
Clover chuckled. "It's quite obvious actually. His father was a Ranger. His Grandfather was a Ranger, and now Ben wants to be a Ranger."
"I kind of wanted to avenge my father." Ben admitted a little sheepishly. It seemed so cool when he thought about it but now it seemed childish.
"Oh Ben, you can't just avenge someone who died doing what he loved." Shauna said. Then she gasped as she realized what she had said. "I am so sorry, I did not mean to make you feel bad!"
Ben nodded. "It's okay. But nothing is going to stop me from becoming a Ranger."
Clover smiled. "That's the spirit!" he said as he clapped Ben on the back. "I'll tell Will that you think you want to be a Ranger."
Ben's heart skipped a beat and Tyler gasped. Clover frowned. "Something wrong."
"No, no everything's fine. It's just...never mind." Ben replied.
And with that everyone stood and went to the door.
"Thanks Clover." Ben said.
Clover smiled. "That's Uncle Clover to you."
Ben smiled back and closed the door.
