"You are such a wimp."
"Am not!"
Shawn snorted. "You fainted! Like a little girl!"
I glared at him. "It was the last straw, Shawn," I said. "We ran all day and then I was forced to carry your sorry butt through the woods. Have I mentioned that your heavy?"
"Yes. Yes you have. A million times." Shawn turned, looking out at his dad's lawn.
It was two days after our ordeal in the woods. Shawn's knee was bandaged and his leg was currently resting on a stool and we were sitting on Mr Spencer's back porch. Gwen Hastings had been put in prison and was awaiting trial, but things weren't looking good for him. At the least he'd probably get close to 20 years in jail.
Shawn and I had been released the day before after Shawn had had surgery on his knee and we'd both been treated for mild hypothermia and exposure.
Shawn looked back at me, his face suddenly serious. "You saved my life, Buddy. I owe you one."
"You would have done the same for me." I reached out my fist out.
Shawn did the same and we gently touched.
And smiled.
