500
Bullet sat alone on the way back, across from the coach. Behind him, he heard the voices reassuring themselves that they hadn't
done too badly, had they? Justifying their poor performances to one another, envying the setup at Acorn, declaring that they could
look just as good, if, and if, and if. If you'd work at it, work for it, Bullet thought. Then after they had eaten, the voices got louder,
relieved that the meet was behind them and able to forget exactly how it had gone. Bullet stayed out of it. He wasn't about to mess
with them, people who made excuses for themselves. That kept him pretty much alone, he knew; it marked one of the differences.
