Jasper walked in between Evelina and Bandolin. "I swear that I was merely following them so I could help! I hit a tree and was knocked out!," he argued for the umpteenth time that day.
"Shut your dirty little mouth! You knew quite well that our next job was to cut down that tree. That's the one place you're really needed. And, just for running off, your goin' to be doing the work, all of it! Me an' Bandolin will just sit back and watch you."
Jasper was furious about the incident, and especially about being found. All his hopes had melted away, and there was nothing he could do about his situation. But he vowed revenge on Evelina... When this is over.
