Seconds later, he hears a faint squishing sound, and then the frantic honking of a car horn.“Oops,” Ba’al remarks, sitting up as though nothing had happened. “Quite a throwing arm you’ve got there. What were you actually aiming for?”Rush raises his eyebrows. “‘Good job’ or ‘thank you’ would suffice.”
