Or Be Eaten: Wild escapes. A desperate journey. And the ghastly Fangs of Dang. 41Four Apples and a Plan The Overseer sat at his desk, wearing his ridiculous hat and trying his best to look angry. Janner didn’t care. He resolved to play dumb and pretend to be broken. He nodded his head and waited for the man to finish talking about “obeying” and how there was “no chance for escape” and that Janner was “just a tool now.” At this last, it was all Janner could do to keep quiet. The Overseer warned him that next time he tried to escape, he would spend three days in the box, not just two. Two days? Janner thought with a shudder. It had felt like a lifetime. He couldn’t imagine a third day in the coffin. As Mobrik led him back across the empty room where the carriage sat, Janner caught a sweet smell. Against the wall near the door sat three baskets of apples, berries, and melons. Mobrik took a deep sniff and giggled. “Hurry up, tool,” said Mobrik. “I’ve fruit to eat once you’re back at work.”
