Connor clearly knew exactly what had just happened. His face darkened right away. Lucas, I really didn't think you had it in you, he thought, but managed to hold himself back from walking over and punching Lucas again.

Connor didn't get mad. Instead, he calmly stepped forward to help Lucas up. While pulling him to his feet, Connor squeezed Lucas's wrist a little too hard- hard enough to pop his arm right out of its socket.
