Outing . unk wir gingen wie Zirkus voller Geschwindigkeit, das Boot ging unter, die Passagiere über. Als der Kid, der vorne stand, gerade schaffte, sein Endof des Bootes von einem eingeebneten Stumpf fernzuhalten.Aber das Heck schwang ordentlich darunter.Der ältere, auf dem Rücksitz, griff mit seinen Armen auf Thelog. Es kam zu einem Kurzkampf, das Boot ging über, und der Älteste wurde suspendiert, seine Füße davongefegelt im Wasser. Aber The Kid hat nicht lange gedauert. Therecame eine plötzliche Biegung, mit dem üblichen Poolan der Wende. Er warf sein Gewicht auf den Pfosten, der Pfosten drang in das tiefe Wasser ein, und so auch The Kid. Er erklärte, ashe ca
