I wasn’t going to take Hamish’s place at the head of this group. I wasn’t going to be the one who led the rebels to their next hideout and planned what battles we may face or how best to strike back. At least not right away. There were things I had to do, things which I didn’t have time to spend discussing with anyone, and things which I refused to bow out of just because I was a figurehead at the prow of this army.
