Gus tries to think carefully about how to phrase this. Because that girl hadn't had the decency to really keep her mouth shut, and it seems like everybody they knew had heard some version of her side of the events.
All the whispering was going on by their old classmates, but at least most of the adults weren't chiming in. Anybody who'd even gone near Henry Spencer in the past few days knew they'd better keep their opinion to themself.
Everybody execpt for Gus anyway, he'd never before been angry at Shawn's dad. Gus liked Henry, respected him a whole lot. Didn't always understand the way he chose to treat Shawn, but it'd never been like this before...
"...I heard, some things." Gus trails off. "Look, I want to hear from you, what happened?"
