Maddigan's Fantasia Quote I

"Hey, I'm watching you," he blurted out, and then wished he had stayed silent. Timon turned, half grinning. The grin would look friendly to anyone passing-just two boys having a bit of fun together-but Boomer knew there was nothing friendly anout it.
"What did you say?" asked Timon.
"I said I was watching you," mumbled Boomer. "I know about you."
"What do you know?" asked Timon.
Boomer took a breath. "I know the truth," he said.
Timon laughed. "Clever you!" he said. "But what's truth, anyway? It's too mixed up for anyone as little and simple as you are. And you need real imagination to get any idea of truth. You'll never get anywhere near to understanding it."
