Celeste is sent out to buy sugar for Louis. On her way back, right in front of the orphanage, she is accosted by a trio of white boys about age ten or so. They back her up into a corner. They are not physically hurting her, but their comments are nasty and she is frightened that things must escalate. Suddenly Cole comes barreling out of an alleyway where he had been dumping ashes, and hurls himself at one of the older boys. The boys are momentarily stunned, and not entirely sure what to do about the much-younger boy, but Cole is burning with righteous indignation, so the town boys start fighting back. Celeste goes from worried about herself to worried about Cole, drops the sugar and grabs rocks to start pelting. The town boys, who were just looking for some "fun" and didn't expect this reaction, give up and run away.

Cole and Celeste are basically unhurt. Cole has a few scrapes, but nothing he can't hide from the adults. His biggest injury is a large bruise from where Celeste missed with a rock and hit him instead. Later Callahan insists on practicing rock throwing so that "this won't happen again. My army needs to be proficient with projectile weapons! Friendly fire is not acceptable!" Celeste rolls her eyes a little, but she's secretly proud, and learns to throw a rock with solid aim. Cole is thrilled when Callahan praises his military prowess.
