OH THAT WAS THE OTHER ONE -- THE BOOKENDS OF ADAM CATCHING THINGS OUT OF THE AIR.
Chapter 8:
Rao flicks the hard end of a french fry at him. Adam doesn’t even look at it, just snatches it out of the air. If anyone but him had pulled a move like that, it would be remarkable. There’d be astonished laughter. Awe. But it’s not anyone. In absolute silence, Rao watches Adam place the fragment back on the flattened bag.
Chapter 77:
He reaches into his shirt, pulls the chain over his neck and head, drops the tags into one hand, sees Adam’s eyes widen a little at the sight of them, and he doesn’t think he’s being stupid when he tosses them across the few feet to where he sits, but afterwards there’s a flash of adrenaline when he realises just how close he might have come to dying again.
Adam catches them without taking his eyes off Rao. Closes one hand over them in the air.
