The Battle of Jericho
Genre: drama
Series: Jericho
"Do you really want to be a Warrior of Distinction?" Rick asked. Jericho nodded. He thought of the prestige of having one of those black silk jackets, the admiring glances in the halls at school, but mostly he thought of Arielle. He tried not to think of the rain and the mud and the stink of Rick's feet. "Are you willing to do anything to be a Warrior of Distinction?" Rick demanded. "You have permission to answer." "Yes, Sir! Yes, Master Senior Sharp, Sir! I am willing to do anything to be a Warrior of Distinction, Sir!" Jericho repeated the words that he and the other pledges had been chanting automatically since the whole process began. But he wasn't sure if he meant them any more. "Are you willing to do anything to help the others become Warriors of Distinction?" Rick demanded. "Anything, Sir." Jericho just wanted it to be over. "Then suck my big toe." "sir?" Jericho wasn't sure if he had heard correctly. "If you want to be a Warrior of Distinction, you must suck my big toe. Now!" Jericho looked around desperately; he had no idea what the others were being forced to do. As he lowered his head close to the mud and closer to Rick Sharp's foot, Jericho wondered miserably how he could have sunk so low.
