"No need. Rusty is fine. Save those other names for someone else."
Although Rusty was dejected, he accepted the name. Seeing his miserable-but-unable-to-complain expression put Evelyn Ford in an excellent mood. 'After all, the kid had it coming for crossing me before. If I didn't teach him a little lesson, I wouldn't be me.'
Naming him that was partly to get back at the kid and partly just a prank. Evelyn Ford wasn't good at thinking of names, so she had passed the task on to Officer Graham.
After a two-day rest, everyone got back to work. Rusty and the other newcomers weren't idle either; Evelyn Ford had them stay by Officer Graham's side to help out. Once they were fully healthy, they would join the main group in planting trees.
