Rand-Brown is the teammate whose guilt seems written on his face — he flinches at Trevor's accusation, then transforms into friendliness the moment his place against Ripton is confirmed. He offers his keys, his drawers, even his pockets for searching, and the bat is nowhere, leaving Trevor feeling badly scored off. His suspicious composure and convenient cooperation keep the reader guessing whether he is the League's agent or merely its scapegoat.
