Ah! Sam confirms they suspected something.
Perhaps they've been slagging and going on about the Goonies because they half guessed they hadn't gone?
I think most of 'em knew that they hadn't gone Cos
It appears that way, Supes.
So perhaps they half guessed that they might return?
Therefore, they weren't as cowardly as first suspected - they knew they'd have to face them at some time.
Even in the little that they showed us it was clear to me that Rylan and your Razor knew, and most of the others probably too, or at least strongly suspected.
Although they may have guessed I don't think they realised Speidi were listening to everything, if they did they'd have praised them up to stay on the right side of them, not slagged them off
I agree YR
