Bullet Tillerman, at 17, answers to no one. He runs "because it was what he did, what he was.He didn't run to win races, or to beat anybody. He ran because his body was built for it. He ran for himself. Simple as that." And he's not a team player! Bullet is not a character who will be forgotten easily."
