Something in him understood, the way children sometimes understand things far beyond their years when they have to, that the rules had changed, that this was not a moment for a child to be a child, and that his job now was to be quiet and quick and brave.
He held the freezer drawer steady while his hands shook.
He crawled to the window and looked for the car.
He kept his voice down when everything in him wanted to scream.
