“What happened to Andrew while you were helping Mr. Henson?”
Benny explained that he and another officer had been patrolling nearby.
They noticed Andrew standing beside a fence, calling for his brother.
When they approached, they saw Logan assisting Walter while speaking with the emergency dispatcher.
One officer helped Logan.
The other stayed with Andrew.
After the ambulance left, Benny brought both boys home.
“I knew your family,” he explained. “I thought it would be better to tell you in person.”
Then he looked at me apologetically.
“I’m sorry my phone call sounded alarming.”
I gave a shaky laugh.
“You nearly gave me a heart attack yourself.”
He smiled.
“That’s what my wife tells me about my telephone manners.”
Just then, Andrew woke up.
He climbed off the couch, shuffled toward Logan, and wrapped his arms around his older brother’s leg.
“Logan?”
“Hey, buddy.”
“You were helping the man?”
