I looked at Justin.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
He genuinely didn’t understand the question.
“Because what could go wrong?”
Justin was already reaching for his shoes.
The younger officer said, “We’re trying to reach Dorothy’s family. Justin may know something that helps.”
Justin was already reaching for his shoes.
“Then we should go.”
I turned toward him.
“Justin.”

He looked confused.
“What?”
“You are twelve.”
“And Dorothy’s lost.”
Twenty minutes later, I walked into Dorothy’s kitchen with Justin and the officers.
Justin moved through the kitchen carefully.
The notes were everywhere once I knew to look.
TAKE PILLS WITH BREAKFAST.
TRASH WEDNESDAY.

Justin moved through the kitchen carefully.
His eyes moved to the wall phone.
“Birdseed is back there,” he said, pointing toward a cabinet. “She feeds them every morning.”
