If the Witness Lied
“He had had a ton of sugar, hardly any nap and lots of fresh air, excitement and surprises. He is going to have a meltdown.
When Cheryl gets back, they do not want her to realize that they’re inside. They move into the kitchen, where they put on only the stovetop light. They pull the shades and drapes and shut the door from the kitchen to the front hall.
“Tris, you have to hush,” says Jack, putting his finger to his lips.
“Hu-u-u-u-shhhh!” screams Tris, loud enough to peel off the wallpaper. He ...ricochets from one side of the kitchen to the other, loses his balance and falls forehead-first against the rounded wood corner of a chair. He’s not cut, but the last remnant of his self-control is gone. Sobbing and screaming, Tris writhes on the floor. “I want lunch!” he shrieks.
Smithy, who wants both lunch and dinner, tries to pick him up. Tris screams and rolls under the table and out of reach.
Madison doesn’t even try to deal with Tris. Neither does Jack. He hasn’t had anything to eat, either, and if they’re going to have something hot and good, he has to fix it.MoreLess
