Barry and Randi turned from where they sat on boxes keeping watch. They nodded to me as I pulled the struggling, still half-asleep girl into my lap. Stroking her hair and whispering soothing words was all I had, but it was enough. A few minutes later, her breathing returned to the slow, rhythmic cadence of sleep.
    It had been a rough week. For me. Her. All of us. I looked around the room, a looted and gutted Mom-and-Pop mini-mart, and counted heads: eleven. That included Thalia, Teresa, and
...me. Then there were the others… Barry and Randi Jenkins; a nice couple we met at that disaster of a rescue center at Franklin High School. Barry was just over six-feet tall with a near-perfectly round head that he still managed to keep shaved.

Randi was lighter skinned, damn near as tall as Barry, with black hair that had probably never been to her shoulders.MoreLess
