Zero's Slider (2009)
“Ford and Uncle Pete must have heard his yowl of pain because they were at his side in a flash. Mrs. Ford ran to get some ice while Uncle Pete helped Zero inside.
Zero’s finger throbbed. It was turning purple as he watched.
Uncle Pete held his hand carefully. “I have to make sure your finger isn’t broken, Zero,” he said. “This is going to hurt.”
He gently squeezed Zero’s finger. Tears ran down Zero’s face, but he didn’t cry out. Uncle Pete sighed with relief.
“Nothing broken, but... you’ve got some bad bruises and lots of swelling. You’ll have to ice it and keep it elevated for now.
Then we’ll put some bandages on it.” He looked up at Mrs. Ford and smiled. “You look about as white as Zero does. Why don’t you both go lie down? I’ll put the food away and get Zero some more ice.”
Zero and Mrs. Ford nodded at the same time.MoreLess
