Chapter 37: Nobody Alone

By six on Friday morning we were at the kitchen island with a stack of napkins, and nobody had slept.

The napkins were Breck's idea.

Rand's legal pads made every decision feel like a deposition, and Breck said you couldn't be scared of a napkin.

Hazel had woken at three, and Abram had fed her, because it was his night.

He'd done it without a word and come back to bed with milk on his shirt.

A pumpkin sat on the counter with a note on it in Breck's marker.

Hazel's first. Nobody touch.

"Say it plainly," I said to Rand. "What can they actually do on Monday?"

"The judge can order the test, or refuse it." He drew a line down the middle of a napkin. "Courts don't usually order grown men into a lab because a grandmother is curious."

"Usually."

"Usually. She isn't asking for curiosity. She's asking so that the answer sits in a file." He tapped the left side. "Once it's in a file, the county attorney can read it."
