If you shoot, I will kill her before I die. Yes, Kitai said in a patient tone. Which is why I have not shot you. Yet.

She studied my face for a long minute. Are you going to help my mom? It was a simple question. But how do you tell a child that things just aren't that simple, that some questions don't have simple answers--or any answer at all?
