***

A few hours after the fisherman pulled Mía from the water, Victor finally left his hiding spot and peeked out the window. Masses of people in uniforms were going door to door. He waved when one of them looked up at him.

A woman in a light-blue uniform spent a half hour under Victor’s watchful gaze fiddling with the object under the porch. When she finally removed it, Victor was reunited with his ma on the front lawn. The look on her face was dazed; she said the smoke had made her sleepy, so sleepy that she had had to take a nap on the bicycle trail. He said that was silly, but he didn’t laugh. Fa was on his way home from New Venice, she told him, then she called Granfa Jeff. Victor could hear his voice on the sonofeed. He said it would be all right, he would take care of everything, and they should go to Oakland & Bayshore and live in his mansion.

As they sat together on the lawn, Victor smelled smoke and soot in his mother’s hair and listened to his granfa’s voice on the feed, feeling like one of the paper boats his class had sailed on the lake, so wobbly that they eventually filled with water and disappeared. What if one day he himself sank, pushed under by the same dark force that had found him in Carmichael today? What if he never bobbed back up?
