Finally, Max and Risha turned down the street with the little bakery. It was closed and locked, but that didn’t matter. There were other people standing around at the corner, as if they were looking for someone, too. Risha searched the crowd. Her mother wasn’t there.

“What do you want to do?” Max asked.

“We have to wait,” Risha said. “She’ll come. As soon as she gets the message, she’ll come.” Risha tried to sound certain when she said it, like there was no way anything else could happen. Like there was no other way the day could end.

She and Max sat down on the sidewalk. They leaned against the cool bricks of the bakery wall. A man was passing out water bottles from an abandoned bagel cart in the street. Risha and Max shared one. They rinsed the gray dust from their mouths and each had a long drink. Risha gave Ranger a drink, too. She wet her scarf and used it to wipe the ash from Ranger’s eyes and nose. “There,” she said. “Is that better?”

Ranger leaned against her and let her stroke his matted fur. He was glad Risha and Max were safe for now. But when would Risha’s mother come to find them? And when would he get to go home?
