After the robbers left I sort of went into shock.

Abogee came up and found me sitting in front of the till, its drawers open and empty. I was sure he was going to lose it, now that the drama was past.

What’d you do? How much money did we lose? Why didn’t you call me?

But no.

He didn’t even ask what happened.

He just looked at me, gently patted at my clothes as if he was checking for bullet holes or missing limbs. His mouth was turned down, like he was on the verge of crying. He almost looked like a little kid who’d lost his favorite stuffed animal. When he found nothing missing or perforated, he grabbed me and held me close, like he hadn’t done since I was really, really small.

He smelled like garlic, oily hair, and sweat. I wished he’d never stop hugging me.
