Beth went over to her. There were many footprints in the white powder by the pump.

“Hi,” Beth said. “Have you seen a boy about my age here?”

The girl nodded.

“Which way did he go, Rosie?” Clyde asked.

Rosie pointed north. “He was with Dr. Snow. My brothers chased them after you broke our pump,” she said.

Beth hoped Patrick was okay.

“You usually get your water here, don’t you?” Clyde asked.

Rosie nodded. “But only my dad drinks it. My oldest brother brings water home for us. It’s from a pump by his work,” she said.

“Anyone sick in your family?” Clyde asked.

Rosie frowned. “My dad,” she said. “He moans day and night.” She kicked a rock on the ground with her bare foot.

Beth hugged Rosie. “I’m so sorry.”

“Me too,” Clyde said. He started walking away from the pump.

Beth followed him. She would get water for Timothy’s mother. Then she’d return and look for Patrick.
