WHILE THEY walked toward the cars Dane said, "Nathan, this is hard for me, but—"

Nathan stopped. Dane hesitated.

"Wouldn't you like to know what really happened to your son?"

Those dusky movie theater looks bruised over.

The boy hobbled along leading his bike, the two small friends beside him. The girl still slapped at his back for scaring her as they made their way toward the river to follow that black and red bird's escape.

"Doesn't it eat at you? I'd like to think that I could pay your son back, some day, with that little bit of knowledge."

Nathan said nothing. He turned and walked to his car. His broad shoulders flexed uncomfortably. The wind blew dust through the distance between them and Dane wondered if he had not pushed it that much too far.

Nathan took something from the glove compartment. He stepped away from the car and held out his hand. In it lay a gun. And while Dane stared at the black weapon, on a bench of sand at the shore three children watched a paper bird they had given life to ride the thermals, be carried along on the wind toward forever, or at least until it fell.

"That's how much I want to know," said Nathan, "that's how much. And don't ever forget it."
