When Simon picked up the phone and heard, “I’m Dora Reed, Kenny’s mom,” two possibilities immediately occurred to him: she was calling to invite Davey to some special occasion, such as a birthday party, or there was trouble. Given recent history, more likely the latter. And so when the boy ran down the hallway Simon snared him by his shirt collar and motioned for him to stand there and wait.

“Sorry, could you repeat that, Mrs. Reed?” Davey inched toward the stairs. “Yes, I did know he took the knife to your house … Not beforehand, no, I learned about it when he came home. He said he forgot it was in his pocket.” Davey placed one foot on the first step. “Of course we don’t let him play with knives, but it’s really a letter opener, with a pretty dull blade, in fact. It’s not like a carving knife.”

Davey waved at his father. “Tell her it couldn’t cut …”

“They were what?” Simon stared at his son, the wild look of him, his cheek scratched, his hair sticking out, yet another rip at the neck of his T-shirt.

“No I didn’t,” the boy said firmly.

Simon covered the receiver. “Didn’t what?”

“Whatever she says.”

“I didn’t know that,” Simon said to Kenny’s mom. “I was under the impression the knife fell out and Davey put it away immediately … Yes, that is a different situation.”

When Simon hung up the phone, Davey was gone.
