KERRY RETURNED and stopped when he saw them. “There’s someone outside waiting for you,” Kerry told him before taking Henry by the hand and leading him down to his room. Pebbles followed them, so Brian took the chance to meet Janine outside.
“He’s getting Henry ready.”
“How is he going to get the kid to talk? It’s been apparent that he doesn’t want to.” Janine had thought to dress in casual clothes like Brian.
“I don’t know. He’s the child psychologist, so he should know what he’s doing. We’re here to listen and keep quiet. No matter what
we hear or what Henry says, we can’t react or say anything. That would kill any chance we have of getting something useful.” He hoped to hell they got something to go on. Otherwise, they would be putting a kid through hell for no reason.
“I get it.”
Brian’s phone vibrated in his pocket, and he reminded Janine to set
hers on silent as well. He answered Kerry’s text, and they quietly entered the house, went down the hall, and paused outside the
bedroom.
“She’s an angel mommy now, and I don’t want her to be mad. Making angels mad is really bad,” Henry was saying.
“You aren’t going to get in trouble from me or your angel mommy. I promise you that,” Kerry said, and Brian met Janine’s gaze, wondering what prompted this.
