That only left the little one, a baby barely a toddler, to take care of. He had left the woman in her bed, the man on the bedroom floor, the older child in her brightly colored bedroom, surrounded by toys and half-finished models.

The knife had done almost everything it was brought to that house to do, and both the blade and the handle were wet. If it sliced you, you might not even know you had been cut, not immediately.
