You are 12 years old. It's the summer. You are happy because your cousin is visiting. But one "dark, dark night, four hours before sun up," you wake up and your father is standing in your bedroom with two men. Your mother is screaming and crying. The men have come for your cousin. He walks out of the bedroom with these strangers. You hear the car drive off but you never hear it come back again.

Your mother, terrified, leaves home. You find out your cousin is dead. Your dad and you are in danger because you are witnesses to a crime.
