Summary
As with anything, Nicky's first thought upon the flash-bang-hiss of the grenade is of Joe.
Joe, who's been watching football for the last hour on the staticky TV next to Booker without his noise-reducing earplugs in. Joe, who's been doing so well even in the uprooting aftermath of Sudan and a new family member, grounded and calm at his center from a year of Nicky's careful guidance, his senses free and joyful, his focus steady.
Joe, who Nicky loves.
Joe, who is currently pushed face down on the stone floor, eyes wide and frightened, an armoured knee on the back of his neck as he gasps and his mouth moves silently and he loses consciousness to the throat-stinging gas swirling around them.
