He looked up at her. He flinched at the coolness of the water. He formulated a response in his mind. Mommy and Daddy... shot...gun... He opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't form the words.

Jess pouted. "Buddy, you should change your clothes," she said, grabbing an outfit from the drawer and handing it to Kent. She walked out to the kitchen and grabbed the gun. She put it in a box, and waited for Kent to change.
-
Kent sat still for a moment before slipping out of his bloodied clothes. He operated like a robot, taking extra time to figure out what his next function was. He stood in the doorway, holding the clothes with steady hands. He wouldn't meet Jess's eyes.
-
Jess grabbed the clothes from Kent, smiling sympathetically. She shoved his bloody clothes in the box as well, and carried the box outside. She grabbed a shovel.
-
Kent remained in the doorway, his hands staying as they were even after Jess had taken the clothes. He stared blankly infront of him. His mind was running in circles, trying to make sense of everything. He glanced at the clock. Eight o'clock. Dinner time. He waited for his mother to call him to the table. He was met with cold silence.
-
Jess quickly dug a hole in the back yard and put the box in it. She covered the box with dirt, and put the shovel back on the porch. She walked inside and saw the clock. 8 o'clock... Her parents had been getting dinner.
-
Kent stood silently, trying to figure out where his parents were. Chinese.... He swallowed and reached out to the wall. "Mommy...."
-
Jess looked at Kent. "What about Mommy, buddy?"
-
The bottled up emotions finally were set free. Kent collapsed, his body trekking with the power of his sobs and cries. "Mommy... Daddy..."
-
Jess sat next to Kent on the floor and took out her phone to call Bryan. Come on, babe... Pick up...
-
Bryan's phone rang out on his bedside table, playing a loud guitar riff. He picked it up quickly, seeing that it is Jess. He smiles, "Hey, babe."
-
As soon as she heard Bryan's voice, Jess burst into tears. "I don't know what's going on... I got into a fight with my parents... Kent came home with a gun... Covered in blood... They're dead, Bryan. They're dead."
-
Bryan just about dropped his phone. "What... What!? You can't be..." He dropped into a momentary silence. "Are you okay? Is Kent okay?"
Kent sat silently next to Jess, tears still streaming down his cheeks. -
"We're both crying," Jess responded between sobs, "and as far as I can tell, Kent at least saw them get shot. I don't know. He won't say anything, and... God, Bryan, I need you here."
