.
Johnny
suggested

She
refused

she
told

sin
.

She

He
beat
her

The
Teacher
remembered
that
Billy
s
first
inner
friend
had
no
name
.
One
day
four
months
before
his
fourth
birthday
when
Jimbo
wouldn
t
play
with
him
,
Kathy
was
still
too
little
and
Daddy
was
too
busy
reading
a
book
,
Billy
sat
alone
in
his
room
with
his
toys
,
feeling
lonely
and
bored
.
Then
he
saw
a
little
boy
with
black
hair
and
dark
eyes
who
sat
across
from
him
and
just
stared
.
Billy
pushed
a
toy
soldier
toward
him
.
The
boy
picked
it
up
,
put
it
into
the
truck
and
moved
it
back
and
forth
,
back
and
forth
.
They
didn
t
speak
,
but
even
without
talking
,
it
was
better
than
being
all
alone
.
That
night
Billy
and
the
little
boy
with
no
name
saw
his
father
go
to
the
medicine
cabinet
and
take
out
a
bottle
of
pills
.
The
mirror
reflected
Daddy
s
face
as
he
emptied
the
bottle
of
yellow
capsules
into
his
hand
and
swallowed
them
.
Then
Daddy
sat
down
at
the
table
,
Billy
lay
down
in
his
crib
and
the
little
boy
with
no
name
disappeared
.
In
the
middle
of
the
night
his
mother
s
scream
woke
Billy
.
He
watched
her
rush
to
the
telephone
to
call
the
police
.
With
Jimbo
standing
beside
him
at
the
window
,
Billy
looked
on
while
they
wheeled
the
stretcher
and
the
cars
with
the
flashing
lights
took
Daddy
away
.
In
the
days
that
followed
,
Daddy
didn
t
come
back
to
play
with
him
,
and
Mommy
was
too
upset
and
busy
,
and
Jimbo
wasn
t
around
and
Kathy
was
too
little
.
Billy
wanted
to
play
with
Kathy
,
talk
to
her
,
but
Mommy
said
she
was
a
little
girl
and
he
had
to
be
very
,
very
careful
.
So
when
he
got
lonely
and
bored
again
,
he
closed
his
eyes
and
went
to
sleep
.

"
Christene
"
opened
her
eyes
and
went
to
Kathy
s
crib
.
When
Kathy
cried
,
Christene
knew
by
the
expression
on
her
face
exactly
what
she
wanted
,
and
she
went
to
tell
the
beautiful
lady
that
Kathy
was
hungry
.
"
Thank
you
,
Billy
,
"
Dorothy
said
.
"
You
re
a
good
boy
.
You
watch
your
little
sister
and
I
ll
get
dinner
ready
.
Then
I
ll
come
and
read
you
a
bedtime
story
before
I
go
to
work
.
"
Christene
didn
t
know
who
Billy
was
or
why
she
was
being
called
that
,
but
she
was
happy
she
could
play
with
Kathy
.
She
took
a
red
crayon
and
went
to
the
wall
beside
the
crib
to
draw
Kathy
a
picture
of
a
doll
.
