And now that I had finally found him, I was standing outside his trailer listening to his mother fall apart.
« Hello? » I called.
The door was partly open.
It moved when I knocked again.
« Ma’am? »
The crying stopped.
A few seconds later, a thin woman appeared in the hallway.
She couldn’t have been much older than 50, but she looked exhausted.
Her hair was wrapped in a scarf. She had an IV bandage on one arm.
When she saw me, she immediately became guarded.
