his greatest strength isn’t his at all.

Tuesday, January 12, 1993
“Ride, Kenny?”
“No, thanks. It’s a good night to be outside.”
“See you tomorrow at school, then.”
“You bet.”
Kenneth Patrick Donovan turned toward his home, just a mile away. His suburban Northern Virginia neighborhood was quiet, peaceful, softly
illuminated by lights from living room windows spilling onto front yards in
gentle squares. Four inches of snow from yesterday’s storm lay on the ground,
fluffy and clean, like a down comforter shaken and re-laid on the earthy bed.
No one was
out, not even the neighborhood dogs, and Kenny drank in the solitude like a
tonic. He couldn’t get the meeting out of his mind. Amazing. He was learning so
much. Shoving his hand in the pocket of his high school letter jacket, he
fingered a little metal cross. He looked up at the starry January sky, and it
seemed he could see forever.
He didn’t
notice the white Chevy van as it came down the street. He heard a noise. A
small alarm went off in his head. He started to turn around, too late.
They grabbed him
from behind. Kenny’s head snapped back and fear exploded in his belly. He
pulled against their hands, and sucked in a panicked breath as someone shoved a
bandanna in his mouth. He couldn’t breathe! The night disappeared under a knit
hat.
