Finally, he effortlessly lifted the kid into an easier, standing position, and held him tight. After months of running around in the jungle with rucksacks that easily weighed a hundred pounds easy; add a lightweight kid, and it was laughably easy.

Thank God I was chasing a burrito. You up for it?”
