Silence had fallen upon the ward. Elliot was holding a sleeping baby in his arms. He just couldn’t take his eyes off her. She’s my second child.

It was four in the morning, so the sky was dark. Six black cars were traveling through the street. A man in the backseat of one car was resting his eyes.
