“Thanks, kid,” his old friend Hank says. “I need you to climb down that ladder now. Wait there. Someone’ll come for you but I need a head start before you tell anyone I’m out.” Orly is confused. He doesn’t understand what’s happening, knows only that he is being shepherded onto the ladder. “Good boy,” Hank says. “You’ll be okay. Climb down there and wait. Your dad’ll come.”
