And here’s Sarah:

Half of her wanted to scream at Tanner to let her son go; the other half wanted to behave like a calm, rational human being who understood the importance of law and order.

Well, she’d never been rational around Tanner before.

“Put him down this instant.”

He laughed.  “C’mon, Sarah, I outgrew that tone in grade school with Mrs. G.”  He lifted an eyebrow.  “Don’t you think you ought to hear what happened first?”

“No.  First, I think you ought to unhand my son.”  Her voice wobbled.  She took a deep breath.  She had to be strong for Kevin.  They had no one else but each other.  “Let him go, then we’ll talk.”

To her relief, Tanner shrugged and released his hold on the T-shirt.  Kevin’s heels dropped to the floor.

“Mom!”  He rushed across the room to wrap his arms around her waist and bury his face against her.
