10 Chapter 2 11:19 Joshua and Vivian imploded . I didn't need to see it to know it was happening . One trying to save his new life , the other trying to save her own skin . They turned on each other , just like in my drawing . Vivian made the first move . She must have realized Joshua was a lost cause . She quietly cleared out the condo they shared , taking everything of value . She also drained the last of the money from their joint accou- nt . She tried to run . But she didn't get far . Mr. Peterson had anticipated it . He'd already sent an anonymous tip to the authorities , along with all the evidence he'd gathered - including proof that Joshua was a deserter . A net had been quietly cast . Vivian was stopped at the airport . She was still dressed in designer clothes , her makeup perfect . But her face was ashen , her eyes wide with terror , like a frightened , pretty bird caught in a trap . Joshua was arrested , too , picked up while he was sitting in that black car . He seemed to have seen it comi- ng . He didn't resist . But before they put him in the police car , he looked up , straight at my window . I was standing right there , behind the curtain , watching .. His expression was a mix of everything . Anger , regret , resentment . But not love . There had never been any love . I watched the police car drive away until it vanished around the corner . It was all over . No. Not quite . I went back to my living room , to my dollhouse . I took out the boy doll , and the girl doll . The marker on their faces was starting to fade . I found an empty shoebox and placed them inside , face to face . Then , I closed the lid . I took a roll of packing tape and wrapped it around and around the box , sealing it shut . Tighter and tighter , until not a single crack of light could get in . " Bad kids , " I whispered to the box , " have to be locked away ! " Forever . "
