Raizele shrugged. “Who knows? He might have managed on his own, just like he’s been doing all these years. He might have found some abandoned building or an empty cellar and set up camp there.”
“Or…?”
She sighed. “Or he might be wandering around on Sderot Bar Lev in a daze, shivering and getting numb.”
“That sounds terrible.”
“It does,” she acknowledged. “But do you have any way of helping him? Even if you could find him, how would you get there? There are no buses, and I bet the trains will stop running any minute now.”
