Read the excerpt from “Ibrahim.”

Read the excerpt from “Ibrahim.”
As he ate and drank, I returned to the Humvee. Lieutenant Ramirez stood outside it.
“I know what you’re gonna say, Bolger. I can’t authorize it.”
“So we’ll leave him?” I asked. “What’ll happen then, sir?”
“There could be hundreds of kids in his situation.”
“We didn’t find them,” I said. “We found him.”
He sighed; I continued: “If we leave him, he could get hit by a car. He could starve. Striped hyena live out here. We’re here to help these people, right, sir?”
Again, Lieutenant Ramirez was a good man. Minutes later, we were bumping along in the Humvee, Ibrahim seated on my lap.
