Starvos
CSI is the nickname Fin gives to one of the cops who shows up at his door (Constable Lund’s partner), because of the cop’s tough-guy demeanor. CSI initially promises news of the boys’ missing father, but when he returns, he tries to strongarm the boys out of their food with a phony warrant. Fin recognizes the ploy and successfully stands up to him—aided by Max, who gets the jump on CSI with a hatchet.

But something had changed in me. Maybe it was the way my whole world had closed down, had become simpler. I was sharper somehow. Instincts were kicking in and I was running with them.
