CHAPTER 7: Why does Kaloko stay?

Beah and Kaloko venture into Kamator every three days to see if anyone has returned to the village; all they see is emptiness and the vulture-picked corpse of the imam. Beah tires of living in fear and decides to head further away to find someplace safe from the RUF. Kaloko is too frightened to leave with him, so Beah sets out on his own.
