As he spoke, Dustin leaned forward, starting to get up, and lowered his voice. “Collin, let's see who the kid's
calling. Maybe we'll finally figure out who his mom is. | saw he’s got a smartwatch—it probably makes calls.”
Collin stayed cool, calmly placing a hand on Dustin's knee, nudging him to sit back down.
Dustin looked confused. “Collin, what's the deal?”
Collin spoke gently. “If he finds out we're eavesdropping, he’s gonna be pissed.”
“Collin, since when do we care if a kid gets mad? He's just—" Dustin started, clearly not getting it.
But before he could finish, Collin cut in, his voice calm but serious. “He might actually be my kid.”
Dustin stopped cold, his eyes widening just a little in shock. Collin looked him straight in the eye and continued
after a short pause. “If he’s mine, | don’t want him to hatethe first twe meet. I've already missed the
beginning of his life.”
He let out a long breath, his fingers laced and tightening a little. “Even if he’s not mine, we can’t just ignore what
he said and spy on him. That's messed up.”

He opened his mouth again, still not ready to let it go. “Then how are we supposed to find out who he is? The
kid's sharp as hell—he won't say a word, and we've got nothing to go on.”

push. I'll wait. He'll tellwhen he’s ready.”

When Zander locked the bathroom door, he made sure there was no sound coming from outside. He then tapped
on his watch a couple of times.
Soon, Zenia’s hushed voice cthrough the watch. “You aren't back yet, Zander?”
Whispering so he couldn’t be heard, Zander replied, “The bad man is a tough nut to crack. | need more time.”
“But if you're not back soon, Mommy will know you're gone,” Zenia said nervously.
“If Mommy asks, just tell her | went to play with Jimmie.”
“Who's Jimmie?” Zenia asked curiously.
Zander lied without hesitation. “It’s a friend | made here in Grester. Just tell Mommy that. Don’t change the
story!”
Zenia, however, was quite hesitant. “We've only been in Grester for a few days, and we've mostly been at the
hotel. How could you have made a new friend? Mommy won't believe that.”
