"Yo, why you bouncin' so fast?" a voice called out.

Quinn whipped around, recognizing that voice. There was Alexander, hobbling out with a cane.

Walter had this smile, but his eyes were cold. "Well, if it ain't Mr. Kennedy. Been a minute. What happened to you?" he asked, eyeing Alexander's bum leg.

Alexander shrugged. "Pretty embarrassing, really. First time here, got lost, and a dog bit me."

Then he added, "Seems like you know this place well, Mr. Smith. Maybe you can look out for me."

Walter caught the dig and grinned wider. "Tough break. If you know it's dangerous, better head back. Next time, it might not just be your leg," he said, a hint of threat in his voice. Alexander shot back, "Can't do that. My wife's still here. Can't leave her with all these dogs around, right? What if they bite her?"

Quinn was just about done with their bickering.
