"Huh?" Penny furrowed her brows, watching Jonathan enter a gift shop a few blocks from them. "What is he doing in there? Buying what? Drugs? Organs?"

Dean glanced at her through the rearview mirror. "Seriously?"

"What? Don't tell me he's in a gift shop for something innocent?"

"Don't judge," Atlas remarked, keeping watch on the establishment. "Though we should remember that place in case it's a hideout for criminals."

"He's my husband's half-brother, which makes me his in-law, and your aunt," Penny spat back. "Of course, I am interested."
