"Check out that fancy car."

Teddy kept his eyes glued to the boy, their gazes locking for a moment, tension flickering between them. Teddy kept the conversation going, as if trying to buy some time.

Over by the curb, Andre had already gathered everyone into their cars.

Anya spotted Teddy from a distance. She stuck her head out the window. “Chad, isn't that the kid I accidentally bumped into earlier? What's Uncle Teddy up to?"

Leo glanced over. "I'll go see what's up."

He drove over and rolled down the window, but just then Teddy waved the boy away.
