Chapter 552 Craving Cold Air

After scribbling out that guarantee letter, the cops took it for a look-see. Since they were all about owning up to their mistakes, the cops let 'em go home. By the time they stepped outta the police station, it was already pitch black.

Teddy? That kid was in his own world-slept, woke up, bawled, chugged some milk, and knocked out again, totally clueless about the time.

Not only was it dark when they left, but it was also freezing.

Vera touched his hand, and it was like ice.

She was about to ditch her coat to wrap up Theodore, but Patrick beat her to it. He whipped off his black trench coat and bundled up little Theodore. "Babe, you'll freeze," Vera said.

Patrick, all tough-guy, replied, "I'm good." No way was he letting Vera freeze for Theodore; that'd make him look like a total wimp!

Rocking just a thin suit jacket, he hustled Theodore to the car.

Once inside, Patrick cranked the heater to the max. He held Theodore, staring at his little face that looked just like his, snoozing under the black trench coat.

The kid had no clue he'd spent a whole day at the police station and was already on a first-name basis with the cops.

Vera sat quietly next to him, not saying a word.

As the car warmed up, Patrick handed Theodore to Vera and drove home, not waiting for Molly.

Randall, after getting a call from Susan, also bailed without waiting for Molly.
