Had he made a mistake by suspecting the man?

Still, he felt that there was something amiss about the man.

“I always take him with me when I travel.”

He retrieved his phone, scrolling eagerly through photos that revealed Chocolate’s adventures in different places.

A wave of disappointment washed over Holden.
