Andrew Shaw wasn't the type to sit still. Knowing his life was safe for the time being, he finally relaxed and started paying attention to other things.
He looked at Stella Sterling and asked curiously, "So, what did you ask that kid?"
He had no idea what they talked about, but the boy looked thrilled as he left.
He didn't even come back to claim the half-a-bun Andrew had promised him.
'That's a little strange!'
'Don't tell me Stella Sterling promised him something... Gave him some kind of reward.'
He was very curious. 'What could Stella possibly need him for?'
Stella Sterling glanced over at him, her tone chilly. "Don't forget, he's older than you. It's not very polite to call him a 'little guy.'"
It was one thing for Andrew Shaw, in his five-year-old body, to be calling a boy in his teens a "little guy." The whole picture was just bizarre.
