Collin grinned, calm and confident. "Of course. Every single one of them knows what they're doing." "Wow!" Zander's face lit up with pure admiration. "Sir, you're awesome!" Dustin snorted and teased, "Took you long enough to realize. Weren't you the one talking about challenging him earlier?" Zander froze like he had been caught, then puffed out his chest and tightened his little fists. "I'm still small right now. But when I grow up, I'll have my own crew. Then I'll cback and challenge him for real!" Collin reached over and softly ruffled Zander's hair. "But why do you even want to challenge me, huh?" Zander went completely quiet, his lips sealed shut like he was guarding a secret.

His little eyes darted left and right. "She doesn't even know I cto challenge you. I didn't say anything." Collin nodded like he understood. "Alright then. Since you're putting the challenge on hold, I'll take you hafter breakfast." Zander turned his head with a tic huff. "Nope! I'm staying right here. From now on, I'm watching you closely!" "What?" Collin tilted his head, confused.
Zander narrowed his eyes with determination. "I'm gonna figure out your weak spot. That way, when I'm older, I'll definitely beat you!" Collin laughed, clearly amused. Dustin sighed and shook his head. "You little troublemaker. Why's your brain always stuck on fighting?" "I'm not a troublemaker!" Zander shot back, clearly offended.
Collin's eyes twitched with interest. He asked smoothly, "Oh? Then what is your name?" Zander's face changed fast. "Not telling you!" he said, then his eyes darted around like he just remembered something. "Wait! I gotta pee. Where's the bathroom?" Collin pointed down the hallway. "You okay to go by yourself, or need a hand?" he asked kindly.

Halfway to the bathroom, he spun around and warned like a little general, "Don't follow me! I need privacy, got it?" Without saying another word, he rushed into the bathroom, slammed the door shut, and locked it tight.

While talking, Dustin leaned forward, starting to get up, and lowered his voice. "Collin, let's see who the kid's calling. Maybe we'll finally figure out who his mom is. I saw he's got a smartwatch-it probably makes calls." Collin stayed cool, and calmly placed a hand on Dustin's knee, nudging him to sit back down. Dustin looked confused. "Collin, what's the deal?" Collin spoke gently. "If he finds out we're eavesdropping, he's gonna be pissed." "Collin, since when do we care if a kid gets mad? He's just-” Dustin started, clearly not getting it.
But before he could finish, Collin cut in, his voice calm and serious. "He might actually be my kid."
Dustin stopped cold, his eyes widening just a little in shock. Collin looked him straight in the eye and went on after a short pause. "If he's mine... I don't want him to hatethe first twe meet. I've already missed the beginning of his life." He let out a long breath, fingers laced and tightening a little. "Even if he's not mine, we can't just ignore what he said and spy on him. That's messed up." Dustin hadn't expected Collin to think that deep, that fast.
He opened his mouth again, still not ready to let it go. "Then how are we supposed to find out who he is? The kid's sharp as hell-he won't say a word, and we've got nothing to go on." Collin's face softened out of nowhere as he thought about how much Zander looked like him. "There's no need to push. I'll wait. He'll tellwhen he's ready."
