Quintin sighed, feeling the weight of the responsibility. Taking care of a child was proving to be more challenging than he anticipated.

"I told you before buddy, it won't be long." Quintin reached out to hug Joey, but the boy pushed him away.

"I'm going to find Mommy," Joey declared, leaping from the chair. Quintin quickly grabbed his collar, stopping his escape.

"Joey, it's not safe yet." Quintin's voice was firm, his eyes scanning the room as if the walls had ears. “If you go now, you'll only put her in danger. Be patient."
