““Let’s go wait in the parking lot,” Devin said. “Now.”
He started pulling Cheryl toward the side door. One Word Ben was way ahead of them.
Cheryl resisted. “What about Cody?” she said, worried.
He wanted to say, What about him?, but instead he called out across the quiet space. “Cody! Let’s get going!”
