The front door clicks shut behind Leo and A Parent. The street goes quiet again, dim porchlight pooling on the pavement between Buster and Mara.
Mara keeps her hands in her pockets, studies the ground, then looks up at Buster like she has made a hard decision.
Mara
I know one more thing. The hunters did not just want you contained, Buster. They wanted you moved.
Mara
There is a pickup point west of here, an old service lot with a white van and a second team waiting. If anyone comes back for Leo, it starts there.
She pulls one hand from her pocket, drops a folded note into Buster's palm, and steps backward toward the sidewalk.
Mara
I am done running with them. If I stay, I make this mess worse. If you want the rest, find me later... and come alone.
Mara turns and walks off into the dark, her figure shrinking beneath the streetlights as the quiet neighborhood swallows her up.
