Chapter Four

Cam and Eric raced down the steps. Just as they reached the lobby, the theater manager started down the steps.

"Oh, there you are," the woman behind the counter said to Cam and Eric. "Take these sodas before they spill."

Cam's mother and Eric turned. Cam's father didn't.

"They're both leaving the theater. I'm going to see what's happening," Cam said.
