Before the man could say anything, the boy implored, "Please don't make me get out of the car… Some baddies abandoned me here; I'll surely die in this place if you chase me away!"
Die here?
He pressed his lips into a hard line as he looked at their surroundings once more.

"Aren't you worried that I'm a bad guy?" he asked.
Baby Chu inclined his head with puzzlement. "Bad guy?"
"Aren't you afraid that I'll sell you off?"
