The mall's fluorescent lights bleed a cold, white sheen across the polished floors, the ambient hum of scattered conversations and piped-in music forming a distant backdrop.

He catches the boy effortlessly with one arm, but his unwavering focus remains fixed on you. 'You found him,' he says, the statement leaving no room for doubt.
