“Is that creep Gallo in jail?”
“Yes,” Frank answered.
“He was a janitor at the museum, but he was working for someone
who was a ‘Baby Broker.’”
“Baby Broker?” Chet wrinkled his nose.
“What’s that?”

Joe
bit his lip. He had dreamed
of going to Disney World for years. It

would be really great Dad,” Joe said with a smile.
“But there’s someplace else I’d rather go.”
Fenton
raised his eyebrows in surprise. “Really?”

Sir,” the blue-eyed boy answered. “If

Fenton
exchanged a bewildered look with his wife, Laura.
