John was guarding the door at the moment, making it difficult for the children to try and sneak out.

They looked at each other in exasperation. Nina asked Juan for ideas.

The latter took some time to think. “Why don’t we try baiting him away?”

“How?”

“You and Maya do something to get him to leave while Kyle and I sneak away to find Mommy.”

Maya and Nina looked at each other. “Why can’t you and Kyle be the ones to do that while Maya and I go looking for Mommy?” Nina pouted.
