From Trash to Titan Chapter 177
The sidewalk went completely silent.Camille looked down at Theo. The phone was still in her hand. The boy was staring up at her with those big brown eyes, the same eyes that had been staring at her from two hundred posters all morning, and he was crying. Not because he was scared or lost or hurt. But because he was afraid she was going to do something bad to the person who had helped him.She closed her eyes for a second.When she opened them, she put the phone back in her pocket.She didn't say a word. Not to Maxwell. Not to Kate. Not to anyone. She just took Theo's hand, turned on her heel, and started walking."Miss Camille, he carried me!" Theo said, tugging at her hand as they walked, still trying to make his case. "When I fell asleep in the car, he carried me all the way upstairs! And he tucked me in! And this morning he made me wash my face but I did it myself because I'm a big boy!"Camille felt something shift in her chest. She looked at Theo's face, at the syrup stain still

There it was. The question that had been sitting on the tip of her tongue since the moment she saw them through the window.And honestly? She had every right to ask for it. What kind of person finds a missing child and doesn't immediately contact the authorities? That was the first thing anyone should do. It was the obvious thing. It was what every public safety guideline, every missing child protocol, every ounce of common sense demanded.Call the police. Report the child. Let the system do its job. And the fact that Maxwell didn't do that was really suspicious. Or maybe it wasn't and Camille was just letting her dislike for him control her.But the truth was that she had been to that same police station herself. She knew the system was broken and slow and infuriating and she could understand why someone would not want to deal with them.'Still, still, it's better for Theo than being looked after by this guy over here.' Camille said to herself, trying to stop herself from thinking Ma

"Oh my God. Theo! Where have you been?" Kate asked, her voice breaking.Theo let go of Camille and ran to hug Kate. Then he responded. "Miss Camille, Miss Kate! I got lost! I followed a cat and I couldn't find the way back and I walked for a really long time and then a car almost hit me but the man stopped and he was really nice and he gave me water and pancakes and his TV came from the ceiling!"It all came out in one breathless, jumbled rush, the way kids talk when they have too many things to say and not enough air to say them.Kate dropped to her knees instantly. Her hands cupped Theo's face, turning it left, then right, checking for bruises, cuts, anything wrong. Her fingers ran through his messy hair. Her eyes scanned every inch of him with the frantic precision of someone who had spent the last twelve hours imagining the worst."Are you hurt?" Her voice cracked on the second word. "Theo, are you hurt anywhere?""No," Theo said, shaking his little head. He turned to look inside

Maxwell had helped Theo wash the syrup off his hands and face, which had turned into a minor production because Theo insisted on doing it himself but couldn't reach the sink properly. Maxwell ended up lifting him up while Theo scrubbed at his own cheeks with the determination of a surgeon.They sat back down. The plates had been cleared by the waitress while they were gone. Only Maxwell's half-finished coffee remained.Maxwell looked at Theo. The kid looked better now. Fed, cleaned up, and significantly more alive than the trembling boy who had stood frozen in front of a McLaren last night."Alright," Maxwell said. "Should we get going? We've got a Miss Kate andCamille to find."Theo nodded eagerly, already reaching for his red ball. "Let's go!"Maxwell stood up and fished his wallet out to leave cash on the table for the tip. Theo slid out of the booth and stood beside him, bouncing lightly on his toes the way kids do when they're full of energy and have nowhere to put it.Maxwell pl

Meanwhile, across the city, a different kind of morning was unfolding.Camille had not slept.Her eyes were a little red and her hair was pulled back in a messy ponytail that she hadn't bothered to fix since four in the morning, and she was wearing the same jeans and sweater she'd thrown on when she first got the call last night. No makeup. No heels. No trace of the polished, sharp-tongued person the world knew. Right now she was just an orphanage owner who had lost a child and was running out of patience with every system that was supposed to help her find him.She carried a thick stack of freshly printed posters under one arm. The top one was already curling at the edges from the morning humidity.The posters all read the same thing: *MISSING**THEO, AGE 5*Below the bold text was a photo of a small boy with big brown eyes and a shy smile. He was wearing a blue t-shirt in the picture, the same one he'd been wearing yesterday when he disappeared. The poster listed the orphanage's c

His enthusiasm almost made Maxwell laugh. The kid had known him for less than twelve hours and was already treating him like a trusted adult. Maxwell didn't take that lightly.They walked to the elevator together. Theo's hand found Maxwell's instinctively, his small fingers wrapping around two of Maxwell's like it was the most natural thing in the world. Maxwell looked down at their hands for a second but didn't pull away.They rode the elevator down in comfortable silence. When the doors opened to the parking garage, Theo's eyes lit up."The fast car!" he said."The fast car," Maxwell confirmed.He opened the passenger door and helped Theo climb in. He buckled him in carefully, adjusting the strap again, and walked around to the driver's side.Maxwell started the engine. He was about to pull out of the parking spot when a small voice spoke up from the passenger seat."Maxwell?""Yeah?""I'm hungry."Maxwell stopped. He turned and looked at Theo. The boy wasn't complaining. He was jus

Maxwell glanced at Natasha. She looked cool with the glasses on, but he was concerned. He had never driven with a pair before, but he could imagine it wasn't as crystal clear as bare eyes and he didn't want to get into an accident. “Uh… aren't those distracting?” He asked. Natasha glanced at him

“He is not my boyfriend," she said, her voice sounding cold and professional. "But he is with me. My name is Natasha and I work for the Sterling family, And right now you are interfering with a direct errand for Victoria Sterling."Victoria Sterling? What did their target, Maxwell, have to do with

Julian wasn't done speaking. He also added, "There's a reason I've spent the last five years in the trenches here. I know the names of our floor managers. I know our debt-to-equity ratio by heart. You still need a map to find the restroom."He said it simply, like stating an obvious fact.Maxwell l
