The stranger stops abruptly and looks behind Mina. A bespectacled young man, barely out of his teens, sticks his head out from behind a pine tree. He squints at Mina, then at the stranger and back to Mina. He yells, "Hey, do either of you know where I can find the library?"
Mina stares at the boy, speechless. Who wants to find a library at this time of the night? What is he, nuts?
The stranger nods to Mina as if reading her thoughts. He grips her arm and says to the boy, "Shouldn't you be at home doing your homework or some other nerdy activity?"
Mina shudders at the sarcasm in his voice. The boy replies, "You're right. My name is Thomas but you can call me Tommy." He holds out his hand to the stranger.
