'Look, everything is perfectly fine here!'

Elizabeth slides forward a step, her entire body tensing when the man refuses to let the child go to Badou. But she doesn't make good on her threat, she's too afraid of hitting the boy by accident. Is this the type of human garbage that would use a child as a shield? She has no idea yet.

'Easy--' he says, holding out a hand, sensing Elizabeth's anger. 'Look, I can explain. His parents... they pay me to look after him. Okay?' He says this like he's doing somebody a really nice favor. 'They don't have time for him, I do. Right buddy?' He shakes Frank's shoulder, but the boy doesn't nod or smile or do anything to indicate that he's remotely okay with this arrangement.

"You're a liar--" Elizabeth grinds out between her teeth. "You wouldn't have security outside if he wasn't a hostage."
