The music had stopped, and Logan had come over to her. "What was that all about?" he asked.

Teresa turned away from the closed door. "Nothing. I think I embarrassed her. Do you know her?"

He shook his head. "She's a new one. Never seen her before. We are getting a lot of kids here I don't know. I wonder if she's another homeless kid."

Teresa shook her head. "She looked too well dressed to be homeless. But Austin definitely is."

"Austin?"

"Guitar Boy. I got his name from the girl, whose name is Mena."

"Good job. You're a regular detective."

"It's a start," she said. She watched Austin slink away from the group, heading to the kitchen for the second round of doughnuts that had been set out. "You know," she said, "it's hard to believe there's a homeless camp in a place like Pajaro Bay."

"Not in town, no. But down the coast, there's an abandoned railroad line that runs near the ocean. Ever since I was a kid they talked about it. One of those places you weren't supposed to go, because monsters would get you. That kind of thing. I'm wondering if I should check it out. See how many people are there, and if we need to do some kind of outreach to them. People on the street are in a world of hurt."

"A world of danger," she said.

"Yeah." He frowned. "It's a bit overwhelming sometimes, you know? There's so much to do, and I'm not sure where to start."

"I think you're making a good start. You're bringing them in."

"Maybe it's my fabulous musical ability. Or the free food."

She laughed. "Probably the food. I don't really think it was your guitar playing."

"Yeah." He laughed, too. "That was pretty awful."

"But it got Austin into the group. Good move."

"You, too. I heard your student Jenny talking with her mom about how she was going to read The Maze Runner with you."

"Wow. I'm surprised. I thought she was ignoring me. I got her to talk about her favorite movie, and then told her about the book version and what she was missing."

"Apparently it sunk in. Getting them talking about movies and leading them to related books is a good idea." His cell phone rang and he glanced at it. "Elevator installer," he said, and gave her a quick thumbs up while walking away. "I think we'll make a good team," he said in parting.

"Yeah," she said softly to his retreating back. "I think we'd make a good team."
