Linus flinched back as Zoe leaned down to pick him up, but didn't resist. This was a good way to get out of going to Juvy, after all. But why did this girl want to abduct a random kid?
As soon as they were out of sight of the guard, he shot an icy glare up at the dark haired young woman. " 'Ey, what do you want from me?" He snapped at her, his Scottish brogue extremely evident. "Think you can just pick me up and walk away with me, do you?" He was rather suspicious of this girl, to say the least. Anyone who would just pick up a strange child and walk away with him was not to be trusted. She was probably going to sell him to a crime syndicate or something. At least that would be easier to escape from than Juvy, he thought.
Thinking over his situation for a moment, he stopped speaking to the strange woman, simply allowing himself to be carried off and nodding briskly when she demanded that he hand over his stolen scalpels to her friend whenever they came across him. The girl had by now started talking to two people, and Linus did nothing, not really sure what to do. He was still terribly confused by the situation, which wasn't helped by the fact that he hadn't had the chance to pilfer cigarettes from the cornerstore and was getting anxious and jittery. He kept his head down, nervously biting his nails. This was not a good situation. On top of being a nicotine addict, he also had pretty bad epilepsy, and withdrawal tended to trigger seizures. Seeing as he was currently being kidnapped by strangers, that seemed like a disaster waiting to happen.
However, being the prideful kid he was, he didn't say anything to the girl who'd picked him up and walked away with him. It probably would have been a good idea to mention his numerous medical conditions, but he'd made it this far without ever having proper treatment for any of them. He didn't think that was something she needed to know.
