Gotta say, that new Theo was awesome. You are the current master of that sort of deep-dive-to-a-cliff-hanger chapter ending, and you make stars sparkle in my head each time you do it. This time more than most.
I just love your particular style where it comes to story escalation and the way you portray boy life. Your dialogue may be a little on the stilted/over-erudite side, but the actions and emotions are usually great fun to read because they read true. They feel right, they fit, and you don't exaggerate a physically perfect protagonist. You make things relatable.
(following is just me riffing on the story; don't take this as if I'm saying you should write this! I'm just playin';)
I have to hope for a solid attack on the next chapter. I know there is a temptation now to left-turn into a related B-story that only obliquely refers to what just happened; it's a good tactic. But here, I'd like to see something like a staccato-style, two-camera chapter. Like, for instance, show the car occupant's next hour step by step in one- or two-paragraph bits, interspersed with two-paragraph bits about the meeting the lady driver and Theo's mom probably had with the other team's coach. Some method that tells the story of the next little while in the boy's lives in a slowed down way... but gets us through it within a chapter or two.
Something that makes you fun to read is your metered escalation of story, how you bring in other characters to push the narrative forward, and the way you increase the number and range of 'victims' as chapters progress. I can see the start of that in Theo, and hope it continues

.
Thanks for a great chapter, man. My vote is for more of Theo!
