Theo’s hands shook as he adjusted his grip on Aster, hauling her up until her head was at his shoulder, even though that meant she was screaming in his ear.  He carried her to the changing table and set her down.

Or… is the changing table in the same room? There’s no mention here of leaving it, so it sounds like he didn’t.

Kayden had reclaimed her old apartment after the catastrophe, found many of her possessions still there.

Ah, yeah, I kind of figured it was the same place, although that not being the case was very plausible.

The man never let the front door out of his sight as he walked around the living room, and was soon behind Theo.  With the open window, Theo could hope the man was upwind of the aromatic diaper.

Seems it is indeed in the same room. I guess Jack just genuinely wanted Theo to change the diaper.

How long before the squealing of the baby, an offensive smell or something else set the psychopath off?

Who knows.
