Lew's detective reflexes warned him of something deeply evasive about this personable academic, which he guessed the boys were aware of, too, though it was their business what to make of it.

"something deeply evasive about this personable academic"
Vanderjuice obviously feels shame for working with Scarsdale Vibe but could Lew be sensing something more than that? Vanderjuice's envy of Tesla's mind and ability has led him to work with Scarsdale Vibe against the good of mankind. If he's willing to do that, what else might he be willing to do? How might he be manipulating the boys and what ends does he have them working towards?
"which he guessed the boys were aware of"
Randolph was certainly aware that Heino wasn't being entirely truthful about his reasons for being in Chicago but it doesn't seem Randolph's suspicion of Heino went much further than that. It was because Heino was acting so out of character that caused Randolph to worry. For now, I'll assume Heino has everybody's best interest in mind but he's stumbled into a dangerous association with Scarsdale too deep from which to extricate himself. I know how history has turned out and the world doesn't have free energy so I'm not holding out hope that Scarsdale Vibe is somehow defeated in his machinations.
