Chapter 1.
"Alex, after the unfortunate demise of Ms Starbright, you have to be placed with another caregiver. It has been decided that your new guardian will be Mr James Romero."
Alex didn't respond, just stared at Blunt until he continued.
"You know him as Wolf." Blunt told him, trying to get a reaction. There was none.
The staring contest continued as Blunt searched Alex's face for a reaction. Eventually he gave up, turned to the door and called.
"Mr Romero, you may come in now."
Wolf entered the room and stood to attention at Blunt's desk.
"Mr Romero, you may take Alex home now."
Wolf looked around the room only to find Alex standing beside him.
Wolf analysed what Alex looked like.
Blank expression
Black skinny jeans, a black band t-shirt that he didn't recognise, and heaps of bracelets
Blond hair with dyed purple tips.
Five piercings, two in each ear and one on his eyebrow.
"You are excused." Blunt's voice was harder than before, trying to reinforce the point that they should leave.
"Right, come on Cub."
As they left, Ms Jones turned towards Blunt.
"I hope we've made the right decision, giving him to Mr Romero."
