December 24th, Star City
It was late afternoon; snow was falling to the earth softly. Dressed semi-warmly, Icicle Jr. aka Cameron Mahkent was listening to music, resting on a bus bench; at the end of the bench was an old woman with four colorfully wrapped presents in her arms. Just then, the bus came, stopped, and the woman got on, slightly juggling her gifts.
Cameron idly watched the bus leave, then turned back to stare at the bakery across the street when he noticed something. Cameron sat up in alarm, a blue wrapped gift. Cameron turned to the bus, gone, but he knew where it was going. Going against everything he knew, he picked up the box, tucked it under his arm, and ran into the alley.
Knowing the system well, Cameron was able to run without faltering, he was forced to pause, however, when his path was blocked by a cop car. Quickly changing route, he continued, of course, he looked suspicious so the popo followed. Jumping over a sideways-turned trash can, Cameron saw the opening. Running out, he froze, looking around and panting, then he saw the bus; the woman got off, looking quite sad and worried.
Cameron smiled, huffing, he trotted over. "Miss! You left your gift," he said, holding it out to her.
The old woman smiled. "Oh thank you, this is for my grandson," she said as she took it.
Cameron blushed. "No problem," he replied.
"Merry Christmas," the woman said and kissed his cheek before going back on the bus.
Cameron watched as the bus left when he heard the siren; he went rigid and grimaced, turning around. The officer gestured for him to come, not wanting to get in trouble, Cameron complied. The officer smiled.
"Good work kid," he said.
Cameron went blank but then he smiled too. "No problem," he replied again.
"Donut?" officer asked.
Cameron took one. "Thanks," he said, taking a bite.
"Merry Christmas kid," the cop replied and drove away.
Cameron smiled as he nibbled on the sweet treat. Cameron felt something warm in his chest, it was an unwanted feeling at first but then he welcomed it. He couldn't help but enjoy it.
Honesty,
PASS IT ON.
