-Flashback-
Delia Cruger cried on her knees on the front porch as the car of her ex-husband, Alexander Cruger, drove away in a black car with another woman inside of it.
Her son, a 6-year-old Anubis Cruger, ran up to her and helped her on the porch chair.
"Mama," Cruger said starting to cry too. "What's wong? Whare is Daddy gowing?"
Delia smiled down sadly at her son and picked him up.
"Daddy's going away, honey." She said quietly.
Anubis looked saddened by this.
"Again?" He said. "Is he gowing on anothew busyness twip?"
Delia wanted to tell Doggie that his father never wanted to be in their family, but that would break the little one's heart. It would be better to just say,
"Yes Doggie, but this time he's not coming back."
Anubis, nicknamed Doggie, had tears forming in his eyes now.
"B-But he wanted me to tell you that he loved you and hoped to see you again." Delia said hugging him tight.
The two sobbed for a little while until Doggie decided to jump off of his mother.
"Don't wowwy, Mama." Doggie said. "I can be Daddy fwom now on! I'll take cawe of you, Mama!"
Delia laughed as Doggie puffed out his chest and started talking in a deep voice. Doggie soon laughed too and ran to his mother to hug her.
"Oh Doggie, you will always be my favorite little man." Delia said.
-End Flashback-
Cruger chuckled a little as he set the picture of his mother back on his deck, next to the picture of Asiniya. He remembered that day all to well. His father left their family to be with his little slut. He promised that he would take care of his mother after that.
That was exactly what he did. He helped sort taxes, he learned to cook so that his mother didn't have to, he even got a job when he was eleven years old. He didn't play with his friends anymore because he with busy and he worked harder than others kids in school doing so.
It never bothered him when he was younger, but as he got older, Cruger started to feel that something was missing. He always had a void in his heart that he told no one about. Mainly because he never knew what would feel that void.
Well, even though he still kind of had the void, he ignored it so it wouldn't get in the way of his duties as a ranger and the commander of the Earth root of S.P.D.
He shook the memories from his mind and got up from his chair to leave. He failed to notice the small figure in the corner of the room, giggling a childish giggle.
"Don't Wowwy, Doggie!" He said. "You'll fell bettew soon!"
