Santa's Sleigh A True Christmas Tradition
A week before Christmas and the ground isn't even covered with the white stuff as forecasters predicted.
A poor 15 year old male boy was wandering around in the area of the 12th precinct some what late at night.
His name on the streets goes by as Jason. No one knew who or where he's from at this time. Some of the people strolling along at night. Were beginning to wonder just who this kid is supposed to be having to be out this late at night.
When ever someone stopped him along his way. Jason started to speak about seeing Santa's Sleigh. And anyone listening would be thinking it was part of his mind making up stories. In order to have them feeling sorry for the boy. Or he was strung out on some type of drugs.
His clothes were some what tater, his hair a mess. As with his blue khaki's dirty. As if he's not seen a bath or shower in quite some time.
Meanwhile at the 12th precinct.
This one night. Esposito and Kevin Ryan having just arrived back from working in the field. They were able to closed a case that evening with great thanks from Captain Beckett. After two weeks of frustration in order to finally get a confession to break the case.
With the both detectives finally getting the chance to relax. Ryan's bull-pen phone started to ring. Taking in a quite breath after just sitting down. He's goes to pick up his phone quickly in order to answer it like always.
In a soft tone of voice. "Ryan, how can I help you?" He exclaimed with his response. Taking a brief moment to be listening to the caller. He tells who ever is on the line. Someone will be coming to canvass the area for this young boy your talking about. Hanging up the phone back into place.
Ryan calls over to Javier Esposito just coming out of the computer tech room checking on something. "Javi, come on. Just received a call from someone being really concerned about a young boy. I know, it's not normal routine for us. I think. Its' best we check this out, just in case it turns out to be something else entirely." Saying with some clarification towards his partner.
"Sure." He says with going to take his jacket and placing it back on after just arriving moments ago. He was beginning to think, he was some what of a yo-yo with all of the running around the two of them have been doing lately.
Checking around for a brief moment on whether or not the night commander, Captain Anderson was around. And he wasn't having to be tied up in a conference else where in the building.
Walking outside after coming out of the elevator. Weather was some what in the low thirties. While the wind was starting to be picking up. Giving a slight hint some type of storm will be arriving into the area some time soon.
It was unfathomable to think its going to rain instead of having snow. Even though it's not been cold enough for it to actually happen.
Otherwise inside of Ryan's vehicle. Both of the detectives were some what quiet not knowing what to expect with the phone call.
They only had to travel a few blocks to reach the site of the young boy. He was sitting cross legged in the corner of an alley way of one of the apartment buildings. His eyes were closed as if he was sleeping.
But he wasn't. When Kevin Ryan had walked slowly over to the boy and finding that he was out cold and barely breathing. It was at this particular moment. Javi Esposito had to call for help and 911.
They weren't able to do anything further. Accept place a grey blanket from the trunk of their tan vehicle. In order to keep the young boy warm until the ambulance arrives.
Both of the detectives were shaking their heads in disbelief. Otherwise a full report had to be made to the watch commander, and Captain Kate Beckett for in the morning.
