Author's Note ~ It is highly recommended that you first read my story The
Visitor to grasp this, but if not I'll try to explain it further. You
really need to read the story though because I have characters that I have
added that were mentioned in the previous story.
Prologue ~ This takes place right after Nosedive and WildWing, and Canard move into their apartment, and receive jobs working as police officers in the city. Nosedive is still mute at the time, and WildWing, and Canard are still as care free, and learning what its like to live together with the odd bunch.
Canard walked in with two other officers, as the set up some work on the table. Nosedive came into the room, but cringed at the sight of the workers.
"Hey Nosedive", said Canard, immediately loosening up the twelve year old, "These are some guys from work, they're here to do well work. WildWing should be back in a little bit with some snacks care to join us them?"
Nosedive nodded.
"Good. Come here maybe you'll get this stuff."
"Canard", said one of the officers, "Don't apply pressure!"
"I'm not", cried the eighteen-year-old in defense.
The other two rolled their eyes. Nosedive walked over to Canard and sat on his lap.
"So whose this", asked the second officer.
"This is WildWing's kid brother, Nosedive. He lives with us."
The officers didn't know why the child was not talking, nor did they know that WildWing and Canard were caring and tending to a child, however they decided it was best to not get into the topic.
"Oh nice", said one of the officers, than towards Nosedive, "Are these two annoying?"
Nosedive nodded, the officials laughed.
"Ha ha very funny", said Canard, "Aren't you the comedian. Well now I'm going to tickle you!"
And Canard tickled Nosedive so hard, that Nosedive was crying out of laughter.
"Go easy with him", said a woman who entered the room, "You hear me Thunderbeak, easy!"
She was about Canard and WildWing's age. She was pretty, definitely another officer, and stood up for Nosedive so he liked her.
"Yes ma'am", mocked Canard.
"Whatever", cried the girl.
Then WildWing walked in, along with Mr. Ricksay.
"Boys, (Canard and WildWing) I'm going to give it to you straight", said Mr. Ricksay, "We have tried to not give you this assignment since of your family matters, but it's your turn. You need to be traveling into the country get some information on this lecture and then report back, I'm so sorry but you both must attend. The rest of you may leave after Tracy gives you your new assignments and paychecks."
Soon the men left, as did Tracy and WildWing and Canard had blank expressions on their faces.
"But sir", pleaded WildWing, "What about my brother?"
"Can we bring him", asked Canard.
"Unfortunately no", replied Mr. Ricksay.
"Well I just can't leave him for an entire week", exclaimed WildWing.
"What about Mrs. Potter", asked Canard.
"NO", cried WildWing.
"What about me", asked Mr. Ricksay.
All three boys looked at him.
"What", asked WildWing.
"Well you don't have a babysitter, and you can't leave him alone. So why not me, since I'm the reason you have to go anyway. I have two boys of my own, one Nosedive's age actually. And a good wife, and it'll only be for a week."
"Wing", said Canard, "We don't have many options left here."
"Fine", said WildWing, "Mr. Ricksay I once again thank you."
Nosedive shook his head no; his eyes welled up with tears.
"I'm going to be leaving you together", said Mr. Ricksay, "I'll see you tomorrow Nosedive, Flashblade you remember where I live right?"
"Yes sir, and thank you once again."
Mr. Ricksay nodded his hat and left.
"Nosedive don't look at me like that", said WildWing kneeling down to his brother's height, "It'll be okay."
Nosedive shook his head no.
"Trust me it'll be okay."
Nosedive wiped his tears but was still upset.
"Nosedive", said Canard aching for the child. He had never been away from WildWing since the incident. He hadn't trusted adults either. "Everything will be fine. WildWing can call each night, right Wing?"
"Yeah that's right", cried WildWing putting both his hands on his brother's shoulders, "I can call, and I will call, every night! I promise! And if something happens and you need me I'll be right there. I promise."
Nosedive held out his pinky.
"Pinky promise", said WildWing.
