This is my first attempt to write a fanfic, so I apologize if it's not very good or any OCC-ness. Plus, I haven't really thought through this story very well yet, so I might get stuck sooner or later

"Hello?" The child opened the door with a frightened gaze. The sight of the teenager caused him to soften a little, but his voice still remained tense.
"What's wrong?" asked the visitor, squatting down so their eyes are on the same level.
"Hi," the boy managed to smile a bit as pointed over his shoulder, "who's that behind you?"
The youngster turned around to examine the man behind him. It was a man he had never seen before. He slowly stood up and walked up to the man. "Is there anything I could help you with? I volunteer here at the orphanage every weekend, so if you have any questions, you could ask me."
The man stared at him for a few moments. The young man felt his stomach twist and turn as he waited for a reply. The stranger, a man in his late thirties seemed to be examining every detail of the person standing in front of him. As a full three minutes passed, the teenager's eyes began to wander. He did not notice the man eying the boy in the background. Suddenly, he felt himself being knocked down and saw the mysterious figure charging towards the innocent child. When the lad was still recovering from the fall, the man had already carried the seven-year-old over his shoulders and stormed into the orphanage. He could hear the tromping of the man as he scrambles up the stairs, along with the yelping and crying of the youth. He ran after him, determined to catch this criminal.
************
When the authorities finally arrived, they found the teenager clutching the child to his chest on the rooftop. On the ground twenty-feet below, lies the body of the man with his head lying in a pool of blood.
