Sebastian stared at the younger kid out cold on the ground, wondering what to do. It was so strange seeing someone like this in the middle of nowhere. He was dressed differently than most of the others he saw around. Sebastian shook his head and remembered to check him for any injuries instead of gawking like an idiot. Two things he kept in mind before trying to wake him up, he needed to remind himself,

If this is a normal kid, I better hide my gun so I don't scare him, but be ready if he does attack me...

Sebastian bent down and put his gun into its holster, but not all the way just in case he needed to grab it quickly.

"Hey, can you hear me?" He nudged the boy's shoulder.

Danny grumbled, then he opened his eyes partially, then they widened in horror and he sat up in a panic, looking in different ways as if someone was going to ambush him,

"Hey! hey! Calm down, nothing is going to get you,"

He looked at Sebastian, one arm protecting himself, the other trying to push away the detective's hand. After a second Danny calmed down slightly, looked over the older adult, deciding if he was normal or a monster.

"You're okay, kid. You're safe with me. Are you hurt?" Sebastian tried his best to sound reassuring and calm. He used to be able to comfort kids, but not as good now as he used to. For a moment Sebastian was transfixed by his eyes, a vivid bright blue they were, he hadn't seen anyone with that kind of hue in a long time.

"Um..." Danny stuttered.

He took a deep breath and bent his head, one hand rubbing his skull. He still felt the aftershock of the attack from before and the slight pain that was being transmitted to his brain.

Sebastian read this by looking at him, he stood up.

"Just talk to me when you're ready."

Danny still sat on the ground, getting his senses back in order, while Sebastian looked around, checking to make sure nothing was coming their way to attack. For now it was calm and quiet. A few yards away he could see the gate he was working on opening.

"I'm peachy." Danny smirked and made a light chuckle.

Sebastian looked at him. Danny felt somewhat better, one leg crossed on the ground and the other up with one arm on his knee, he held a small grin on his face.

"What's your name, kiddo?" Asked Sebastian.

Danny gave him a suspicious glance.

"You won't shoot me if I don't tell you first, right?" Danny shrugged and gestured one arm to him.

Sebastian saw him looking at his pistol.

"No, I won't. I'll introduce myself, my name is Sebastian Castallanos, I'm a detective of the Krimson Police Department."

"So, you're a cop,huh?"

"Not entirely, I work on cases too, it's a mix." He explained. Sebastian took a quick look behind himself, still checking to see if no one was around.

"Alright, what's your name?" Sebastian looked back him.

Danny stood up, and held out his hand. Sebastian stared at him for a moment, still on guard, but he could tell this was a pretty non-harmful kid.

"Daniel Fenton. But all my friends and family just stick with Danny." He smiled.

"Nice to meet you." Sebastian shook his hand.

Suddenly Danny went stiff as a board, and anxious.

Sebastian caught that. "What's wrong?"

"Um,..."

Danny rolled his eyes nervously and panted a little, which was strange to him.

"You didn't see anything before you came to me, did you?"

The detective blinked, he could tell something was off, and the kid was maybe...hiding something? If he is, I'll play stupid for now and watch him.

"No, I didn't." Sebastian said honestly, then added; "But before I arrived I heard some explosions and saw some strange green and blue lights. Was that something else?"

The teen exhaled. Danny seemed to be less tense after he said that.

"No, it wasn't and I didn't do it. Maybe these guys with the wire stuff did?" Danny suggested.

Okay this is good. The old man didn't see me fighting or witnessed my Ghost Form. I need to keep it that way if I can

"How old are you, and what brings you out here?"

Danny almost forgot to answer him still thinking about if he saw him or not. He made eye contact, and tried to not look suspicious.

"I'm 16, and well, I don't know how to explain this, but I don't know how I got here."

"Where did you get that gun?" Sebastian pointed at his hand.

"This?"

Danny held the weapon and looked it over. Should he tell him, and would there be any consequences if he did?

"I...found it...at Beacon Mental Hospital." He decided to be honest this time.

"You're too young to be in training for the police force that's for sure, what were you doing there?" A little suspicion rose in Sebastian.

Then it raised a question to Danny, He knows about the hospital? Wait, before coming here, Clock showed me the guy in the cloak, and he was in there as well, he's the same guy! and if I answer him I'd just be forced reveal my identity...

Danny was about to tell a lie, when both heard growling.

The same creatures with barbed wire and blood over their bodies were coming closer, hissing like cats, and swinging some of their weapons in their hands.

"Let's get to somewhere were we can't be seen." Sebastian ordered, his instinct as a leader kicking in.

"Lead the way." Danny looked at the enemies behind them, then back at Sebastian and ran behind him. The things giving chase were slow at least, so they went inside a house and shut the door quietly. Sebastian led Danny back to the same bedroom he was in before. The whole time Danny watched him lead, keeping his gun armed and ready. After feeling nothing was after them, they both relaxed a little more.

"Okay, Fenton. I'll cut to the chase; I'm here for an unknown reason like you, and I need your help. There's a gate with a thick and large chain that's keeping it from getting opened. I'm with a doctor. He and I are chasing after another kid older than you and he's a patient of his and we're both worried for his safety."

Danny took note of Sebastian calling him by last name, like superior officers do with soldiers. Danny knew it might be some time before he had Sebastian's trust. He was used to some people he knew referring to him by his last name, Dash, and Mr. Lancer at school. He listened to every word the seasoned detective said. Danny knew he wasn't good at listening, especially in class, but knew if he didn't Sebastian would most likely get pissed in the worst of ways. He'd only met him half an hour ago and had that sense already to not make the mistake of not listening.

"So what do you need me to do?"

If I help him, I can probably go on my own from there and track the guy in the cloak, that'll be my next move, Danny thought.

"Find something that'll cut that chain, it's that simple." Sebastian input.

"Sounds simple enough." Danny made one nod.

"I'll look around, and to help, do you think you can keep those monsters distracted?"

Danny made a smirk, "I'll do my best."

Sebastian noticed the slight cocky smile he made, it made him wonder, he's a kid, he's not scared and acts like he's got nothing to lose, I think anyone would be scared shitless and run away, but not him? Why is that? I'm going to find out even if it kills me.
