Once they entered the store, Derek swore that Spencer's eyes literally grew as big as saucers. He had to remind himself that the small boy had never been in a store like this, so it wasn't surprising when Spencer just stood in the same spot. Only when Derek began to look at the games did Spencer's inner child come out. He ran to the section holding Nintendo DS games. After a few minutes, Derek felt a tugging on his left pant leg.

"Hm? Find something Spence?"Derek asked, looking down at the child holding a box containing a Nintendo 3DS.

"Please, Derek, please?"Spencer plead, clutching the game device to his chest.

"You really, really want it?"Derek asked, somehow keeping his stern expression when Spencer nodded quickly.

"OK. Now, let's pick you out some games."The adult said, smiling at the look of pure glee on the child's face.

"Thank you!"Spencer said, hugging the adult before running back to the assortment of games.

Derek chuckled as he followed the excited boy over to the desired area. He helped him pick out some learning games(and was amazed by how many there was) and he got him a Pokemon Explorers of Sky and a Nintendogs game because Spencer gave him the best puppy dog look.

Once at the register though, Spencer's attitude did a complete 180. He put the games and box on the counter, looked up at the woman behind the register, and went completely pale. He gripped Derek's hand and hid behind the older man, trembling. It was like a trance almost because he didn't answer Derek at all, just kept trembling and his eyes staring off in the distance.

Derek soon realized what was going on. He quickly paid for the items and took Spencer back to the car. He strapped the boy in and sat there.

The two sat in silence for a very long time, neither doing anything until Spencer stopped shaking. But, that didn't mean that he wasn't scared. He knew that the woman in the store wouldn't hurt him, the statistics were incredibly low that that would happen, but the second he saw her, it was like he was back with The Monster. And it was like Derek wasn't there, but it wasn't Dark.

"Spencer-"

"I'm sorry! I-I didn't mean to! P-P-Please don't take it away!"Spencer interrupted, clutching the GameStop bag to his chest.

"Spencer, you gotta understand that right now, if you do something by accident or didn't mean to do it, I'm not going to punish you. You are just beginning to really experience the world. Of course you are going to get scared ever once in a while. It's natural. So, stop worrying about it."

"Promise?"The child said, holding out his little finger.

"Promise."Derek said, wrapping his little finger around the Spencer's.

"You okay now?"Derek asked, seeing the boy nod determinedly. "Okay. Now how about we get started on those games?"He asked, already opening the Nintendo 3DS box.

Smiling at the boy's excited "Yeah!", the older man helped Spencer customize the game device. After choosing a game that would help with reading and grammar, Derek began to drive. After an hour into the drive, Derek looked over to see Spencer was asleep, still holding the DS, the battery light glowing red. At the next stop, he plugged the device into the car charger, knowing the child would be devastated if the device's battery died.

After he did that, his phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, he saw it was the woman that terrified him more then Penelope Garcia.

"Hey Mama."
