They usually found him in the library sitting at a window seat looking at something on the laptop he'd bought a few weeks back. Apparently he had a job, but no one knew where, and no one knew how. Since he never spoke. The counselors that were spread around Open Arms often looked upon him as a challenge. Since he'd come here he was still nameless.
" I bet I can get through to him." Karen said.
"No way you're a new person here, and we are all experienced. And even still we cant get a name out of the kid." Gerdy said.
" I bet you ten bucks I can get his name." Karen said with a wink. Gerdy gave her a "you're on" gesture and so gentle Karen went over to sit next to him.
Danny immediately shut the computer and looked at her. She smiled letting her hazel green eyes meet his tortured blue ones. But Karen never let her smile melt despite the horrid look in his otherwise beautiful eyes.
"So what are you up to kid?" She asked.
Danny was taken by surprise, no one talked to him cause he was nameless. And has far as everyone knew mute. " I know you can talk kid, I can tell. So what's happening kid." Karen continued, making sure to say kid, knowing that he would soon be sick of that and tell her his real name.
" Why do you keep calling me kid?" He demanded.
"Well that's your name isn't it? Or do you want to tell me your real name." She asked innocently.
" Fine my name is Danny. OK? Now would you please leave me alone?" He said eyeing her.
Karen shrugged and left him alone. She returned to the other counselors with a big grin on her face. " Hey Gerdy was my ten?"
" No way. You did it?"
"Yup his name is Danny, and I think I gonna like this kid." She said giving a thoughtful stare in his direction
