Sly helplessly looked out the window at the kids walking along with their parents. He could hardly believe that he had been one of them just a few hours ago. The thought that his family line was going to die out was immense. Lost in his thoughts he barley heard the cops.

"Here we are little Sly." said policeman # 1 "The happy camper's orphanage.

"This is where little children like you do a lot of charity work for kids with no parents." Explained policeman # 2

Sly hated the name, as he was anything but a happy camper. Also just throw the kids they were helping in the orphanage too. It was decided by him to misbehave. Hopefully the result would be to get thrown out of the orphanage. Then he could go find his dad's gang.

"Maybe you'll make some new friends." suggested policeman # 1.

At this point Sly didn't know whether or not he wanted any. Seeing the children playing was sickening. Why weren't they mourning the death of their family. He swore to continue his family line no matter what.

"Sly these are my two girls. " said policeman # 1 "Carmen Fox who is 15, and Carmelita Fox who is 11. They will take you to the orphanage."

"Hey raccoon scum I recognize you" said Carmen "You're Slytantuman's son. Dad arrest this thief!"

"Car we can't arrest him. He's only 8 and never stole anything." her dad pointed out.

"I hope you never do or I'll have to arrest you." said Carmelita.

"Hey you snot factory I'll chase him, find your own criminal!" yelled Carmen

"Stop it!" yelled their father. "Since you two can't handle it I'll take him down myself."

He took Sly's hand and lead him down the sidewalk and stopped at the door. Sly surveyed his surroundings. The place looked like a school as it had red bricks lining the walls. It looked about 40 feet high. Nearby painters were fixing up the title of the place. There was a huge playground in the backyard. Sly decided to make the best of it. But he would still misbehave. The cop knocked and an old lay of 60 answered.

"Why hello, we have someone new here." she said sweetly.

Silence

"Come on in"

Sly obeyed and walked up the black steps. He followed her passing a bunch of rooms. First they passed a number of rooms that were like school. One door in particular read 8th grade. Next he passed what looked like a lunchroom and a gym. Then he passed the showers and bathrooms. Finally they came to the bedroom. She walked in and stopped at a bed.

"This is your bed. I hope you are comfortable here. You may go to the playground or the toy room."

After she left Sly put the cover of his family's book under his pillow and set the cane under his bed. He left his favorite toys and pictures under the bed also inside his backpack. He started to walk outside when he bumped into a turtle.

Whoa I'm sorry dude I didn't see you." said the turtle.

"No it was my fault I wasn't looking where I was going." Sly responded.

"So you're not going to beat me up?" asked a confused turtle.

"No. Does everyone else?"

"Yes"

"Don't worry I'll look out for you."

"Thank you" said a grateful turtle.

"My name is Sly what's yours?"

"Bentley."

"Doesn't that mean an luxury car or something?" asked Sly

"Sadly it does. How old are you? I'm eight."

"I'm eight too!" Sly replied.

"Cool want to go play on the playground." asked Bentley.

"Sure" said Sly.

The playground was humongous. There were swings, slides, monkey bars and everything else you can imagine. They went over to the sand box where a little girl was playing.

She had long red hair over her eyes, purple skin and a lot of different features. She was a mixed breed. From the looks of it she had 12 different breeds mixed into her. She didn't wear matching clothes as she didn't care. Various kids were picking on her.

"Hey sextuplet breed where did you come from? Mars?" the kids started laughing.

When the girl cried they cracked up even more.

"Hey leave her alone!" Sly yelled.

"Oh so what you're her friend?" a kid asked

"Well maybe I am. You got a problem with that?" he threatened

" N.No!" the kid stammered.

"Good now guess what you're going to be her friend too. Cause if something happens to her I'll come and beat you up, understand?

"Y..yes."

"Good"

After they walked away they went over to the sandbox.

"What's your name?" they asked her.

"London" she replied weakly.

"Are you ok?" Sly asked

"Yes but the kids pick on me because I'm a mix of many different breeds. Want me to tell you my birth story?"

"Yeah sure." replied Bentley.

"Well my mother was a 16 year old eagle named July Octoray. She wanted a baby so she ordered an anonymous sperm of another eagle. Apparently there was a mix up. The clerk gave her a mixed breed instead. My mother gave birth to me in her house with the help of her friend who was a doctor. But when I came out my mother was shocked. I was a mixed breed. She called up the place and they admitted a mix up. July hated me, my own mother. She wouldn't name me as she didn't think of me as her daughter. I had to call her Mrs.Octoray not mom, mamma ,ma, or anything like that. Finally when I was 2 her friend told her to name me something instead of Unnamed. So she named me after the country she was studying in Social Studies. After that she dumped me in an orphanage!" she sobbed.

"That's horrible!" Bentley said.

"I know." she sighed.

Suddenly a bell rang.

"That's the lunch bell." London said.

"If you are 10 minutes late you get detention." Bentley explained. "20 minutes and you don't get any food."

"Then we'd better go!" exclaimed Sly.
