Chapter 6
AT THE ORPHANAGE…
Crystal: Of course you can take a look at the children, Mrs Hannah. Do come inside.
Hannah: Thank-you Crystal.
Crystal: Kids! This might be your lucky day to get a family!
Hannah: I don't want a child. I want to adopt a baby if there is any.
Brock: We have two. Jesse and Bradley.
Hannah: May I please see them?
Brock: Certainly ma'am. Do be quiet, they are napping.
Hannah: *she followed Crystal into the nursery* My goodness! They are so cute! Who's who?
Crystal: The cheetah babe is Jesse and the wolf pup is Bradley.
Hannah: Well since they are, I'll take Jesse. I could always use a smile from a baby cheetah.
Brock: Of course ma'am. I just need you to fill out these papers and sign here. *Hannah filled out the papers and signed* Congratulations ma'am! You have now adopted little Jesse.
Crystal: You'll love the little sweet heart.
Hannah: Oh I'm sure I will. *she gently picked up Jesse and left the orphanage*
Brock: Now all we need to do is to find a home for Bradley.
AT THE GLUTTON'S HOME…
Blackout: Where is the cheetah and winged wolf you fat fools?
Mr. Glutton: Duh, I don't know.
Blackout: Then you are no use to me! *he charges his energy cannon and disintegrated the whole house including the Gluttons*
Starscream: So let me guess. Now you're pissed off.
Blackout: I've been tricked!
Cyclonus: At least it wasn't a trap…
Blackout: Go back to base. I have some business that I must take of.
Ramjet: Whatever.
Blackout: Those fools will pay with their own lives now!!!
AT THE ORPHANAGE…
Crystal: Thankfully we found a home for Jesse. Now we need to find a home for Bradley before those Decepticons find out that we've tricked them.
Brock: Yes, we want to be gone from this orphanage by the time they arrive as really not happy guys.
Crystal: We need to be relocated quickly once we find a home for Bradley.
Door Bell: DING DONG!
Crystal: I go answer the door. Maybe someone has come to adopt Bradley.
Brock: It's possible. But sometimes folks around here don't want babies. They want already grown kids.
Crystal: *stroked Bradley's head* Yes but apparently Hannah wanted a baby.
Brock: Aren't you going to answer the door?
Crystal: Can you please do it?
Brock: Why do I bother reminding you? *he hurries over to the door and answers it* Yes? *he sees a cloaked figure*
Cloaked Figure: I've heard you run an orphanage if I'm correct?
Brock: Yes, that is correct.
Cloaked Figure: Well, I've travelled far to adopt a child.
Brock: Why would you do that?
Cloaked Figure: Because where I come from, all the kids are already adopted.
Brock: Well you can come in. The children are all downstairs playing their videogames.
Cloaked Figure: Oh my. I don't think I want any kids obsessed with videogames.
Brock: There are others in the kitchen eating their third snack since lunch.
Cloaked Figure: I'm sorry but I don't want gluttons. I want a child who is relatively sincere, tender-hearted, and someone I know will love me forever.
Brock: Gee, that's a big want.
Cloaked Figure: Any girls?
Brock: They're way too rowdy. You won't find any of them sincere.
Cloaked Figure: Any younger than age 5?
Brock: We have two. Tristan is age three but gets hyper very easily and we have Bradley who is about seven months old.
Cloaked Figure: May I please see Tristan?
Brock: *a hyper young tiger ran by them* That was Tristan.
Cloaked Figure: I understand what you mean by hyper sir.
Brock: You can call me Brock.
Cloaked Figure: Brock delighted. I am Maven.
Brock: Delighted.
Maven: Where is the young one, Bradley?
Brock: He's sleeping in here. Not getting personal, but do you always adopt?
Maven: Oh no! I have had a daughter named Legossi.
Brock: That's an interesting name. *he opened the nursery door and led Maven in*
Maven: Well bless my soul, he is so adorable!
Crystal: His family was killed by a gang called the Decepticons. We brought him inside once we found him at our doorstep.
Maven: Decepticons? *sounded alarmed*
Brock: You know them?
Maven: I don't know who doesn't where I come from. They're trying to achieve total universe domination and want to wipe Earth's population of human beings clean and want to enslave the other species.
Crystal: That's awful!
Maven: Indeed. *she gazed lovingly at Bradley and noticed the backpack* Why on earth would this little one be wearing a backpack that's almost twice his size?
Brock: The Decepticons are looking for him. He's a winged wolf. We had to hide his wings or else the Decepticons would know who he is. His friend Jesse was also being hunted by them, but he already got adopted by Hannah.
Maven: That's odd. I've heard about the Decepticons hunting for little children. They probably have some significance with something the Decepticons have done.
Crystal: We don't know why they want him but the Decepticons came looking for the two of them earlier and I sent them on a wild goose chase. They're bound to come back knowing that they've been tricked.
Maven: I wouldn't be too surprised. I will take little Bradley since I really love him and because I don't want those Decepticons finding this little tyke. Who knows what they would do when they catch him.
Brock: Here are the papers and we need you to sign here please.
Maven: *she filled out the papers and signed them*
Crystal: We hope you'll love the little guy. Here's a little something you should read to understand more about why those Decepticons want him so badly.
Maven: *she lifted Bradley out of the cradle* Thank-you so much. *she took the papers and left*
