MI9 Head Quarters

An ounce of blood is worth more than a pound of friendship. ~Spanish Proverb

"This is impossible!" Carrie yelled throwing the case file.

"It always seems impossible until its done." Agent Davis said as he pinned markers on a map.

"Nelson Mandela" Rose said as she searched through another case file. "I like the quote To believe in God is impossible not to believe in Him is absurd. Voltaire."

"Why does anyone care?" Oscar said as he rested his head on his knees. He was exhausted and felt like crap. They'd been there for 6 hours reading file after file.

"You okay, son?" Agent Davis asked.

"Don't call me that." Oscar spat before coughing violently. Rose's eyes widened, she walked over to him and placed her hand over his forehead. He was burning up.

"Your ill." She said

"No I'm not." He protested. He doesn't get ill.

"Stop being stubborn and listen to her." Agent Davis said pinning more marker to the board.

"Shut up I'm fine." He said before coughing again.

"Yeah you sound it." Carrie said. Oscar yawned and leant back against the pillow, his eye lids felt heavy. He closed is eyes for a second and drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

"He's always been able to do that." Agent Davis said quietly.

"Do what?" Carrie asked.

"Sleep anywhere. He's sleep on a bench in a shopping centre when he was 4." Agent Davis said laughing at the memory.

" Did you miss him?" Rose asked.

" Yes everyday. He's all I thought about. I wondered what he looked liked, what he liked, what he disliked, if he was happy, if he hated me for leaving him." Agent Davis said turning to look at Rose.

"Why didn't you come back before now?" Carrie asked.

"I couldn't it was against the rules of the program I was part of. I wanted so badly. I wanted to hold my son again tell I loved him. But I left to late and now I can't do that. I know you hate because I hurt him, but I didn't mean to." He said pushing Oscar's bangs out of his eyes.

" I know but I love him and I can't stand people who hurt him." Rose said.

"You and Jade weren't the best parent's in the world, were you." Carrie said.

"Carrie" Rose said.

"She's right. Our jobs came before him and Haley and they should have come first always." He said.

"Oscar won't talk about Haley."

"I wouldn't suppose he remembers much. He was very young when she was kidnapped but I know that he loved her." He said walking to the board again. "We spend 2 years looking for her before we saw the truth that she was most likely dead, we never gave up hope even though we knew that are hope would make the pain worse if she was found dead."

"It can't have been easy." Carrie said.
"It was harder on Jade. She didn't want to believe her little angel was now a little angel." He said with a small, hollow chuckle.

"Stop trying to make us feel sorry for you." Carrie said.

"I wasn't trying to make you feel sorry for me" He said.

"Well you did." Rose said. Her feeling towards Agent Davis were changing, she was starting to understand him.

"Stop talking." Oscar mumbled half asleep.

The other 3 laughed at the sleeping boy which held a special place in all of their hearts.
