"Darcy you remember Warren's son Terry, well apparently due to a mishap with the law he has to do a year worth of community service; however, his father convinced me that if he did the hours helping me around the house would do him a lot better than anything the law could dish out on him."
"Careful dad people might mistake you for a miracle worker and send all their delinquents to you," Darcy snickered just to get a glare from her dad, but he soon redirected towards Terry who was trying to stifle his laughter. The rest of the car ride was silent as Darcy wondered why her dad was letting a complete stranger into their house even if he was the son to his favorite employee. In Darcy's mind nothing was adding up it seems the day she turned sixteen her whole life and way she use to live it seemed foreign to her now with all her new experiences and all the new people she has met, so she decided to let everything play out after all it was better than wasting too much of her brain cells in trying to figure out what was going to change due to all these new factors. They arrived home and Bruce gave Terry a list of to do things that haven't been completed since Alfred had died. Terry read out his first duty, which made a smile appear on both her dad's and her faces as Darcy whistled just to have a lean tall black dog trot across the staircase to answer Darcy's call, but as he was walking towards Darcy he smelled an unfamiliar scent and like all dogs he treated the new scent as a threat.
"Terry this is our dog Ace, Ace, Terry, so now that you are acquainted it won't be awkward," Darcy introduced just to have Ace barking wildly at Terry and snipping at his heels. This amused both Waynes to no end as Ace chased Terry towards the door. "Oh yeah don't worry Terry, fortunately he does bite."
"How is that fortunate?"
"Well at least it's fortunate for me, anyway have fun," Darcy replied as she went upstairs, but not before her dad stopped her by taking hold of her right arm, so she couldn't escape him into her secluded cavern known as her room.
"Did anything happen at work today?"
"No not really, just the norm you know a grand tour of the company, a history class on the charities you support, reading a truck load of interesting documents…what else I know I'm forgetting something…oh yeah a lovely talk with Derek Powers."
"Funny how that was the piece of information you had trouble remembering; anyway what did he say to you?"
"What can I say our talk might have been the only thing that didn't bore me; however, all I know is you should keep an eye on him," Darcy replied with a grave tone as she warned her father of her suspicions before breaking out of his grasp effortlessly to continue her journey to her room where she spent the rest of the night looking up whatever she could find on Derek Powers to find out just how much she needed to keep her guard up while she is at work.
"Mr. Wayne I finished everything on the list, can I go now?" Terry asked in an exhausted tone as he limped into the house after de-weeding Bruce's garden and replacing them with all sorts of different flowers, but the worst part for him had to be taking Ace out for a walk because he came back with bite and scratch marks all over his body. He started to look around the house when Bruce didn't answer him. As he searched all sort of rooms on the lower level he came across a golden bust of some person he figured was related to Bruce in what Terry guessed was Mr. Wayne's living room. As he approached the bust he notice something weird about the head of the bust; for some reason all around the head of the bust had a crack going through it as if someone had previously broken it or that the bust's head was meant to flip up. Whatever the reason was Terry was determined to figure out when he heard a menacing voice order him not to touch it, which made him jump back from it immediately just to see Bruce in the doorway of the living room glaring at him with anger.
"Sorry it was just that the bust looked kind of cool, and…"
"Since your finished please leave my property, do this every time you finished your time here Mr. McGinnis," Bruce ordered. Without a second wasted Terry was out of the house not wanting to anger Mr. Wayne any further not when he grew up hearing how scary he was when you crossed his bad side or step on a nerve from his father.
