Ashe's POV:
I didn't understand what was going on, but I knew it was hurting. I thought I was enough for my son's mother, but she wanted drugs instead of me. "This hurts worse then a broken bone." I mumbled. My son's mother leaving me wasn't what hurt the most. What hurt most was that she took Danny from me. Looking at where Danny used to sleep, made me begin to cry. I had to get out of the auto shop, before I freaked out. So I got up from my sitting position on the floor; and walked out into the opening. But it didn't seem to help, since the moment I was near a tree, I began to punch it until my knuckles began to become bloody. "Sir what's wrong? Why are you punching the tree?" a female asked causing me to look her way. "Nothing's wrong." I said.

My response made her shake her head as she took something out of her pocket. She proceeded to clean; and bandage my wound. "Clearly there is. No one punches a tree for no reason." She said. I didn't bother to respond so I just stared at her. Once she was done, I snatched my hand away. "Don't bother trying to help me. It's not gonna get you or I anywhere." I said. I then walked back towards my auto shop. Before I could even open the door I felt the female grab my arm. "I'm sorry for being nosey, I just want to help you." she said. This upset me greatly, causing me to yank my arm away from her. "You pestering me, isn't gonna bring back my son!" I yelled. This caused her to gasp as her eyes welled up with tears. Seeing this caused me to sigh as I pinched the bridge of my nose. "Look I'm sorry. It's just that my son's drug addict mother took him from me; and if feels like I'm going to go insane." I said. This caused her to lower her head.

All I could think was what was wrong with her now. "My mother was a drug addict when I was younger. After my two friends died, a cop looked after me. So I can talk to him; and maybe we can get your son back." she said. I watched as she ran off, causing me to shake my head. I refused to believe her about what she said, so I decided to go back into my auto shop. Once inside I went back to my spot on the floor. For awhile it was silent, as I stared at a picture Danny made, until I heard the door open. "Dad! Where are you?!" Danny yelled making me get up to where he could see me. I waited for him to notice me standing up. "Dad there you are!" Danny yelled as he ran over to me. As soon as he ran into my arms, I held him close to me. I refused to let him go; and it seemed he was fine with it. "Are you alright?" I asked as I continued to hold him. "Yes. I'm home now." Danny said.

I cried once more, but it was no longer from hurting. I stood back up while keeping him in my arms, as I noticed the female from earlier. "Something you need?" I asked while holding Danny, as he had fallen asleep in my arms. "Talked to the cop that watched over me; and got him back." she said. "Thanks..." I said but then trailed off. "It's Sarah; and you're welcome." Sarah said. I nodded my head as I looked at her. I looked down at my son; and frowned. "Is everything ok?" Sarah asked. "I wish I could give him a better living arrangement." I said. "I live alone so you two could come stay with me." Sarah said. "I don't know. It doesn't seem right." I said. Sarah had then walked up to me; and placed her hand on my arm. "I assure you that it's fine." Sarah said. "Okay. I'll accept then." I said. Sarah nodded her head, as she looked up at me. She then gave me a small smile. "What all do you have that doesn't belong in an auto shop?" Sarah asked. "Basically everything except for my tools; and my motorcycle. But it's not much, its really just clothes, bed things; and my sons painting utensils." I said. "Alright me and officer Albrecht can help with that." Sarah said. I simply nodded my head as I looked at her. After a few hours we made it to Sarah's place.
