I gripped Atticus's hand, smiling at the little boy. Atticus giggled in delight as he dove his mouth into the orange cotton candy I had gotten him. "Mmmmhm." He frowned a little.

"Hey, buddy. Whats wrong?" I asked, walking around the pier.
"Nothing, I remember dad here." He smiled sadly. Atticus's dad had passed away to a disease when he was 3. His mom had left him on the streets and after that, the adoption agency had taken him in.

I swallowed a gulp of sadness. "Hey, we can come here whenever you want, alright bud?"
Atticus nodded, and faintly smiled again. "Hey, you know that Captain America had lost his parents when he was young too? I will become like him, and fight bad guys all day and night!" He exclaimed, with a determined look.

I smiled at him, then grew serious. My new exchange is today with a huge dealer. We're meeting at a disclosed space soon. I sigh, "Alright Atty, we gotta go now." Atticus nods, and I lead him over to his parents house.

"Be a good boy, okay?" I tell him. Atty smiled, showing his adorable baby teeth. "Yupp!"
