(Huesos POV)

I had recently gotten some new employees to help around the place, the restaurant has been bustling. One of my more promising understudies is Usagi, he is a Rabbit yokai that moved here from Japan a couple of months ago, he is a respectable young man with very good manners and enough charisma with customers but he will never be able to fill the hole my boy Leon filled. He brought about an energy in and out of the store, a reassuring smile with whatever he was doing, Leon's flair, bringing smiles to customers' faces. A smile on my face. I missed my son, he went missing 2 years ago. Today I will be joining his brother at their shine of respect and prayers that he is still alive. I feel terrible for his brothers. They have been running themselves dry these past 2 years trying to find him but at the same time they have already mourned their loss. Everyone but Donnie who seems to be consistent in the mindset that the only possible way is that he is alive somewhere, they love him dearly. I know why. 

That thought stream was quickly wisped away when a bright blue light appeared before me. What came out of the portal shook me to my very core. It was Leon! It was my son! He was home, but he was hurt badly, really badly. He looked almost like he was practically dead, my legs moved without thinking before I knew it I was beside him. Checking to see if he was breathing, shaking slightly as I sat on the balls of my feet... he was breathing but only just I needed to get him to the hospital! STAT!


He was hurt badly, covered in blood. Almost everything looked as if it was broken. He needed help, so I called Usagi from the kitchens and waiting tables hoping that my other employees would be able to hold up shop, to help me bring him upstairs to my coach upstairs. I needed to call the ambulance, but until they arrived he needed a place to rest. Usagi took him, I was almost reluctant to hand him over but I needed to get help. I thumbed with the phone, calling the ambulance as quickly as possible. As I explained what had happened, the people on the other line assumed I was pranking them as this hero of the world from killed aliens had been assumed to be dead for years. It didn't help that people had made this prank before so they refused to even check if I was right. They threatened me with the police if I called again, I can't have that happening. I tried to argue my case further but they hung up... 

What am I going to do? He could die in this condition. Do I tell his brothers?

One of my shorter chapters but I wanted a whole chapter to be dedicated to leosagi first interactions along with a cute first aid scene
