criminal case: oneshots of chaos

chapter 24: a lost kid, a new home

summary: adalia and alexander lost their son in an accident, as they are still grieving, they find a boy who is also alone, a boy around the same age their son would be if he was still alive.

author note: this is based on my own au, things may change in the original story as time passes.

They felt like the world was completed when their son was born, armin, which means hope or wish, because they had wished for a child for so long and their son was a beacon of hope that wishes could come true, he had beautiful black hair and dark brown eyes, he was always smiling and so happy.

They were a big happy family.

Until the accident happened.

They didn't know why this happened to them, they didn't know why this happened to their own son, he was such a good kid.

Armin was killed in an accident, he was hit by a drunk driver, The driver survived but Armin didn't.

Adalia and Alexander felt like the world had shattered before they're very own eyes, The child they had wanted for years had died.

Armin was only 12 years old.

4 years has passed.

They would always stop by the small market everyday, It was their favorite place to take armin when he was still alive.

They could still hear his footsteps, how their son had ran around the market and laughing, Just like any out of child.

This day wasn't any different, or so they thought.

adalia: i still remember when he ran down the isles, this was his favorite place....oh armin, i miss him so much.

alexander: i miss him too but we know that he wouldn't want us to mourn for him forever, one day we will have to move on.

adalia: but what if I don't want to move on? I finally got a child and do you know what happened? He dies, He died because someone decided to be selfish.

alexander: I know but being angry isn't going to bring him back, No matter how much we beg, Our son is in heaven, And there's nothing we can do about it but pray that he's doing better, that he's happier up there.

then they heard someone yelling.

person: stop that thief! Don't let him get away!

Adalia and Alexander looked at each other, they saw a figure run away, they were wearing a hoodie so it was hard to tell what they looked like and what their gender was, but from what the person said, It's possible that the person was a man but they couldn't be sure, So they ran after the person.

adalia: Stop right there!

The figure just ignored them, If anything, They ran even faster.

alexander: We have to do something and stop him!

adalia: Do you have that rock that you always carry in your pocket?

alexander: Of course I do, You know I always have the rock with me.

adalia: I hate to say this but you need to throw it in front of the figure, He could trip on the rock and we could catch him.

alexander: That sounds like a good idea.

He gets the rock from his pocket and threw it ahead, The figured trips on it and falls to the ground, a bunch of snacks fell out and landed on the ground.

adalia: That's a lot of snacks.

alexander: Why does this person need so many of them?

They looked at the figure and saw how dirty to clothes were, his shoes were torn and ready to fall apart.
