Roger's P.O.V ( TW: DV)

I was in my office working on updating our safety protocols since they needed to be updated anyway, especially after the whole ordeal with the elders. When I heard a knock at my door.

"It's open" I couldn't lock down the paper that was on my desk.

At that moment I heard the door open and looked up to see Dean entering the room before he said.

" Hey Rog, Do you have a second?" Dean sat down in the chair in front of my desk with a look of hesitation plastered all over his face.

" What's up make, you alright? You look like something is on your mind".

"Yeah......My niece and nephew are here and upstairs with Chloe and Ty right now, but they came in when I was standing at my post at the door a few minutes ago. They came from my stepsister's house looking malnourished and bruised my stepsister is probably off her rocker again. Is there any room at the compound? I don't think it's safe for them to go back to her I know her ex-husband is trying to get custody of them and I'm thinking that I will have someone come by with the paperwork to have her sign her parental right away so they can be under the care of Rhapsody partially".

"Fuck my life mate I'm sorry I think that's the best option for them at this point. How old are they?".

" Juliet is fifteen and James is twelve".

"Okay uhmmm give me twenty minutes tops and I'll find you downstairs I'm going to phone the Rhapsody and have Kelly and or Thalia prepare rooms for them. What Academy do they attend? Because I think they might need new uniforms and supplies".

" I think St. Anthony's it's in the west end she spent all her money to put her kids in that school".

" That's a very prestigious school".

" Indeed it is".

" Well, I will phone Rhapsody right now, and again I will come to find you".

" Thank you so much Roger. I was a bit hesitant to do this because I know employers don't like to do stuff like this".

" Traditional yes, but we are untraditional and have an open book policy".

Dean nodded and thanked me again before the incident, the room, as I punched in the main number for the compound and weighed for one of the house mothers to answer. The ringing continued until I heard.

" This is Thalia, How can I help you?" A familiar voice came on the other end of the line.

" Hey T it's Roger".

" Hey Rog, What's up?

"We have two emergency placements that need rooms ASAP and they are Dean's niece and nephew and it sounds like the mother who is his stepsister has some sort of psychological issues".

"Okay we have plenty of room for the two of them but, What do they need and how old are they?".

I pulled out my desk drawer to reach into it and grab a pack of cigarettes then I pulled one out and put the box back into the drawer before tucking the phone between my shoulder and my ear, as I grabbed the lighter. As I heard her say that statement he put the cigarette in my mouth and let it then I excelled.

"Mmmh..." I grabbed my phone and held it again to my ear after I put the lighter back down on the desk. " They fifteen and twelve also well need new uniforms for St. Anthony's along with some supplies other than that I think they might go back home and get some other belongings".

" Alright, I believe we had some leftover unicorns for St. Anthony's".

" Fantastic I will let Dean know then when he is done with his shift, they will head over to you after that".

" Sounds good it was good to hear from you and glad that you guys are okay".

" And the same to you".

And so with that, I hung up the phone before making my way down to the main room to find Dean and tell him the good news. after thinking my way through the throng of people dancing about on the floor I found him standing at his post by the door.

" Hey I just got off the phone with Thalia and she said they have room for the two of them so they can stay there tonight after your shift ends".

" Thanks again I will let them know here in a few minutes. I am about to go on my break".

" Excellent".

After I walked away I stopped by the main bar to grab myself another drink before heading back up to my office where I went back to work.
