Secrets hide in the shadows....

Run kid, run....

"Okay. There's not much left to do."

Lenny was busy again with a new project, which was pretty amazing. After all, he had been up all night and logically he should be sleeping now. But he didn't want to. He was stubborn as hell, especially when it came to new projects.

Nestled in his lap was a beautiful kitty named Nick who was sleeping sweetly.

But the whole idyll was ruined by Veronica, who practically kicked in the door to their shared office with her foot.

"LENNY! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME!"

The technician looked at Veronique with shock in his eyes. And then his gaze fell on the little ball of fur that stood beside his coworker. He recognized it as Gwen, the girl that Veronica was so eager to take with her.

"And what happened?" - he asked, coming out of shock.

Veronica's hair was standing on end and there was panic and fear in her eyes.

"Anika molested me!" - she gibbered.

Lenny looked at both Veronica and Gwen in surprise. The little girl looked sadly at her future foster mom's panic.

And then Lenny did something they both didn't expect him to do at all.

"AHAHAHAHAHAH!"- The technician began to laugh out loud.

Veronica looked at the laughing Lenny in surprise, and Gwen clung even tighter to her mom's hand.

"THIS ISN'T FUNNY, LENNY! I ALMOST GOT RAPED BY ANIKA!"- Veronica screamed, forgetting that there was a small child in the room with them, she grabbed a chair and threw it at her coworker.

The chair flew right into Lenny's face as he laughed out loud. Lenny, who was sitting on his lap and had already woken up from the noise, managed to jump away, and Lenny fell to the floor holding his mangled face. The chair fell somewhere near the technician.

"Ahahaha, there's nothing to rape." - Lenny grinned, clutching his head.

It was to be expected that Veronica would start beating and yelling at Lenny.

By the looks of it, Veronica, quite accomplished and intelligent, could never contain her rage. But in her defense, it was as if Lennie was always looking for a beating.

Gwen sat outside her mom's office hiding her head in her lap. Outside the door, the screaming and laughter was still going on. It was very frightening to the little girl.... Memories of her past life flew before her eyes, which made her squeeze more into the wall and wait for her mom and Uncle Lenny to calm down.

"Hey kid, what are you doing here?"

She looked up and saw the guard. He had dark blue eyes and black fur. She had seen this guard somewhere before, and she really tried hard to remember the guard's name.

"Hey. You're Gwen, right?" - The guard asked, sitting down next to the little girl. - I'm Finn.

Gwen didn't answer anything but looked at the guard with interest. Finn, in turn, was also looking at the little girl with great interest.

He heard something outside the door crash and then there was shouting.

"Wow, it's been a long time since they fought like that." - he grinned. - "What were they fighting like that about?"
