Emily's POV:
I then start driving back home but I'm stopped by what I see moving under some boxes close to a dumpster. I park my car closer and walk out not caring about the rain. I walk towards the dumpster and move the boxes and I'm greeted with a scared sad face. I smile and move closer.
"Hello lil buddy." I say to the little boy trying to hide behind the trash and boxes around.
"Don't be scared, but are you lost?" I ask the little boy. He nods his head in a yes motion. I move closer trying to hold his hand but he backs up. "Don't worry I'm not going to do anything to you, but do you know where you live?" He nods his head no. "What's your name?" I ask and nothing. I wait another minute but he won't say.
"Alright, lil bud I'm a police officer and I won't do anything to you, but we can't be out here in the rain so please come with me, and get you dry." He then backs up even more.
"I promise I won't do anything to you. Are you hungry?" He nods his head yes. "Well I'll get you anything you want but let's get in my car, and I promise I'm a police officer, I'm even wearing my uniform, see and I won't do anything to you. Come on let's go."
He then starts to get up and slowly walks to me. "Let's hurry this rain is not stopping any time soon." I smile and that's when he faintly smiles back. "Alright lil buddy come on." I say hurrying to open the car door for him and he gets in. I then run to the other side and get in looking at him. "I'm Emily but you can call me Em."
[....]
We arrive at my apartment and he walks in kind of scared. "I promise I won't do anything to you, but we need to get you warm and something to eat." I say. "You stay here and I'll get you a towel." I then come back a minute later and hand him the towel. I let him put on one of my t-shirts while his clothes dry in the dryer. Of course it's big on him but I have nothing else he can wear. "You want pizza?" I ask and he shows a big smile nodding yes. I'm guessing he's like 5 or 6 years old but I wonder what he was doing hiding in those boxes.
"Well there's some in the kitchen but let me get dry first and I'll heat some up for you."
I walk up to my room and change into dry clothes. I come back downstairs and heat up some slices of pizza. I then sit beside him. "So are you going to tell me your name now?" I ask. He looks at me and slowly whispers, "Chris."
"Cool name Chris, oh and here's your pizza." I say as I hand the plate to him. He immediately starts eating as if he hadn't eaten in days. I get up and bring him a soda. He smiles and takes a sip.
"Chris, what were you doing in those boxes?" I ask. He stops eating and looks at me. "My mom said to wait for her there and she would be back. I waited but she didn't come back." He says in a quiet low voice.
"How long did you wait for her?" I ask. "I don't know but it was more than 2 days and I had to eat what I could find." I look at him and turn the tv on. I leave it on a movie and place a blanket over him. He smiles and I smile back.
[....]
I wake up the next day and Chris is still sleeping. I walk up to my bedroom and take a shower. I change into my uniform and walk downstairs. I grab his clothes and place them on the couch. He wakes up and looks at me. "Your clothes are dry now, you can go change in the restroom and we'll go out for breakfast on our way to the station."
"Police station?!" He asks. "Yes Chris, I have to take you there and maybe we'll find your mom." He smiles. "Yay!" He then hurries to the restroom.
[....]
I walk into the brew with Chris holding my hand. "Em!" Ali smiles and looks at me. "Hey Ali." I smile back. "Who's this handsome little boy?" She asks while looking at Chris. "His name is Chris." She smiles at him and he smiles right away. "What can I get for you both?"
"I want a vanilla latte and you Chris?" I ask looking down at him. He stays quiet, so I lean down so he can tell me. "2 muffins Ali, and is there chocolate milk?"
"I don't think so Em, but I'll check in the back and maybe there's some." Ali says. "Okay, thanks Ali." I walk Chris to a table and he takes a seat on a chair. "I'll be over there where Ali is and I'll bring you your food okay?" He nods his head and smiles. I walk up to the counter as Ali makes our order.
"Is he related to you?" Asks Ali. "No, I found him yesterday hiding in some boxes, so I took him home and gave him food. I couldn't take him to the station since it was raining so hard and my apartment was closer. We're actually heading to the station, I hope we can find his mom."
"Oh. Well he's lucky you found him, your his angel, like you're mine." Ali whispers the last part but I heard her perfectly. I smile and look at her. "Glad I am." She finishes our order and hands it to me. "I'll be right back." I say.
"Here you go lil buddy, Ali luckily found chocolate milk." I hand him his food. "Thank you Emily." I smile and walk back to Ali.
