The Eagle: Get here right now.

A sigh escapes my lips and I quickly get out of my very comfortable bed. Reaching out for a pair of leggings, as I am only dressed in a pair of shorts right now, I put them on as fast as possible.

I lock the door, not wanting my parents to come in while I'm gone, and open my window. I have the best room in the house because there's a small roof right under my window. I take my phone with me and jump out.

Landing on the roof, I do another jump and my legs touch the ground perfectly, no injuries.

Not looking back, I quickly run towards the building.

Why the heck didn't I put on a jumper before I came? Who leaves the house, in this weather, with a t-shirt?

"You're late"

"Sorry"pant, pant "I tried to get here as quickly as possible"

"Don't make up stupid excuses!" He yells, slamming his hand on the wooden table in front of him, making me jump back from his sudden action.

"I'm sorry sir" I squeak out, my voice getting a little high "It won't happen again"

He ignores what I say and dials a number on the phone on his desk. A few seconds go past as I hear him mutter a 'send him in' before he hangs up the phone and relaxes on his chair.

I didn't want to say anything else, as he was already angry with me, so I stayed silent, thinking about how this room is much too nice for a man like him. It screams out cozy and comfortable, while he seems to be the exact opposite.

I'm taken out of my thoughts when I hear the slamming of a door. I look back to see the man who had run into me in the park yesterday.

"Hello" He sticks his hand out, obviously wanting me to shake it. "I'm Josh, your new partner"

I nod and give him a smile.

Then out of nowhere, a girl, who strangely feels familiar, walks in. Her beautiful golden locks going down her back. Her eyes so big and blue, giving off such an innocent and pure aura around her.

"This is Precious. You're going to look after her till we find her foster parents"

I look at the little girl, her name was really pretty, just like the rest of her. But seriously though, how can I take care of her?!

"You can show yourselves out"

We don't say anything else and just do as we're told. I grab Precious' hand along with me, taking her away with me.

"Wow, she's so cute" this comes from Josh, who's admiring the beauty near him.

"She is" I agree, nodding along with him.

"So how are we going to do this?"

"Honestly," I start, "I don't know. I mean, I can't take her home, my parents will get really suspicious"

"All right, that's ok. Since I'm done with school, I'll look after her during the time you're at school. Then you can come over and look after her on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays"

I think about what he says for a minute and then nod. "Ok that sounds good"

"All right well goodnight" He says, taking Precious' small hands into his.

"'Night" I reply, before walking away.

Wow what a day today has been. I can't wait till I get to my bed.
