The following morning tensions erupted at Stoneybridge when Jay couldn't find his Felix Fortis action figure. He was sure he had left it in his room but couldn't find it anywhere. He pulled all the covers of his bed. Emptied his rucksack. The action figure was nowhere to found.
May-Li it's gone I've looked everywhere he shouted his voice quivering with emotion
Ok I'm sure it can't of got far. Have you checked the common room?
No. I didn't take it in there. Someone's nicked it.
Let's not jump to conclusions maybe it's just been misplaced or moved by mistake coaxed May-li seeing how worked up Jay was getting
Jay stormed out of the office and went to the common room. He grabbed the cushions from the sofa to look underneath. He threw the cushions back down and then lunged onto the sofa and started punching one of the cushions.
What's wrong with you? asked Stacy. Sian and Sky sniggered behind her.
Nothing
Doesn't look like nothing. You seem to be having quite a tantrum
I'm not having a tantrum.
The three girls burst into laughter
Suit yourself replied Stacy and the girls turned and left
Jay slumped back on the sofa. Frustrated and angry and missing Bird more than he would ever admit
Are you ok? asked Taz walking into the room
Jay shrugged and turned away from her
What's wrong? Don't you like it here? I don't really but May-Li says we won't be here long so that's good isn't it rambled Taz
Jay ignored her
Taz sat down on the floor in front of the sofa facing Jay. She was now at eye level.
It's gonna be ok. I'm sure of it. Mike and May-li will sort everything out and then we can go back to the DG.
I know. It's just I lost something. Something really important.
What did you lose?
My Felix Fortis action figure.
Your superhero toy?
It's not just a toy. I have had it since I was little, since before I went into care. It's important to me. Memories and all that.
Oh right. I'm sorry. Your Felix thingy is like my Raggy Anne.
Raggy what?
Raggy Anne. She's my rag doll. I've had her since I was really little. My mum made her for me. Raggy Anne is back at the Dg I hope she's ok. I wish I could have brought her here but Mike said it was too dangerous to go upstairs and get her.
That sucks
Yeah.
I hope you get her back
I hope you find Felix. I'll help you find him.
Thanks
