what a life (Naturals One shots)

Day 8

"he was the only constant in their lives"

Dean sat in the FBI office as he watched everyone work around him, he couldn't help but see the amount of eyes looking at him every so often. He was Daniel Redding's son. No one would forget. He focused on Agent Briggs, who now swept through the room with a older man behind him.The mans face told Dean everything

he was lost, and broken, not physically but his heart is broken

"Dean, this is Judd Hawkins, he will be taking care of you" Briggs said as Judd looked at the boy, not with the usual judgmental look, but one that was almost fatherly. 

"Come on son" Judd squeezed his shoulder "lets go home" 

Lia, age 13, was not super happy about being forced off the streets into a black car by some guy who decided she was worth the trouble, and defiantly wasn't happy when she found out she was being sent to some program.

"Agent, excuse me but why can't I go back to my lavish life back in the alley? I would much appreciate that" she said as she stepped out of the car in front of a house, it was worn down a bit on the outside, but the gently glow inside told her more then one inhabited the house.

great, more people to deal with

she followed Briggs as he lead the way to the front door, a older looking man answered the door, his face softened as his eyes landed on her. She crossed her arms and looked past him at a blonde haired boy who sat on the stairs observing her.

"Care to lead me to my accommodations" she said flashing a smile, the older man chuckled before grabbing a bag from Briggs. It had her name on it.

"We will get you more clothes tomorrow, Dean will show you your room" he turned around and looked at the boy, who's name was apparently Dean.

"Yes Judd" 

Judd? what a funny name

she followed Dean up the stairs to a small room. it had a bed with blue sheets on it, a few clothes hung in the closet. A desk with a I-pod was set up in the corner. Dean set her bag down and turned toward her.

"I'm fourteen, How old are you"

"thirteen, I am thirteen and my name is Lia" he nodded and turned towards the door "Judd makes pancakes most days, hope you like that" Lia nodded, a little confused on why he didn't ask anymore questions.

"I don't care about your past Lia, I only care about who you are from this point forward" Dean left, leaving Lia to her own devices. She saw the window and within minutes she was on the roof looking out at the neighborhood. She scooted toward the edge and tried to figure out what would happen if she jumped when she heard the window slide open more.

"Sweetheart, you can't make that jump" Judd stood inside, he wasn't lying "come on" he held out his hand for her to grab. for some reason she took it.

"I can't make you value yourself" he said once she got inside "but I am here, I will never leave you,  I promise. Now go to bed we have a day of shopping" As Lia fell asleep all she could hear was the truth ringing through her head.

I will never leave you

Sloane awkwardly shifted her weight between her feet. she whispered statistics and the numbers of PI under her breath as she waited for the so call security to come back. Being 15, she wasn't legally supposed to be in the Casino gambling and playing poker. when she was caught she was sure she was going to be sent somewhere, but instead she was told to wait in the sercuritys holding room by a guy who's name was Tanner Briggs. The door opened and Slaoen looked up, Briggs was back with a man who instantly looked at her. She smiled.

"You know the DoDO bird was actually quite intelligent despite what you see on TV" she said trying start a conversation. Instead the older man walked towards her, he looked like he was trying not to cry. He gently grabbed her hands in his and looked in her eyes.

"We have a program for kids like you" he started and Sloane quirked her head to the side 

"Illegitimate kids? "

"incredibly gifted" He said and she thought "there is a high probability I don't have a choice" Sloane said and the older man smiled at her. She hugged him, it felt right. But she was surprised when his arms wrapped around her and squeezed.

Michael Wasn't about to play victim fro the FBI agents who filled his living room. Instead he sat there smiling as the Agents questioned his father. He ended up being traded in to cover up crimes.

"Welcoming party is a bit weak don't you think" He said as he stepped out of the car and faced towards the house, three other teens sat on the stairs, a older man walked down the drive to greet them

"Michael Townsend, welcome to the program, I'm Judd" he said taking the bags from the back. Michael followed him.

"He is really nice, He makes pancakes" The smaller Blonde haired girl beamed "there are exactly 34.6 percent more chocolate in them now then before" She smiled again and Michale nodded "I like chocolate pancakes" 

"You're room is next to Deans" Judd said as Michale followed the trio up "And son?" he turned, watching the mans face all he saw was fierce protection and Love "I'm here, no matter what"
