George is now 8 years old and she is in Year 2 of her schooling. Due to Alucard's training, George excels in sports. However, during gym class, her gym teacher notices cuts and bruises on George's back, legs, and shoulders.

"George."

"Yes, Mrs. Kara."

"Why are you sitting out of P.E. again?

George said nothing, as she watched the other kids play football, but handed her coach a note. The note was from Integra asking for George to be excused from P.E. in that she sustained bruised ribs from training with her father.

"And you got another black eye, I see." commented Mrs. Kara, as she looked George over.

"Training's hard." smirked George.

"Who are you training with that you sustain such damage?"

"My master gave them to me."

"You're master? You mean your father."

"Yes, he's teaching me to fight. Sometimes, I don't do as well as he hopes; but in the end, I always get the lesson right."

"Really?"

"Yes, Mrs. Kara, really. He's training me to be a great soldier, just like him." smiled George, proudly.

Mrs. Kara, of course, didn't believe her. "George, may I see your back?" George lifted her shirt and Mrs. Kara gasped in horror. "Ok. George, you're excused from P.E."

"Thanks." said George, as she continued to watch the game.

George paid her no mind or attention, as Mrs. Kara left her to go to her office. However, once there, Mrs. Kara made a phone call to the principal. Those cuts were too deep for just Karate lessons. And the marks on her back looked like lashes.

The next day, Sir Integra had a visitor in her office.

"Good afternoon, Sir Hellsing. My name is Mrs. Kenmore and I am from the child welfare services."

"You're late." chuckled Sir Integra.

"I beg your pardon?"

"I called you people eight years ago; but you wouldn't take her back. So why are you here now?"

Walter poured the tea and offered Mrs. Kenmore some tea cakes. She politely refused them and Walter withdrew from Integra's office.

"Well, we have it on good authority that George is being abused." said Mrs. Kenmore, sternly.

"Ha, if anyone is being abused here, it's Jon. She hates him. She stole his season tickets to the Ipswich football matches and buried them in the back yard somewhere. He's been looking for them for three months now."

"Is Jon abusing her?" queried Mrs. Kenmore, as she made notes in her book.

"No, he's her stepfather."

"Sir Hellsing, it has been my experience that children whose homes have been disrupted by remarriage..."

"Hold it; you think Jon is abusing George?"

"It is regrettable, but not uncommon. The marks on George's body are quite clear. She has been beaten and she has had three black eyes in two months. Someone is abusing that child."

"Oh, those. I told Alucard to take it easy on her." groaned Integra, as she shook her head. This was bound to have happened sooner or later. But Integra had hoped that it would not happen at all.
