      (Well this is gonna be interesting)

         I was walking into the living room of the house with some snacks for a little movie I was gonna watch. I thought that this would be a fun and well... mostly exciting night to myself since I'm pretty sure Izzy is at work right now helping a client, um... patient? What does she call them again? Never mind. Just before I walked into the room I heard a very strange noise coming from the other side of the kitchen door. It was a baby crying.

    This was a surprise to me. We didn't have a kid. I thought to myself, 'maybe it's just the tv. Maybe I left it on or something.' I wish that was the case.

   I walked into the living room and saw Izzy changing a baby's diaper. I dropped my bowl of snacks to the floor as I covered my mouth to hold in a gasp. Izzy heard me come in and jumped in horror, which scared the baby into crying.

   "I-Izzy?! W-Why is th-there someone else's c-child in our... our..." I tried to call her out but couldn't muster the words.

   "Uhhhhh Shy, I can explain! It's not what it looks like!"  Izzy said, seeming to be in a panic.

   "H-how is this n-n-n-not what it looks like?! Where d-did you get this kid?!"

   "I... I umm listen, I.. how do I put this...umm"

   "Izzy! I-I know you're trying to hide something! I-I can tell in your voice... you didn't steal that child did you?..."

   "What?! N-no... I..." she let out a sigh, "I.. I took this child from someone in the office..."

   "You WHAT?!" I yelled loudly causing me to cough.

   "Shy!" Izzy ran up to me and tried to help me.

   "D-don't touch me!"

   "Shy... please I can explain my actions... please dear..."

   "....you... it better be g-good!" I said holding back the urge to burst out.

   "I.. at work on the way home I saw a child... I... it was crying and... I wasn't gonna take it but.. I went to the child to say hi to it. The kid looked at me and cooed.. it felt happy to see me. Like it had a gleam in its eyes for the first time.." Izzy explained while looking at the child.

   "SO YOU T-TOOK IT?!?" I yelled at her.

    "No! I wasn't gonna take the child at first! I knew it was wrong! So I didn't try it! But then the child started crying, and I could smell its diaper, the diaper was exposed and the child looked like it hadn't been changed in days!"

   "W-what?..."

   "I told the kids' parents about it and they just shrugged it off and blew cigarette smoke in my face Shy! Then they blew smoke into the baby's face to shut it up!"

   "I-Izzy..."

   "And then the child started crying, and coughing, and, and the kid was in pain! Shy! IT WAS IN PAIN!" Izzy started balling her eyes out, which in turn caused me to start crying slightly. I could see the truth in her eyes, as well as the sorrow and regret.

   "So then... that's why you took them?..."

   "I panicked! It was a child being ignored as it was crying for help! Hoping that anyone would feed it, change it, or something! I couldn't take it and I..." she paused for a moment and slumped her shoulders in regret, "I panicked."

    "S-so... that's why you took them?" I asked Izzy in a soft, voice attempting to be as understanding as possible. Izzy nodded, avoiding my eye contact.

   I never thought she would do something like this... I thought she was the best out of the both of us. But I could tell her intentions weren't evil or sadistic. She only wanted to help the poor kid.

   "I'm sorry Shy.. I'm a criminal.. I..." Izzy said, choking back her tears. I hugged her tightly.

    "We will figure this out dear.. Let's get this to the police station.. we can sort it from there."

    Izzy sniffed and hugged me tightly.

   "Okay... okay..."
