TOOG : 10 The missing

New life

Wash sat in his room thinking about all that happened last year in hope that the future would be better knowing they still hadn't captured his father Wash got up thinking of all the things he should do but can't in fear of blowing their cover having cut his hair two months ago he felt like he wasn't him any more that someone else was in control but tried to act like he was normal still having to be the load bearing stone in the family but some of it was lifted by Bill since she had gotten over what had happened being shot and all she became the mother of the family having to run after their mother and brother Wash tried to not be a hassle to any of them and if he had problems he hid them well not arousing suspicion from the rest of his family since he got good at lies

Bill: hey Wash you have to go you'll miss your first day at school Wash: right yes I was just grabbing my things Bill: I found out the bus should pick you up at the end of the road in five minutes so I would hurry if I were you Wash: right Bill I won't be late Bill: it's still so weird to hear you call me that Wash: how do you think I feel I mean I'm going to have a whole school calling me Washington Bill: you have it worse this time dinner will be at six Wash: right mum Bill: hey Wash: see you this afternoon

Wash left the house thinking about who he would meet what type of students also went to school by bus once at the stop he waited a few minutes before spotting another student in the same uniform walking

Wash: hey, hey you in uniform ???: what Wash: do you know when the bus is meant to get here ???: there is no bus kid Wash: what why not ???: I don't know, I don't know much of anything anymore

The kid continued to walk Wash decided to follow him now knowing he was meant to walk catching up with the kid

Wash: sorry hello how are you this morning ???: annoyed Wash: why are you annoyed ???: well for starters I have this kid pestering me right now and second it's my last year of school and everyone hates me because they think something Wash: oh well I'm starting in the school ???: really what year Wash: twelve they say it's a "step up" ???: ya but there isn't much of a step up it's basically the same work new year Wash: for me from year seven to eleven has been the easiest

The two continued their walk for a little before Wash looked at the kid

???: you know if you keep dyeing your hair like that it will end up damaging your head Wash: pardon ???: your hair it's purple but the type your using will ruin your head I should know my mum used the brand the better one to use is serenity dye it stays for longer and doesn't wreak your hair Wash: thanks I'm Washington Nightingale Shoda: I'm Shoda Sparrow Wash: your first name that's Shoda: Japanese I know my mother has a Japan heritage while my dad's is American we lived here for seven years now Wash: that's a long time I only just moved here Shoda: well this isn't the best place in the world but you can work with it if you know what your doing

Wash started to think about what he could be able to do

Wash: what do you plan to do after the year Shoda: well maybe I was thinking about a detective agency where we take on cases and solve them to the best of our abilities Wash: I might join you in that Shoda: well I would need to know your background

Thinking about how he would be able to help in his agency seeing as he had been in a fight thinking back to the hospital how he distracted his dad before thinking about forensics how he could start learning about it
