Blue

I don't know what I am doing here to be honest. I thought going to a mall to buy a new jacket, would be a quick job. I mean I just needed a simple jacket how long it will take? 

I was sure I'll be out in 15 minutes. Five minutes to choose, five minutes to try it on, and another five to pay and get the hell out. But my simple plan get crushed because of the schemes of the clothing stores, there were too many Effing Options to choose from, yeah laugh all you want maybe it's just because I had lived under a rock all this time, but even then this variety is something I had not anticipated at all.

The fifteen minutes had passed a long time ago, and yet I hadn't been able to pick a single jacket. I shouldn't have come here I could have bought a jacket on a local store or online.

I came across a black leather jacket and I perked up, only to find there was a little red rose stitched on the front. I put it back with a sad expression can't they just make a simple jacket without anything on it.

At the end I decided I will just go with the denim jacket. You can never go wrong with denim, and it's never going out of fashion. So it will be a good investment. I was about to pick it up when someone tugged at my shirt.I looked down there was a little boy, he seem to be around four years old, his curly black hairs and ocean blue eyes made me smile I knelt down to his height.

"Hello who are you baby." I tried in the softest voice I could muster.

He didn't say anything, and just looked at me with those eyes of his, I realised that he looked sad maybe he was lost.

"Are you lost?" I asked hoping he understand me.

He nodded his head and I sigh in releif "You want me to help find your parents." He hesitated but nodded his head. I clasped his little hands in mine and headed towards the control room of the mall. I need to make an announcement his parents must be searching for him.

He was following me silently and looking around continuously, this kid is little bit strange he was unusually silent, and he approached me from nowhere. Kids usually don't go to strangers, even if he was lost the most likely thing they do in this situation is to cry for help. Stay at the same place, or maybe approach the security. He should have looked for someone familiar. I seized the thinking and entered the control room pulling him with me there was a lady at the front desk.

"Can I help you with something sweety?"she asked kindly.

"Yes you can, this little guy here he needs to find his parents, could you please announce it on the speakers." I replied.

"Oh sure sure hey there! what's your name love." She asked the baby boy, he did not replied. She gave me a confused look, I smiled apologetically and bent down in front of him maybe he was a bit startled that's why he didn't replied.

"Baby we need to know your name in order to find your parents... Don't you want to meet your mom?" I asked in hopes to get him to speak, he must be missing his mom but his next move shocked us both he shook his head furiously when I asked him about his mom what th- I don't understand this.

I looked back at the lady and said "Just announce him from his appearance, if they were searching for him they will know" she looked doubtful but then she started announcing it on the mic.

I looked down at the little guy. He is an unusual kid, why did he reacted that way when I mentioned his mom?does he not have a mom maybe he have a single parent? I was thinking about the possibilities of his guardian.

When suddenly the door banged open, the loud noise almost cause me to jump in fright, the little kid scooted closer to me hugging my leg. Poor kid, I patted his head then proceeded to glare at the intruder, there was a women at the door.

She was panting by the looks of it, she must have ran here she was tall, with blond hairs and a slender figure all in all she looked like a runway model. And by the looks of her expensive dress and shoes I had say she lived like one too. 

She strengthen up pushing her curled blond hair over her shoulder, then her eyes scanned the room an upsetting scowl set on her face. When her eyes landed on the little guy hiding behind my legs, she sneered walking further into the room for some reason the child's grip on my leg tightened, yet he said nothing. I stroked his hand thinking what kind of connection this kid can have with that women?

"Blue, baby where were you? I was looking for you it's not safe for you to wonder around on your own." she knelt in front of the kid talking in an comforting voice, but the problem is that the kid didn't looked comfortable at all..by each passing second he was pressing more of his body towards my legs trying to hide.

"He is my child thank-you for reporting him but now you guys can go back to your work. I'm here to pick him up." she said I eyed her warily something seems off about her.

"Is he your son?" I asked the first question that come to my mind after looking at her, there was no doubt about the fact that they both looked so different. The little guy had curly dark black hair,  and sapphire blue eyes. The women was a blond with blue green eyes. I know I can't make assumptions just by the looks, maybe he adopted his father's looks but I had to ask just to be sure.

"Ofcourse I'm his mother!" She snapped in anger, a little movement from beside me caught my attention. The baby boy was shaking his head at her comment. Now, this is another warning sign I got defensive.

"Well it certainly doesn't look like it, I mean no harm miss but you have to show me some proof that he is your kid. His behaviour towards you is ringing warning bells in my ear." I responded.

"He is just angry with me, that I lost him in the mall.." she said then looking at the boy she added "Isn't that right baby? Mama is sorry, but now we have to go home. I swear I would never take my eyes off you." I don't know why that women sounded so weird. Was she trying to threaten a four years old? by the way the little boy squirmed beside me she certainly did.

"And beside that who are you? You have no say in this, give me my baby back or I'm calling the police." She threatened, knowing that she have won the argument. No stranger would go to that length for this, it's not my responsibility anyway.

"Good because I was going to call the police anyway. It's not everyday I see something like this, usually a kid would have ran to his mother as soon as they see her. But he seems to be running away from you, even if you are his mother this behaviour is oddly strange. And I would really like to know the reason." I stated the woman looked shocked but she quickly caught up.

Within a second she had knelt down grabbed the kids hands aggressively and hauled him up in her arms "Don't interfere in our personal life." she sneered dragging the kid away. Who had started crying. for some reason, it broke my heart I ran behind her.

"STOP! why are you in such a hurry if you hadn't done anything wrong." I yelled grabbing her arm, stopping her from moving any further. She struggled, trying to get her hand out of my grip that was the moment I knew something was definitely wrong. And I needed to do something quick.

"Call the police! NOW!" I yelled at the control room lady she quickly snapped into action,  she also had suspicion.

"Madam please stop and put the child down, even if he is your child. Just answer some questions and than we will let you go." The woman tried to reason with her.

"Or you can just call your Husband." the woman sent her a glare "Or your partner the father of the child" she added quickly.

She humphed I raised my eyebrows, now that's very convincing proposition, and if she didn't accept this. I'm personally adding her in the wanted list of child trafficking.

"My boyfriend is not in town." she gave an excuse.

"Well then call him that can work too." I insisted.

And it was that moment, the woman decided to bolt through the doors like a fucking bullet.

"Madam call the police NOW!!" I yelled at the lady before running after her like my life dependent on it.

When I saw her running through the corridors,  while hosting up a crying blue in her arms there were two things that ran through my mind :-

1- how is she running like that in heels?

2- I'm about to beat.. scratch that, kill this b!tch.

So using my fantastic skills, I took a long breath than yelled with all the energy I had "ATTENTION A CHILD TRAFFICKER ON THE RUN!!!" 

"STOP HER!" 

Thankfully, the walking crowd stilled at my words and a granny who was shopping on the ground floor, stopped the wench by a Cane.. by her f*cking cane.

"I don't think so missy." She narrowed her eyes at her blocking her path.

"Whose child is this?"

"He is mine! I'm his mother!!!" She screamed by now I had reached them.

And the first thing I did was to grab the crying baby away from her. I patted his back saying "Don't worry I got you, she can't do anything to you now." I don't know why I felt like I needed to say that to him.

Now on the more pressing matters "thanks Gran" I thanked the grandmother, then fixing the blondie with a glare I stated "You see, mothers don't behave towards their children like that. They don't clutch them and run like the house is on fire. They stay cradle them like this, and calm them down." I said gesturing towards the baby boy who was now peacefully sleeping, probably tired from all the crying.

"So by your little running feat I know that you're not his mother. Tell me who you are? and what exactly are you planning to do with this baby before I give in to my natural instincts and claw your eyes out?" I threatened.

"I'm not his mother.." the wench said finally braking down in sobs.

"But I'm going to be his mother" she stated what the absolute fuck.

----------------------------------------------

After a life time, that was actually forty five minutes I learnt that bitch was not shiting with me, she was actually going to be that baby's mother... Thank goodness now that will never happen.

After that incident, the police came shortly after... nd they helped in solving the issue. I was determined on not handing over the baby, until one of his real parents come over. 

The police took the number from the bimbos phone, and called her boyfriend who hurried over. Nathaniel was his name, and blue the baby was his son. Then after a lot of inquiry, the police finally came to a conclusion. And they took the bimbo for investigation with them. Seeing her getting dragged away by the police was the best thing ever,  it made my day.

The whole story was kind of a hurricane, that b!tch I mean, Janelia Anderson was Nathan's new girlfriend they were together for 3 months.

Nathaniel was single for a long time after his wife's sudden death. He he was absolutely broken and disappointed in life, the only thing that get him by was seeing the face of his son.

He dedicated his life towards him, taking care of Blue, kept him away from the pain but after an year he realised that Blue needs a mother.  He was an unusually quite kid. He wanted to give his son a normal childhood despite everything that happened.

So, he decided to start dating again he met Janelia in an event, and since then they were seeing eachother, at first everything seemed normal, happy even... He described her as observant and caring which just screamed stalkish to me.

Anyways, after some time he noticed that Janelia has some anger issues, and she had a habit of yelling in frustration. Once she yelled in front of Blue he got scared and started crying. That was it for him, he decided breaking-up with her will be the best for both of them.

And that brings us here, on the current situation. Jane didn't handled the break-up well, and when she learnt part of the reason was Blue she lost it. She kept her cool in front of him, and lied she understands, but the next day she volunteered to do babysitting for Blue when he had an urgent meeting. And when he came home they both weren't there.

She kidnapped Blue and blackmailed her ex to marry her, or else he will not get his son back. And if it's not the most psychopathic shit I have ever heard. I couldn't believe it, but when I look back at the wench who was screaming and struggling against her handcuffs, I can see why? She wasn't mentally stable. Poor Blue, he had to spend so much time with a psychopath. I patted his head, and thought the women who gave birth to him, wouldn't wanted that for her son. His father had failed him even though he tried his best.

"You have failed your son once, but don't fail your wife who had put her trust in you to take care of her son. No sane women wants that kind of thing to happen to their kids." I stated.

Only when I saw the pain and grief in his eyes, that showed he regretted everything that happened. I tried to wake up Blue from my arms and hand him over, the baby was quite but when he saw his dad he beamed, stretching his little chubby arms towards his awaiting father, who pulled him in his arms, swinging him around that made him giggle uncontrollably. Now that made me smile.

And I thought it's about time I take my leave, and search again for that danim jacket. Little Blue reached over to his dad's ear and whispered something. Nathan smiled and turned to me. "He is asking if you will come over to play with him?" I smiled looking at him, who was busy trying to hide himself in his dad's neck, he is so shy it's adorable.

"Well who can say no to that face, I will come if you send me your address." We exchanged numbers and I bid my farewell.

Well that was an strange event, but I'm happy that everything turned out well. And thank the heavens that Blue is safe. I still don't know why he walked upto me for help? he didn't even know me. 

When I asked that to Nathaniel, he just shrugged and said "Maybe he thought you looked like his mother, she also had long curly hairs and brown skin, and she always wore a smile on her face. He may have thought you were somehow related to his mother, so you'll be safe to approach."

I just shrugged and replied "Kid's thinking process is kinda different from us, but maybe that's because their heart is so pure."
