I was walking with my brief case and humming a song from the past. A worker noticed or heard my humming and had a smile on his face.

"Hey boss, what's that song? It's kinda catchy." He said, leaning to the wall waiting for my response.

"It's lullaby, my mother made it for me"

"Really? Can I hear you sing?"when I started to have trouble sleeping at a young age. She was an incredible song writer  and actress.
wanted to became a famous actress or singer. too bad that it didn't happend.

"when we go down to the  river, we will shine, we will dine utill were full of laughter."

My mother's lullaby always help me slumber on her lap, the warmeess and softness of the bed and her around me always helps me feel safe.

"We never forget what were always after." She curled up a smile on her face, it made me smile at her too. Her voice always made me feel so good inside.

"But what are we even after?" I sang the next line with toothy grin. My mother giggled before singing again.

"I'm after for joy, happiness of ours." She place her finger on my hair and began to stroke it gently.

"Until we grow old and made a family" we sang together In unison.

"It never hurts to be with our happy, when they are ones who makes us lovely enough to feel loved. Now close your eyes." She said as she lowers my head from her lap to the big fluffy pillow.

"And let me have a good night." I said in a singing whisper voice while I cover my self with the blanket.

"While i say I love you, sleep tight" she said then before she would stand up, I grab her wrist quickly. She swing her face at my direction.

"Mom..."

"Yes?"

"You dont have to sleep with dad, I know he snores a lot and drools in his sleep" she laughed then embraced me.

" you too, you know!" She poked my nose then laid me back to bed. Her bright smile was the last smile I've ever seen.

"Boss?" I snapped back at reality, realizing that I was still talking to my employee.

"No, I won't sing, focus on your work. When you see me leaving early doesn't mean you and the other workers are leaving early too."

He looked disappointed and nodded. Good, because don't give your hope something like that stupid, it's better of if you finish your work then hoping to be leaving early.

I walked to the elevator, I pressed the button that would get me to the ground floor then the elevator doors started to close.

"Boss wait!" I sigh then place my hand between the elevator doors.

That was my secretary elizabeth, she is an attractive young woman that has an excellent academic knowlage and tolerance for children but can be very stubborn and have quite an appetite for a woman.

"I thought you were already at the car?" I said as I push away the elevator slides or doors for her to get in here.

"I forgot my phone at my table, sorry boss." She said looking down as she awkwardly move in while I press the button.

The elevator closed and started going down, she slide her hair behind her ear then fix her clipboard that was pressed agaunts her chest. I scratch my head.

"What time do we need to be in the orphanage?" I cleared my voice before speaking. She jumped a little getting caught off guard with my voice.

She glanced on the clipboard,"within 15 minutes, we might be running late, should I contact the orphanage that we would be late?" She asked then i put my hand inside of my pocket.

"Why? The orphanage is literally an hour walk from here"

"Traffic, I saw how much of a ruckus there while glancing  the window before getting in here." I groan in annoyance, i hate waiting and especially being late.

"Tell the others good luck with traffic and we'll meet them there, it depends if you wanna ride with me."

"Um, aren't we going all in the limo?"

"We'll be going to ride my motorcycle but it's your choice if you want to ride with me."

"Since when did you drive a motorcycle?"

"I was self thought, you can imagine the stupid falls I did when I was 15." She giggled then cleared her throat, she pulled out her cellphone and started typing or texting.

I took off my suit jacket and shoved it in my suitcase, the company of mine is about selling mechanical prosthetics to anybody. 

Today, we would be making mechanical prosthetics for children for free, it's like a charity event but with helpfull robot body parts. It would help the company reach more fame and more people reaching out to buy.

"Toby! that's my food!" Toby rolled his eyes and continued eating the girl's sandwich while walking away.

Clearly not giving a fuck until the little girl tattled him on her brother. He was intimidated but still kept a courageous look.

"You stole my breakfast and lunch, dont be a spoiled brat. Your lucky that your a girl, if you weren't then I'll gladly hit you with bat"

"Dont mess with my sister, you stupid unwanted freak." The boy pushed toby to the wall and punched him on the nose, toby's nose started to bleed a little. The little girl started to squeal or panic and ran away at sigh of blood and knowing this is ganna cause some problem.

"No wonder you were sent here, your mother is afraid of you, even your own stupid little sister,Jacob." Toby wanted to spit on his face but he decided not to.

"oh screw you, you know nothing! she just has a trigger with blood!" That was true but toby still kept insulting and shoving Jacob's insecurities on his face,verbally.

"Your just like your dad, control that hot hea dog yours and you might kill a woman like him-" Jacob head butted toby on the face then continued to beat up toby by punching him, kicking him by quick jabs and sharp kicks from the knee.

Toby cant fight back due to him being skinny and cam barely move since he was corner to the wall, he can doge but he didn't want to risk falling from the stairs.

"Take that back you-"

"Wow, your already like him" toby's cocky mouth got Jacob to throw him the stairs. He rolled down the stairs, getting blood splattered on the stairs because of his bleeding nose and his body getting bruised more.

"Jacob!" The care taker there yelled then ran over to him then toby, he sigh and cross his arms.

"Why cant you just get along? I don't want to hear excuses and stay in your rooms! Toby get up and get over here!" She yelled, toby slowly get up the floor while the care taker is talking jacob with his temper problems.

Toby always find it unfair for him to get treated badly by kids, even children that are younger than him. The little sister was younger than him by four years and she still picks on toby.

He cursed silently so he won't get caught while slowly walking back to the care taker and Jacob.

Jacob walked away and started to go in his room for a time out, the care taker looked at toby with a disappointed and frustrated glare.

"I-" the care taker didnt let him talk, everytime that happens always annoyed him.

" 'standing up for yourself' grow up jacob! Your almost eleven! Be a man and suck it up"

" THEY-"

"I dont wanna hear it, go back to your room, you dont need any prosthetics and some people will be coming here for the physical disable kids, I dont need you to cause trouble-" toby spit at the care maker's face then decided to make a run for it before the care taker can do anything.

"I hate this place" he whispered underneath his breath then went into his room. He closed it shut and locked it. He looked at the clock on the wall.

" 2pm, just a few more hours and I can finally leave this hell hole" he said then laid down on his bed, his stomach grumbled.

"....God dammit."

(Time skip)

"Are there any children that needs prosthetics? We have non mechanical ones as well." Elizabeth was talking to the care takers who took care of the physical disabled children while I was measuring their missing body parts and listing them on a note book.

I'm basically doing the work of the other people that should be here but traffic is still being a pain for them. I rather finish the work here with measuring then let them put the prosthetics on them later.

"Sit still, I can't measure how long your new leg can be-" the little girl burped out of no where, I can't help but chuckled. She place her hands on the top of my head and started playing with my hair.

"Wait....is it okay?" she said,realizing too late about asking permission first. She stopped playing with my hair.

"Whatever makes you still, I'm fine with it." I said then i saw Elizabeth looking at me and the girl with a smile. She noticed me staring back and quickly look away then wondered around the room to talk with kids.

After I measure the little girl's new leg, I helped her get back with her friends. I went back to the line of disabled children, the next kid was a bit with missing fingers.

"How old are you?" I said, reaching to his palm and looking at the clean cuts. Those  perfect clean cuts as if there weren't any fingers to be there to begin with.

"I'm 4." The little boy said, it quickly made him realise that whoever did this was sadistic and disgusting human being.

Who the fuck would cut a four yearold fingers off? It sounds like a fictional cliche crazy edgy characters would do(an:lez be real now-), it's more disturbing the real human would do this to a poor child.

"I'm very sorry for your losses but you can finally have new ones" he wanted to ask about what happend but he was talking to a child and rather not be insensitive about the topic.

"Yeah, that's why I was excited about this" the boy said, pure joy was on his face. Making the boy looked adorable so muc that it even made me smile,unaware.

"Your adorable, anyway try not to make me squeal while I do my work okay?" He said, the little boy laugh. I look at my left then jumped a little when I saw Elizabeth near me. I didnt noticed that she walked here.

"I will....mister?." I grab the measuring tools to start measuring.

"You can call me lucas" I said with a lazy smile while stretching the measuring tool.

"The care taker will be here with snacks for the kids and us, just letting you know that so you won't wonder where she went to." 

"Thanks." She sat down on a chair beside me and the kid.

"Is there anything I can help?" She asked, when I think about it. She's horrible with math so she cant help with that so maybe she could help with the kids in another way.

"Keeps the kids entertained or take a break, your call." I honestly don't care If she would do anything to hell or not. I just want to finish this as soon as possible so I can relax at home then let insomnia torture me.

Elizabeth began to chat with kids that was waiting until it was their turn, she got along with them so quick like a snap. Her resume said that she has experience with children since her last job was a teacher, I didn't knew she was that good though.

(Elizabeth's pov)

I saw a ginger haired kid open the door and closed it quickly.  The kid that I was talking to and the rest of the people in her snap their heads to the kid besides the boss, he looks so focus on his work.

"Oh hey there!" He shushed me quickly then walked around the room as if he was looking for something.

"What are you doing here!?" The kid with missing fingers that was boss working on right now yelled, making boss snap out of his magic math brain of his.

"Shut up George!" The ginger kid yelled back, I saw boss looked annoyed.

"how about you shut up and take a seat with that mouth of yours,kid?" I heard my boss said before turning his head back to look at the kid.

"You cant tell me what to do!" I should probably get the care taker, I was about to stand up but my boss looked at me like a signal to stay in my place.

"Your all bark and no bite, judging by your bruises. Come over here or you wanna get thrown out the window." Everyone in here tensed up and was intimidated by him, even I was but only a little but surprisingly the ginger haired kid kept a brave face.

"You can do that!" He yelled back, boss suddenly stood up with a serious look at his face. It made the ginger hair kid tremble a little but still kept his stance.

"Last warning." He took a few steps to ginger haired boy, I was even starting to get worried for the kid. Should I step in? BUT- he won't like really do that right?

The kid didn't do anything but just stood there, I saw my boss had a look of annoyance and disapproval. He quickly walked over to w window and opened it.

The kid panicked was about to run out of the room but boss suddenly started running g before he could do it so he caught him easily.

I heard him talking about his teen days, he said he was very athletic and I guess he still has those moves. He grabbed the kid by the collar and began draggin him.

"ARE YOU CRAZY!?" He yelled then hit him, I saw my boss clench his teeth and look like he was about to hit the kid.

"are you really that dumb to think I would throw you out the window? I would but the care taker might see me so behave or I will throw you out the damn window, unlike you I'm not all bark."

"P-please stop scaring the children-"

"PROVE IT YOU OLD BITCH!" The ginger hair kid yelled, I swore to God I saw my boss smirked for a quick momment. He took a deep breath and smiled, he crouched down.

everyone in the room was silent, quiet and anxious about what's going to happend. I'm more worried about what am I ganna fix this if he lost his temper.

(Back to the boss aka Luca pov)

I said nothing after that brat insulted me then I didnt let him to reply on purpose by grabbing his collar. I told him that I would be throwing him out the window, you'll be getting what you deserve.

I started dragging him to the window. He was squirming and I heard him sniffling but that didnt changed a thing. I noticed nobody even tried to stop me, Elizabeth was the only was protesting. She has guts for food and bravery, what a odd woman.

"BOSS!" I ignored elizabeth and open the window and shove the kid's head out. he was crying out of fear, he didn't bother to hide it.

I stood there, just letting him cry, his head was only out the window. His body is still intact and was still inside, do I look like I'm going to break your tiny skinny ass ginger locks?

I kinda wanna shove your head to your hips outside of the window, if you then dont worry. Your body will be helpfull for disabled children, young sir. I cant help but smile but I feel bad.

"Sorry! Sorry! Please stop!" He said wiping his tear away and drooling snot.  He look at me for a momment then looking down out of worry.

I was tempted but I still did it anyway. The kid screamed and cried louder. Someone punch me at the shoulder, it didnt hurt much but it was still a punch. I look over to see it was Elizabeth.

She was a nagger and didnt bother arguing with that woman. I pull back the kid inside the room and closed the window.

"I dont like brats, so if anybody of you misbehaved or insulted me especially by using vulgar language." The room's atmosphere turned so gloomy and dread, like a strict teacher teaching students that are cleary not liking her or him.

I didnt say anything next but pointed at the window, they immediately got the idea and stood still and the one who were lively and sitting talking with their friends shut up and sat properly.

I notice elizabeth drag the kid to an empty corner and started comforting the child. The one thing that pisses me off about that kid is that he tries to be intimidating but do how do you look like that when your all bruised?

I glare at the kid then went back to the fingerless child, I was about to measure then I heard the door open, i whip my head around to the donor's direction and saw the late workers that were suppose to be doing this.

I crossed my arms and sigh, "took you people enough! Do your work now! I dont want to hear any complaining and slacking off, especially you Brandon!" I yelled.

"Jeez,you dont have to call me out like that boss-"

"You can already tell I'm in a bad mood so stop stalking and give these kids their new prosthetics." I said, I realise that my sweet kind guy look from these kid's view turned into a scary strict guy. I threw a note book to them then one chubby make worker opened it.

"Measurments, all of you have to do is to measure the rest and adjust the mechanical prosthetics. Teach those kids how to operate it too." I said then getting up again then watch the workers right away going to their work."

Welp,I can't do anything about these kid's views. All I can do now is to talk to that ginger haired kid now but I'll give him some space for now.

(Toby)

"How do you work with some douchebag?" She just patted my head while I was still crying, those kids aren't saying it but it's obvious that they see me pathetic.

Kids act like their innocent but their not, she grab a tissue from her bag then wiping my tears away.

"His not a douchebag, he can be nice and friendly but he can scary and strict, his only like that when he wants work to be done or stressed." Why are defending a guy who literally was going to throw me out of a window? Are you crazy?

A guy with nice clothing went over to mr. fingerless boy who has a hard time opening a water bottle, I think he over heard us cause I hear him snort a little.

"You say it like you know him." He said as he grab a realistic fake finger, it looked like plastic but it has some mechanical parts inside of it. I can tell because I see some metal in there poking out a little.

"I've been working with him for almost four years, of course a secretary should know her boss."

"Do you know that he was an orphan?" I looked at him and so as the secretary girl out of surprised. That doesn't mean I forgive him, HE SHOVED HALF OF MY BODY OUT THE WINDOW, PEOPLE. HE SHOULD BE IN JAIL.

"How did you know?" The girl asked. I grab the tissue that she was holding and blow out with my nose.

"I rant into him drinking in bar with some of his friends, he was sober and was complaining about being a orphan." The guy laughed while placing and doing mechanical stuff with adjusting and...I dont really know, I'm just nine that can't write.

I saw that crazy lunatic walk over here but quietly, I couldn't speak but...LOOK BEHIND YOU, HIS GANNA SNAP YOUR NECK MAN. MISS YOU BETTER HELP ME REPORT THAT DEVIL TO THE POLICE.

"He actually said he wore a ma-" the guy slapped the guy's head. The guy panicked and started to focus on his work immediately like a press of a button.

"....I was 15 and I thought it would be hot for women to see a man wearing a mankini" the workers over heard it and laughed, he actually admitted to that and blushed a little. He laugh to while the girl beside me had a red face.

But what's a mankini though?

"Boss! Seriously!?" The guy  who got called boss only laughed harder.

"Shave before wearing those because I swear my ass never felt so uncomfortable." Every worker laugh their asses off, the kids around slowly started to be more lively except for me.

He looked at me for a momment then left with his hand in his pocket.

"What's your name?" The nice lady asked.

"My name is toby Larson"

"Larson?"
