((Any POV!!))
((Also I'm aware c00lkidd is 10. This takes place before Forsaken.))
"D4ddd!!"
The call of his "innocent" 8 year old child hung fresh in the back of his mind like he was there yesterday. That stupid little red demon causing chaos...as much as he hated how that kidd caused so much damage (especially to the Builder Brother's Pizzeria), he could never have yelled- or even lay a finger on him. What a change, for an ex-exploiter that used to be extremely cocky. He loved that child from the bottom to top of his heart.
..so where did he go?
Days turned into weeks, and maybe into months. No sign of c00lkidd. Anywhere. Where did he go? Where did he run? 007n7 scrambled across the house after he didn't return home last night. Did he do something? Did he get kidnapped? Did he...no, not possible. Not under his nose no. At least..hopefully. He checked room from room, under the bed...in the "secret spots" around the house...hell, don't know what he was thinking, but he checked the sink too. Who knows? Maybe c00lkidd did some weird script that made him small enough to fit in a sink. Perhaps hes still making it back home? No...its been like, 11 hours. The pizzeria wasn't that far.
..maybe he should give up.
**No...NO! He's still out there. Giggling...muffled or not, he needs to find him. He can't live without that mini version of himself from his teen years.
..why didn't he notice earlier? Why didn't he realize that kidd wasn't there last night? Why did he now notice when it was the middle of the next day? Why?
"..Its all my fault...why couldn't I just be a better father..."
007n7 sobbed to himself, his knees to his chest as he cried into a pillow. The shimmer of something gray flickered beneath him as he slightly lifted his head up. A pistol. Placed perfectly like it was waiting for him to notice. And...maybe use.
..To himself, maybe.
