Zac nodded again, once more sinking into his quiet state of just looking out the window.
-
"S'a monkey..."
Came the soft reply, though nothing else Luke had said was answered. Zac didn't make a move to reveal the toy to Luke at all, and was now again staring fixedly out the window.
-
"George..." The little boy whispered a little, never relenting his hold even a little on the cuddly toy.
-
Zac nodded again a little, swallowing as he looked back out the window, his little knuckles gripping the toy he held close so tight they were turning white.
-
Zac swallowed a little, glancing up at him.
"Dey didn't?"
-
Zac shook his head, cuddling his animal to him more and snuggling more under the blanket that he had over him, his thumb going into his mouth despite the fact that he was 7.
-
"No...dey'll be back dey said....dey said I just gotta keep waitin for dem...den dey'll be back..."
Zac murmured like he'd been told it or he'd been telling it many times over.
-
"Mommy an' Daddy...."
He replied quietly, pressing a little closer to the window, almost like he was trying to melt right through it to get outside and wait for them.
-
Zac nodded a little but didn't do anything else to answer him, his stuffed animal cuddled a little closer to his stomach.
-
"Not...m'lookin for someone..."
Zac whispered gently, his eyes fixated out the window.
-
Eventually, Zac flicked a curious glance at him but nothing more than that. His little mind couldn't work out why Luke wasn't leaving like everyone else usually did when he ignored them.
-
Zack didn't answer, didn't even nod to show he had heard. He knew whoever was there would leave anyway, they always did.
-
The girl at the door watched sadly as Luke sat with him and Zack didn't even bat an eyelid at it. It was like no one else was in the room with him anyway...
-
Zack didn't look up as Luke came over, and it didn't look like he even heard Luke either the way he just continued to stare outside as if afraid to look away.
-
Eventually, the young girl just creaked the door open, stepping inside and letting Luke in, pointing over to the window.
There was where they young boy was sat, a stuffed animal that wasn't recognizable from the way it was hugged against his stomach, clutched tightly in his arms. He had a blanket covering him, like he never left that spot not even to sleep in, his head resting against the glass as his eyes gazed around the area he was looking out of, only moving when a car started to approch and sinking back down again when it wasn't who he was hoping for.
-
"Sure you can....i'll take ya to him.."
The girl said with a grateful smile, getting up and leading him up a staircase, going to a room and knocking on the door gently.
"Zac...there's someone here for you..."
She didn't get a reply.
-
"Then....we just keep trying to find someone who can connect with him...i'm sorry, I know its a lot to ask. You dont have to, there's always some fixin or something to be doin if you'd rather..."
She said, looking up at him.
-
"Well...with so many kids here we just dont have the time to spend with him alone...he needs a friend...someone who is just special to him, who comes just to see him. He wont leave his room so he doesn't make any friends with the other children here..."
She explained, sadly looking over his file.
-
"Yeah....his name's Zac...he's 7."
She soon found his notes and opened it up, looking them over to check they were the right ones.
"He's been here a couple of months now, brought here from chickasaw...his parents ran off and left him behind. All he does now is sit at his bedroom window and watch for them...."
-
"Well....at the moment I need help with all the children...but there's one in particular..."
She said, trying to tame the hair that had fallen out of the bun at the back of her head, looking through the notes on her desk.
-
All around the old place there were kids running around after each other, groups of girls trying to play dolls while the boys deliveratly ran through the middle of their games. Others were dancing to loud music in the living room while more kids ran around in the back yard. The place was a mess though it was obviously well kept when the children were behaving.
The girl led Luke to an office, having to prise children off her legs as she walked and they jumped on her trying to get her to play.
-
Looking to the flyer, a look of realization came over her face and she nodded happily.
"Oh yeah! Yeah any help would be great, come on in."
-
Eventually a frazzled looking young lady opened the door, looking up at him with a sigh.
"Hey there, can I help?"
-
As he knocked, an adult voice grew louder in among the children's, making its way towards the door.
"Come on Billy now move out the way, Sarah dont eat that, Ricky if I have to tell you again to stop jumping on the couch you won't get any dessert tonight!"

"No....godda wait fer my mommy an' Daddy...."
Zac replied quickly, not willing to leave the window let alone the room or the orphanage itself.
