Alexis gathered his knees to his chest, trying to gather as much heat as he could muster. The cardboard box he used as shelter hardly qualified to keep him safe from the cool weather, but he didn’t have much choice. Sighing, he stole a look toward the street, unsurprised when he didn’t see any familiar vehicle closing in. Oh, there were plenty of cars rolling around the area, humans seeking for some illicit fun. But Alexis didn’t want any part of that. He’d rather be mistaken for a hobo than a whore.

He’d abandoned Layton’s car a long time ago. It was too eye catching, and he knew the Cunninghams were probably looking for him already. He’d used the crowd in the subway to make sure the shifters lost his trace.

Unfortunately, he’d been unable to reach his parents through the call, but the employee who’d taken his message promised to relay it as soon as possible. Alexis had been forced to leave the phone behind as it could give away his location, so he couldn’t exactly call back. He’d named a place for the meeting, somewhere Morgan wouldn’t think of looking for him too soon. Now, however, Alexis found himself forced to wait in an area that was more than a little dangerous, and in a skimpy outfit that made him look like he was cruising for johns. The last thing he needed now was to be picked up by the police for prostitution.

In spite of the barrier he tried to put up, he was approached by several humans. They didn’t seem deterred by his scar, so Alexis used his power to direct them to other people. Thankfully, they obeyed his silent power and left him alone. Alexis didn’t know how much longer he could keep it up. He generally hated to use his power to manipulate others, and he still felt drained from his fight with Layton’s will.

When he finally saw the familiar black-clad figure of his father approach, Alexis thought he was dreaming. There was no way either one of his parents would demean themselves by coming to a place like this. But here he was, and his mother followed closely behind him.

They didn’t speak a word as they reached him. His mother gestured to another man, and the guard helped Alexis up and dropped a jacket on his shoulder. Alexis didn’t expect much from his parents, so he was surprised when his mother reached for his hand. It was warm, and after the chill dragging through his bones, that warmth was more than a little welcome.

They led him to a big limo, the slick luxury classical and familiar to Alexis. The guards took position in the front of the vehicle and in other cars while Alexis slipped into the biggest one with his parents. He felt self-conscious about staining the flawless expanse of the limousine seats, but he didn’t have much choice.

The car started, and for the longest time, they just sat there in uncomfortable silence.
