Jack waited around for her outside, looking around the area curiously and watching some normal children playing nearby. They interested him because they were so like the younger kids who lived with him when they were that age, the oldest of the normal children being about five, and seeing them made him wonder how the scientists could have ever argued that he and his kind weren't human enough to have rights while the opposite was so obviously true.<br/>He didn't notice at first when she returned, and instead of following her when she walked by he went over there to pull one of the children out of the street and keep it from being hit by an approaching car. Without saying anything, he set the frightened and now crying child down on the steps where the others were playing and ran to catch up with her. "Want me to carry anything?" He offered, despite knowing that she could carry her own things and being fairly sure she would not accept his offer. He was only being polite.
