Alistair glanced at the people that walked in front of him. There were a lot of people out considering that it was nearing the end of the day. School was out and for some people work had ended so the streets were full of people rushing to get home. It wasn't a sentiment that Alistair shared, for going home would mean having to be alone with his step father David until his mom got back from work. David was a tall thin man with circular spectacles and neat blond hair that was gradually falling out.<br/>He and Alistair had never really gotten along due to the fact that David hated that Alistair was smarter than him. David taught at the local university and had often prided himself on being something of an influencial figure. When he had brought home his work, he had loved telling Alistair and his mother every little detail about how he figured out the solution to a biological problem that had most of the lecturers stumped. Alistair had taken one look at the problem and offered not only a solution, but a solution that was more fesible than the one David had come up with. David hadn't liked that at all.<br/>'Hold up...' Alistair mumbled curiously as his thoughts were interrupted as his gaze landed on a young man that had just walked past the bench he sat on. He didn't quite know what it was about the young man that intrigued him, but he couldn't help but feel alarm bells go off inside his head.<br/>He got to his feet and began to walk after the young man whilst mentally noting down his physical features and what clues his outfit was giving him. He knew that something about this boy felt odd and that he needed to find out what it was.
