After some waiting, waiting, and doing even more waiting, Dimitra decided she couldn't wait any longer for Dewey to come and pick her up. It had started to rain and she'd forgotten her coat at home, she wanted to head home before it turned into an absolute downpour. She figured it'd be a safe enough bet to head towards Dewey's school to maybe look for him there. He'd probably have an umbrella for them to share.

It was quite a bit of walking to get to Dewey's school, as they were in different school districts, and when she got there, she went to the office to ask about him, only to find out he'd been in detention. This wasn't something that was totally unheard of, Dewey was often getting into hijinks that got him into trouble, but usually he found a way to weasel his way out of it. She poked her head into the detention room, finding it empty, and then headed outside to circle back to her school. Maybe she'd just missed him and he was heading that way now.

As she went back outside the building, she found an alleyway that looked like it cut across the block, a shortcut of sorts back to the way she'd come from. She figured she should hurry, lest she miss Dewey again and have him worried about her, so she headed that way.

Dewey was balled up on his side, coming in and out of consciousness. His good eye, his only eye now, was almost swlloen shut but he tried hard to focus. Dimitra’s book was wet and ruined, tattered and scattered around his crumpled frame along with the sweet treats he had purchased her. In all this all he could think about was getting to her. He tried to choke out a raspy, “help!”

Dimitra stuttered to a stop upon hearing someone whimper not too far from where she stood. It sounded like someone calling for help... it also sounded like Dewey. She forced herself to take a step forward, and then another, and then one more. That was as far as she needed to go when she found a ruined book, a scattered bag of sweets, and then something so much worse.

She let out a mortified wail when she found Dewey curled up and covered in blood on the alley floor.

"Dewey!" She shrieked before scrambling over to him and falling to her knees. She was almost afraid to touch him, worried she'd hurt him even more, but she barely regarded her thoughts as she reached out to grab his shoulders. "Dewey! What happened? W-what happened to you?"

Dewey could barely see Dimitra but recognized her voice, her touch. He wasn’t really coherent, he kind of smiled but it faltered quickly.

“I- Im sorry, I got beat up, im sorry.” Dewey rasped.

Dimitra felt her heart seize in her chest when she got a good look at Dewey's face and had to resist shrieking again in reaction. But she managed, though still frightened for him and frazzled, and shook her head quickly.

"D-don't be sorry, don't be sorry. Where's your phone?" She sputtered, as she fumbled about his person, patting his pockets and trying to find his phone. "W-we have to call Ace o-or an ambulance o-o-or my brothers. Someone. We have to call someone."

“Inside...pocket” He wheezed, a trembling hand reaching for his coat.

Dimitra pat where Dewey was trying to reach and fumbled to grab his phone. She could hardly make her hands work as she began trying to find Ace's number in Dewey's contacts. When she did, she hit the call button and put the phone to her ear while reaching to push back Dewey's hair from his face, trying to soothe him and herself at the same time.

“Hey son, are you with a Dimitra?” Ace answered reading the caller ID as Dewey.

"A-Ace! It's Dimitra! I found Dewey a-and he's been beat up really bad! H-he's bleeding a-and I think he's missing his eye!" Dimitra instantly began sputtering and sobbing as she spoke.

Ace felt his stomach drop. He knew Dewey has a knack for finding trouble, but a missing eye? He immediately shot up from his place on the couch, rushing out the door.

“Where are you?” He asked quickly.

“Some alley by the school. A-Ace, please hurry. Please.” Dimitra let out a little sob as she looked down at Dewey, her hand still in his face.

“I’m on my way. Call 911, stay with him please. I’ll have your parents meet us at the hospital.” Ace said hurriedly before hanging up. His car was parked out in the alley of his building, he slid in with ease but fumbled with his keys before peeling out.

Dimitra fumbled with Dewey’s phone, but was able to do as Ace instructed and called 911. Once she explained the situation and was assured someone was on their way, Dimitra set the phone phone down and moved to pull Dewey closer into her lap.

“You’re going to be fine. It’s going to be okay.” She sobbed and sniveled as she held Dewey.

Ace met them there, arriving about the same time as the paramedics. He nearly gagged and winced when he saw his son. How did this happen? Ace followed them to the hospital where Riley and Mityr were waiting. Riley liked Dewey, she watched him grow up beside her youngest, but she hated that it was Dimitra who had to find him this way.

Dewey was rushed back into intensive care, Ace followed back but was stopped at the double doors; pacing anxiously outside.

Mityr immediately intercepted Dimitra when she arrived at the hospital with Ace and Dewey. He saw her hands, bloodied and shaking from having handled Dewey, and immediately took her aside to fuss over her hands with a handkerchief. He was never one for blood already and it get one hundred times worse seeing it on his littlest daughter’s hands.

“Myloshka, I’m sorry this has happened.” He crooned at her, though she didn’t immediately respond beyond a whimper and sniffle. He glanced up at Riley and then to Ace. He cleared his throat a bit and went back to his task. “Dewey’s a strong boy, he’s going to be just fine, I’m sure.” He said so both Ace and Dimitra could hear.

“Are you sure, Papa?” Dimitra sniveled.

“I’m so sure, my little one. Isn’t that right, Riley?” Mityr said.
