"I'll call you Astra, it seems like a much better name than 'scum'." He muttered loudly, driving off at a slow pace, seeing Astra terrified. The srive took about thirty minutes, considering that there was traffic. He parked right in front of the building, hopping out of his truck." You're welcome to follow me inside if you'll like." He shouted after Astra, walking inside the huge building. A Secretary walked up to him." Mr. Crunch, we're expecting you, please follow me." She briskly walked towards the elevator, leavong no time for Earl to say anything.

Astra panicked, being left alone. The car seemed large and ominous, and she did not like it. The little red head, or muck covered red head, scurried after Earl, cradling her bread. The building freaked her out too, so the child stayed close to Earl. She reached her hand out, moving towards his hand. Astra hesitated, looking at how much dirt covered it. Finally, hearing the elevator ding, the little hand shot into the man's much larger one as Astra clutched it tightly. She remembered it being a sign of trust, something she had seen other kids do with their companions. Her own mother had even done the same with her.
Bad Scum! No thinking about that!
Astra chided herself, a deep frown etched into her face.
