Cole's p.o.v

A hand shaking me has me looking at Garmadon. Groaning, I sit up, streaching. Grabbing some clothes, I change into an old pair of ripped up pants and a sleeveless shirt. I follow Garmadon to the dinning room, a plate of hot food there. "Eat up, then I'll show what needs done." He says sitting down. I sit, eatting the hot food.

I'm shocked at how hungry I was, I ate three helpings, Garmadon smiling. "Done." He asked. I nod, Garmadon stands, motioning me to follow.

To do list:

* The dojo to be cleaned and straightened up.
* The cargo hold to be cleaned and cataloged.
* Weapons to be sharpened, cleaned and polished.
* Kitchen cleaned and suppliesto be cataloged.
* Each of the ninjas room to be cleaned and straightened up.
* Lastly, Wu's and Garmadon's room to be cleaned

I sigh but this is my punishment. Taking the list I made, I set out. Around noon, I'm in Kai's room, sweeping the floor. It's the last thing to do before I move to do the weapons. Garmadon didn't say what order to do them in, well the last thing on the list I have to do last. Getting the dirt up, I head to the kitchen.

Washing the dirty dishes from this morning, I rinse and dry them. Putting a plate up in the cabinet, it slips, breaking as it hits the floor. Footsteps sound, Jay rounds the corner. I wave hem off as Jay gets water bottles for everyone. Picking the big pieces up, I sweep the rest. Getting an inventory of the kitchen supplies, I put it under Garmadon's napkin. The weapons are next.

An hour and a half later, I put the last sword back. Now, I have to do Wu's room. Going, the sun coming from the curtains blind me. Putting my glasses on, I set about cleaning. Done an hour later, I go to Garmadon's room. Same with the sun but worse. I have to put my mask on along with my hat and arm covers. Getting the dirt up, a light knock as me looking at Wu. "Zane made lunch if you want it, you can finish after you eat." Wu says. "I'm actually (clears throat) done with (clears throat again) with everything." I say.

Following Wu into the dinning room, the gang there. Helping Zane put the food out, I see Garmadon reading the slips of paper I lift for hem. He catches me eye, nodding in thanks, I dip my head. After lunch, the guys go back outside to train. I watch in a shaded area of the door frame. Leaning against the door, a tap on the shoulder, I look at Garmadon.

"If I gave you the money, could you get the supplies we need." He asked. I nod, going to change. Deciding to keep my shirt on, I pull the black arm covers I have. Grabbing my hat and glasses from the coffee table, I meet Garmadon at the door. Getting the list and bag of money, I head out.

Arm sleeves

Design of bandana

Sun glasses

Walking down Ninjago streets, I get many looks. I look like I'm about to rob a bank. Coming into the store, I to move my hat and pull my shades up, pulling the bandana down. Grabbing a carrier, I begin to get the things we need. Coming down an allie, a little kid is crying. "Hey little guy, where's your parents." I ask, kneeling. He's crying too hard to answer and he throws themself onto me, just crying his heart out. I rub his back to calm hem down and wrip his eyes.

He sniffles, I wrip his nose. "Where's mom and dad at." I say. He moves his hands, I realize he's deaf. 'Where's mom and dad." I sign. 'I don't know, they were with me but now they're gone, can you help me, mister.' He says. I stand, holding out a hand, he takes it. I tell hem my name and he says that his is Caleb. Coming to costumer service, the guard looks at the camera's to see if the parents are still here. They left Caleb here, no remorse or anything. I call Marcus to track the van down while Caleb eats some crackers the guard gave hem.

Later, I'm walking back to the Bounty with Caleb in tow. It was decided that he would be put in my care till the family was found. Coming in, no one's around so I set about putting the stuff up. Caleb is helping when I hear the others as they come in. "Did y'all hear about the kid that was left at the store. The parents just up and left hem." I hear Jay. The chairs are moved out. "Wonder if Cole is back yet, it's his turn to cook." Lloyd asks. "It'll be ready in five." I call out. "When you get back." Zane calls back. "An hour ago." I say. Finishing the chicken bog, I set the plates out. Caleb grabs them, carrying them as we head to the dinning room. The guys are shocked to see Caleb, even more when I sit down, he sits beside me.

"Hey, little man." Nya says. Caleb looks to me, I translate. It dawns on the others Caleb's deaf. "Remember the kid you were talking about coming in Jay." I say, placing some of the chicken bog on Caleb's plate. He nods in thanks, eating, he hums at the taste. The guys get plates and eat. "Holy crap, Cole. This is great, almost riviling Zane's cooking." Jay says. "Family recipe. Anyway, this little guy is that kid. It was decided, since I found hem, Caleb was put in my care til the parents are found. What we do know is Caleb has no one other than the two." I say, signing the whole while. Caleb nuzzles into my side when he finishes. "And if his parents aren't found." Garmadon asks. "I'll adopt hem, I'm not going to let Caleb go into the system. I almost did after mom died." I say. Garmadon and Wu nod in agreement. "Your punishment still stands." Garmadon said. Caleb yawns, I pick hem up, he wraps his arms around me. I head to my room.

Kai's p.o.v

Watching Cole feels me with pride. He acts like a father to Caleb already. Buzzing has me picking up Cole's phone, it's Marcus. "Hey Marcus." I say. 'Where would Cole be, it's about Caleb.' Marcus asks. Cole walks in, I hand his phone over. He puts it to his ear. "Yeah....really now.....well that's good....alright I'll be there tomorrow to sign. See you then." Cole hangs up. We all wait as Cole sits down. "Tomorrow, I become Caleb's legal guardian. The ones who had hem, were never his parents. They kiddnaped Caleb after slaughtering his entire family."

The rest of the day is spent in silence before Cole turns in for the night.
