There were very few times in his life where he would admit to being horrified by something. Usually when Riley had an experience he dealt with it appropriately and then moved on from it with the exception of a rare occasion or two which linger on.
The morning of August sixth was one of those rare occasions that Riley would experience and probably never forget. Few times in his life had he come upon a situation he didn’t know how to handle - the death of his mother had been a large milestone - but fortunately he had support at home.
It had started like any other morning - breakfast, coffee, get dressed, be silly with Finn. And then head off to work to prepare for the school year to once more begin. The teachers tended to their classrooms, petitioned for supplies, but it took a while to get what they needed so the earlier this could be done the better.
That had been the goal, at least. But Riley didn’t make it to work, or at least to the classroom. The sprawled, murdered form of the discarded guard blocking the entryway to the Marketplace was enough to make him spin around on his heels and high tail it back to the apartment. Nobody was allowed in or out of the crime scene, and after seeing what he had he figured a day off was welcomed.
Frowning, he pushed his way back into the apartment. A lot was going through his mind and the usual sunny disposition had faded away into something more serious. With a click the door behind him closed and Riley leaned backward against it, still wearing his shoulder bag and shoes, dressed for work. Eyes would fall to the ground and he didn’t realize he was crying until the droplets began to bead up on the tops of his shoes.
