“He’s not a juvenile delinquent, Dee,” Ryo insisted, wondering why it mattered so much to him that he got his new work partner’s approval concerning becoming Bikky Goldman’s foster father. “He’s a ten-year-old kid who just lost the only family he had left.”
“Okay, maybe he’s not officially a delinquent yet, but it’s only a matter of time. His dad was murdered for stealin’ some of his drug-dealin’ employer’s merchandise, in case you’ve forgotten,” Dee pointed out. “That’s not the best pedigree.”
“I’m not denying that Bikky hasn’t had the best role models so far, but that’s all the more reason for me to take him in. He’s young enough to learn not to make the same mistakes his dad did. He just needs someone to be there for him and teach him right from wrong, someone to help him make better decisions, and who better than a cop?”
“You really think you can keep him out of trouble?” Dee sounded dubious and Ryo couldn’t help but laugh.
“Not entirely, a lot of kids are trouble magnets, but do I think I can give him a better chance at a good life than he’d get in the foster care system? Yes! I can give him individual attention and teach him by example. Right now he’s scared, angry, and hurting, but there’s a good kid under all the attitude. All he needs is discipline and a whole lot of love. I can give him both.”
Dee gave a crooked grin. “Yeah, maybe you can at that. Look, you don’t need my approval, you’re gonna do whatever ya need to, just don’t be too soft on him. You let a street punk like that get away with anything, he’ll walk all over ya.”
“I know what I’m doing, Dee.”
“Guess we’ll see.”
