I finally figured out how to install my old HP PSC 1310 onto my Vista computer (I had help, though). And I was dissapointed that the Photosmart Essentials didn't compare to the old ImageZone I had on my IBM that ran Windows XP. I was, however, able to make similar editions with the InfranViewer app.
Here, Erin Derringer (one of my characters from the Demon Child), consoles a newly found orphaned child she names Koji. As an apprentice of the Hanyo Defense Organization, she was on a training mission. However, due to her recklessness, she became romantically involved with a Japanese immigrant. After one night of passion, she became pregnant. Her asian consort, however, was caught in the crossfire as part of her mission was reconnaissance. Her cover was blown, and she had to make a hasty retreat. When she reported back, she was reprimanded for allowing herself to be distracted by having a romantic affair.
Her pregnancy didn't remain a secret for long. As she endured disciplinary suspension, she witnessed someone being mugged. Despite the fact she was pregnant, she recklessly rushed in to assist. She fought savagely to defend the helpless victim. Unfortunately, a stray kick from the mugger caught her in the abdomen. Blood spattered within her jeans. Fearing the worst, she pleaded to be rushed to the hospital.
2 weeks after her miscarriage, she went AWOL. She drunkenly stumbled through the alleys of San Francisco, mourning the loss of her unborn child. As she was about to curse God, a light appeared above her head. From the disturbance, a small body dropped through, into a dumpster. As the light storm subsided, she slowly stumbled to the dumpster to investigate. Inside was a filth-covered child. Not trusting her senses, she reached inside to feel for the child's face.
Still holding on to the funds from her employers, she checked into a hotel to clean up the young child. As she bathed him (and herself to wash off the filth), the child awakens. At first, he lashes out like a wild animal; clawing and kicking, biting, screaming and growling. Erin struggled to wrestle the little boy down. The child instinctively sank his small fangs into her arm as she tried to hold him down. The struggle came to an end as she turned the child within her arms, placing his face into her bosom. The child's fight turned into sobbing; his thrashing slowed into trembling. Erin held on tightly as she realized that the child was merely frightened. She whispered calmly into his pointed ears; shushing and gently rocking him. As she was sobering up, she thought she heard the child say 'haha.' She knew it was Japanese for mother.
Her scent was enough to calm the frightened Hanyo down. Knowing what little Japanese she could use, she spoke to him, saying that he was safe and that she would not hurt him. She kept on asking for his name, but he never answered. Erin took it upon herself to name the child: Koji.
As she reclined against the stack of pillows at the head of the bed, she brought up her thick, silky thighs to sit the child down to examine him. But Koji was far too exhausted to sit up straight; he collapsed onto her chest. Oddly enough, there was a plush wolf sitting near the foot of the bed. She pulled it forward for the child; hoping he would interact with it as he came to in the hours to come.
She then looked at the pendant that the child was wearing around his neck. The small, golden object bore the crest of the Oda. She suspected the child to belong to the Oda family.
She knew she would have to report back to the agency and face further disciplinary actions, but the new gift of life was worth it. The agency agreed to Erin's request to adopt the orphan.
