Angel was out back behind taco bell, dumpster diving for dinner as usual. This was normal for her, she rummaged through dumpsters all the time for food, she would get sick often though. Due to the rotten food she consumed, but it was better then starving in her eyes. Her first few days on the streets, she just didn’t eat, and she would pass out from the hunger. So, she swallowed her pride and started spending meals behind restaurants in dumpsters. She was dirty, scraped and scuffed up. She didn’t smell too bad though; she would go to public places with bathrooms and wash up in there the best she could. Truly it was fairly efficient, not as effective as a real shower or bath, but it was better then being full on filthy all the time.

Her eyes were wide, curious with dark circles under them from sleepless nights and days. Due to her paranoia and anxiety, she would get nervous and fearful of sleeping, especially at night when she is vulnerable and the creatures of the night come out to play. Her hands, arms, and legs were scratched and cut from jumping and crawling under fences and getting cut. Her clothes were torn, what was left of them. It was a sad picture, she used to be pretty.

Darrin pulled up behind Taco Bell into one of the few parking spots they kept a few parking spaces. He had some Tickle Me Pink blaring in his father's beat up Gremlin. He'd parked, leaving his music on, and reached over to the dashboard compartment to pull out his pill box. He popped open his 'Monday' compartment and dropped out his medicine for the day before quickly dry swallowing it and tossing the box away. After taking the pills, he promptly turned off the car and stepped out.

He was just about to make his way into the restaurant when he paused upon hearing some shuffling in the dumpster area. He cocked a brow and glanced over.

"Hello?" He called out.

Angel paused upon hearing someone speak; she froze instantly, like a deer in the headlights. Angel hadn’t even had human contact in God knows how long, her voice was hoarse and weak from lack of communication and speaking, she avoided people like they all had the plague. This time would be no different, she stayed still and quiet in hopes that the person would shrug off her shuffling noises and walk of without a second though.

"Is someone there?" Darrin asked as he approached the trash bin. Of course there was the chance it was an animal or maybe even nothing, but still he felt compelled to investigate.

Angel was skittish, but that was putting it mildly, she was down right afraid of people at this point in her life. She whimpered but bit her lip to keep calm and keep from making any more noise.

‘I just have to wait…’ She thought.

Darrin heard the whimper and furrowed his brows, more concerned than before and quickened his pace over to the dumpster area.

"Are you alright? Do you need help?" He asked, going around, peaking about to find no one until he side glanced inside the bin. He quickly scurried over to the edge, offering a hand in. "What happened? Are you okay?" He asked.

Angel whimpered and shook her head furiously; crawling back into the garbage and winced her eyes shut as though expecting the worst even though someone was offering help. What scared her more than verbal interaction with another human being, was physical contact.

"Hey, c'mon, I'm not going to do anything, I just want to know if you're okay." Darrin said, making a face as he picked up on the girl's panic. She looked like she'd been dragged through hell and back and in by the the cat. Complete catastrophe. "Look, if you need to, I can take you to a hospital."

Angel blinked her eyes open slightly, already slightly glazed over with fear. But despite her appearance her eyes were beautiful, wide with long lashes and a slight glow to them. She clung to her torn and dirty shirt and looked at him with fear and disbelief. Something had been done to her so detrimental that she couldn’t trust a kind stranger.

“N-no…” She choked, her voice weak and weary.

"Are you sure? You don't look so good..." Darrin said, then taking note of hre clothing situation. "Hold on, one second." He said, hurrying back over to the car. He opened up the door to the back seat and shuffled about the laundry he'd done earlier that day at the laundromat. He pulled out a thin looking plaid long-sleeve and a black hoodie, hurrying back over to the dumpster to only offer the clothes to the girl. He unbuttoned the shirt and moved to try and drape that at least over her shoulders.

Angel at first flinched away, wincing again as though waiting to be yanked up or something along those lines. But when the item of clothing was draped over her she blinked her eyes open and looked up at the man still with disbelief. She grabbed at the shirt and looked down at it then furrowed her brows and returned her gaze to the boy.

“I-…I can’t…” She tried to speak but her voice cracked. “Take this-.” She tried to finish.

"You're not taking it, you're simply borrowing until further notice, now why don't you come out of there? It can't be pleasant, Taco Bell garbage juice and everything." Darrin said with a slight smile and a nod as he offered a hand back out to Angel.

“I-I-I…” Angel swallowed and sputtered, not sure what to do. She was afraid still, but usually anybody with ill intentions would’ve advanced by now if not long ago.

"C'mon, I ain't gonna hurt you, scouts honor." Darrin said, flashing the Boy's Scouts sign before re-extending his arm.
