Kendrick could not help but smile at his words, "You sound like Lucas..." he told him softly. "I will try...I cannot change who I am overnight. And I do still own a business, where I am the boss."

Rory returned that smile and eased somewhat. "That's fine, Kendrick," he soothed somewhat, patting the male's arm lightly. "Just don't make run your home like your business, alright?" With a pointed looked, Rory eased back behind the counter to go and check on the cake in the oven.

Kendrick nodded, "Ask Lucas...I do not run my home as I do my business...Lucas would not like that."

"Then don't try to run me like you've been trying to do," Rory replied, taking his cake from the oven and putting it on the cooling rack. "How is Lucas, anyways? He wasn't too upset about yesterday, right?"

"He made me take him to a kid friendly restaurant...he won this big teddy bear..." he admitted softly. "Do you think we could go to dinner tonight?"

Rory laughed, delighted that Lucas had Kendrick wrapped around his little finger. "Did he now? Well, since you asked so nicely, yes, dinner tonight would be fantastic. Would Lucas like to come?" He asked as he puttered about the kitchen area, cleaning up his messes and making sure all the dishes were washed.

Kendrick leaned on the counter just content to watch him. "I thought maybe we could all go to lunch together...then just us for dinner. I have a great babysitter, I don't use him much, but he always likes to watch Lucas, and he has a kit around Lucas's age so it works out."

"Oh, that sounds good," Rory agreed, not wanting Lucas to be feeling left out of anything. As he chattered at Kendrick, he realized that he was relaxing a bit around the male not that Kendrick wasn't bossing him around. Rory still wasn't sure if he should be freaked out or not, but he didn't think too deeply on it as he brought Kendrick over a yellow looking cookie.
"Will you try this? It's something new and I haven't subjected any to it yet. It's lemon," Rory said with a smile.

Kendrick loved watching Rory cook, he was entranced. When he was brought the cookie he looked at it curious, "Lemon..." he whispered. "Thats my favorite..." he admitted then took a bite. "Mmm...this is good..." He moved closer to the kitchen peering at the mess, "Could you should me how to cook something?" No sooner then he said that did his phone ring, "I guess another time...that is my asstant, probably telling me I need to get to work."

Rory laughed, delighted. "Go and get to work Kendrick. Another time, I promise." Smiling, Rory shooed the Ken from the kitchen and walked him to the elevator. "Have a good day ruling the world, okay?" This side of Kendrick was really growing on him. If Ken was like this all the time, Rory would be more than happy.

Kendrick called him a few minutes before lunch. "Rory?" He asked panicked. "Someone hit the daycare...and they said a childs injured...and they won't tell me who and they will not let me down there. Please....please call your friend and see who it was...please Rory...please....I'm scared..."

"Hit the daycare?" Rory asked in alarm. "But Lucas...Meet me down there in five minutes. Will see who lets who in those assholes. I'll call Euri right now. It's okay Kendrick, don't worry." Rory clicked off his phone and packed up his things, racing out to the stairs. He dialed Euri in the process, but the male didn't pick up. Growling under his breath, Rory made it to the daycare on the bottom floor in record time.
He was shocked to find the ZPD mulling around, documenting and what not. Rory tried to pass but they halted him, at least until he started screaming for his kit. He wasn't sure where Kendrick was, but he made a big enough stink that he was able to wiggle in, meeting a frantic Euri in the process. What in the hells had happened?

Kendrick was there quickly, pacing frightened, many workers were shocked to see the emotion on the males face. He watched Rory wiggle in and moved forward trying to get in as well, but he as stopped, no one would let him in still. He paced trying to see Lucas through all the mess, listening for his voice, and panicking when he could not see or hear him.

Mere moments later, Rory appeared again with a crying Lucas in his arms. He was shushing and kissing the little kit snuggling him close. Lucas only had a little scratch on his cheek and was not the child who had be really hurt. Euri had already called that kit's parents and was taking care of them as Rory left.
"See look, you're Uncle Kenny's here," Rory murmured to Lucas as he made his way to Kendrick. "He's was so worried about you. Don't you want to be a big boy and show him not even a bad man can frighten you?"

Lucas curled close to Rory trying to slow his tears at his words. He reached for Kendrick once they got closer and soon was snuggled in his arms, "I'm ok Uncle Kenny, don't worry," he told him softly.
Kendrick held Lucas close, he did not know what he would have done if he lost him. "I was so scared," he whispered. "Thank you Rory..."
