   Summary

   Blonde Blazer gets a call late at night that a child saved from a potential kidnapping situation could very well be SDN's newest Dispatcher.

   A few secrets come out, and suddenly everything is a lot more complicated as Robert becomes the centre of the weirdest game of capture the flag.
   With him as the flag.

   (Robert is de-aged to the last time he felt safe, which is at 11. Inspired by @killershark82 on Tumblr)
