"It's our crib." Carl scoffed "not anymore." Fiona sighed "says who?" Carl asked

"State of Illinois." Kai replied carrying a box "They can't just take it from us." Carl frowned

"I don't have time to explain foreclosure law to you." Fiona muttered giving a plate of food to Liam.

"Those are the stairs where I broke my arm for the first time." Carl frowned " and the second and the fifth I was there all five times. Caused two of them." Kai smiled remembering the memories. 

"This table is where Liam was born." Carl added causing Nick to look at the table slightly disgusted before going back to eating

"there's nothing we can do." Fiona frowned "can you keep it down in there?"

"Copper pipes aren't gonna take out themselves." Frank muttered pulling out the toilet.  "while Rome burns, you eat waffles."

"You gonna take apart the place, piece by piece?" Ian asked

"Scorched earth. The preferred method of defeated generals who refuse to allow their conquerors the satisfaction." Frank explained

"Of taking a dump?" Carl asked "Coppers two bucks a pound. Look, we don't have the luxury to sit around and get weepy. We need a place to live." Fiona sighed

"Let's see them try to get Nick and I out." Carl stated "We'll take position up at the upstairs window with M16s."

"Carl." Fiona scowled "Throw Liam at the bottom of the stairs with some grenades." Carl continued turning to his little brother "think you can pull a pin and throw it."

"Strap Chuckie up with some explosives and throw him off the roof."

"Do any of that and they'll try you as an adult that's big boy prison." Fiona smiled

"Look the house is gone it's over. We need to move on."

"This is all cause of the mud people." Chuckie glared pointing at Nick

"What the fuck?" Kai asked in slight shock. "God I should've tried to kill you instead of your mom."

"Chuckie if you wanna stay alive shut up and go to school." Ian demanded the boy only frowned and walked away.

"Whatever I can get you money." Kai announced "terry keeps some money under his mattress." 

"I'll go with you." Carl mumbled following after the girl

"Stay." Kai demanded her tone changing which didn't go unnoticed by Carl. Kai stared at Carl worried if her father was home even more worried if he was really drunk

"I'll stay outside." Carl suggested raising an eyebrow.  "all right." Kai sighed as they walked to the Milkovich house.

"Can't believe they actually let him out." Carl admitted "can't keep a milkovich in jail for their full sentence." Kai shrugged before looking at the Milkovich house.
