I answer my phone and I her a women's voice "hello is this the young man that works at the shop on Mansfield" I tell her yes and she says "well I am Tara you saved my daughter last night I want to thank u do u mind if we come by the shop" I answer "no not at all" she hangs up and I start my day I eat, I shower I get dressed and I walk out grab my bike and make my way to the shop I take my normal route I ride for a little while and I see a man selling fruit on the corner just before my parents shop. he looked old and tired like he had not slept in days and as I get ready to leave I see a small boy walk up he looks just as tired and raged as the man I think nothing of it till I hear the boy say "daddy I'm hungry" I stop dead and look back and listen.

Father: "I'm sorry son but we need to sell these"

Boy: "please daddy"

At this I hope off my bike and walk over to the man. He looks at me and says "what would u like son" I look and see the man is not old just beaten and worn and I say "nothing actually your son looks a bit hungry my folks own the shop just up the roed and I think he could use some food " the man looks at me like I was crazy.
I reach in my pocket to grab some money and I hear her voice as y hand touchs the knife" play now play now" I scream "no no no" in my mind and look up at the man who had gone white as a sheep he grabs his son and Push's him back "you've seen the girl haven't u"
I look at the man shocked but I say "I don't know what you mean sir" as I go to pull the money out the man shoves his son back and grabs my wrist a look of horror on his face he slowly pulls my hand out of my pocket and sighs as he sees the money" sorry lad can't be to safe out here he says in a unconvincing tone . I look at him and say "its alright I understand" I lie and hand him the money he trys to hand me some fruit but as he dose he whispers "get rid of her before its to late" I look at him and smile and whisper "thank u sir if your son wasn't here I would ask more but I'll settle for that " I look over at the boy and say "if you or your dad ever need anything u can come to my shop just down the street I'll make sure u get anything u need " I smile and the walk away with my bike as the man watch's me closely and I get to the shop
