On December 26,1935 , a young boy name Michael Gallo was born in New York City in the Bronx in St. Barnabas
Hospital, his parents names were
Elizabeth and Alphonso.
His mom was a waitress at the river cafe and his dad was self employed; worked very well with whatever he can put his hands on.
The family was poor and barley made it through each month with rent and bills, it was very difficult for Alphonso to find a job because of having three felonies.
Everyday Alphonso tried looking for a job but get got tired of looking so he decided to start working on cars which he was really good with mechanic work.
He tried to make money before Michael comes out.
Ring ring "hello!"
Alphonso answered "hey honey!"
Elizabeth said.
As they were talking on the phone
She had asked him is Michael's room done getting painted.
"Yes His room is done but I barley made any money to buy a baby crib!"
Elizabeth got a little upset but understood the situation with money problem.
"Its okay baby, Michael can sleep in our bed but we have to
be careful so we don't roll on him"
Alphonso started feeling sorrow
While on the phone and told Elizabeth that he his sorry for not being a good man and not being able to support her and Michael.
She told him everything is going to be okay and that she will be home in a couple of days with Michael and that the house needs to be clean.
A few days past and Michaels mom came home with Michael in her arms, Alphonso rushed to the door to open it to let his wife in.
"Oh my gosh my son is so tiny and handsome" Alphonso said
Elizabeth put Michael down on the sofa and turned on the heater so Michael doesn't get sick from the cold weather outside.
The parents heard knocks on the door
It was the military people saying that Alphonso is getting drafted to the military
"No,no he is not going to the military,his son was barley born three weeks ago and he barely came home today and hasn't been here an hour!" As Elizabeth made a dramatic scene
"Sorry mam, but he has to serve his country" the master Sergeant Martinez told Elizabeth
The army had got Alphonso and took off with him as Elizabeth fell to the floor crying
Michael started whining
Because he was hungry,Elizabeth got up from the floor and sat on the sofa pulling out her boob to breast feed Michael.
The next day Elizabeth took Michael to her sister Linda's house so she can babysit Michael while she goes to work.
"Hey, sis can you watch Michael while I go to work?" Linda said yes.
After Elizabeth left the house, on her way to work, she called the military so she could talk to Alphonso but they didn't let her talk because he was in boot camp training at the moment.
She got distress and started tearing up; she arrived at work got off the car and went inside, her boss Andy was looking at her with red and watery eyes.
"What's wrong Elizabeth?" He knew something was wrong because she was his best waitress and never comes into work like that.
"I barley had a son and his father didn't get to spend one hour with his son because of the military came and took him away from us!"
"Damn, them damn bastards,they have no hearts!" As Andy said
Elizabeth walked off and clocked into work.
A customer walks on the restaurant
"Welcome to the river cafe!" Said Elizabeth with an upset tone
"Mam why are you upset!"
The stranger asked
"Its none of your damn business so keep your concerns to yourself!"
Elizabeth got upset and walked off to the restroom crying.
Andy seen her and he approach her.
"You should go home Elizabeth,your not feeling good!"
She got her stuff and left work
As soon as she got home remember that Michael was at her sister Linda's house but she was too tired to go get him and dazed off on the couch without eating dinner.
The very next Elizabeth went to go check the mail and saw bills and rent, she knew she couldn't afford the twenty dollar rent and bills.
The look on her face was troubled
and her mind was surprised
She didn't know what to do anymore.
Ring ring here come a call "hello!" She answered it was her boss.
"Are you feeling well to work today?"
She told him yes
Elizabeth showed up to work
Next thing you know she thought about Michael and all the money she has to pay in order to keep the house, so she started taking little money from the cashiers drawer and stocking the boss to see if she can get the code to the safe.
After following the boss around, she found out the code to the safe.
When it was time to get off Andy finds out the cashiers drawer is short.
"Damn why is this drawer short five hundred dollars?" He yelled out who took money. Everyone shook their heads. Elizabeth looked at Andy with a surprise look but walked off slowly. Andy knew it was her but didn't mind stealing some money the first time because he knew what she was going through. When Elizabeth left work she went to get Michael from her sister's house.
She felt relief once she got Michael.
"He can eat so much for an two month old baby" Linda loudly said
Elizabeth laughed out loud kissing on Michaels cheeks.
"Do you mind watching him again tonight because I have something to do?" Linda said she was tired but she will watch him again.
After the visit Elizabeth left and went back to her job at one in the morning.
She parked two streets down from her job; she got out the car walked slowly and quietly to the back of the building where she could sneak through the back door.
"Bam" she kicked the door in as she went running to the safe.
Quickly as she was putting in the code in.
"Damn that's a lot of cash!" As she said after the safe open.
She took over fourteen hundred dollars.
