He walked into the lodging house greeted by hellos and smiles.

"Mornin' Race. Drink some water today bud." Davey smiled.

"Here, Specs, my mom made you a sandwich" Davey said giving Specs a sandwich.

Crutchie walked over to Davey and went to say something.

"I know it's going to rain already, make sure you and the younger boys get back here before it does" Davey smiled.

Finch was about to jump from bed to bed as he did to 'fly'

"Finch! No! It's too early for flying!" Davey said looking a Finch with his eyebrow raised.

Les began to ran off.

"Les get back here."

Romeo was getting ready for the morning bell to ring to go out selling.

"Romeo, no flirting with people unless it's so sell papes, until you're done sellin' papes." Davey said using a little mom voice.

Buttons was about to leave.

"Buttons, stop." Davey walked over and tied the shoe lace to his shoe. "Remember to get someone to tie it or you'll hurt yourself"

Davey finally reached Jack and gave him a hug.

The morning bell rang. They all left.
