Being a Gallgher isn't easy, especially not for Ian's twin Alyssa Gallagher who lives on the southside with her many sibling and alcoholic father who drops in and out whenever he pleases.
Then there's the emotionless asshole who Alyssa just can't s...

Lip was sitting in the armchair, a map on the coffee table in front of him, he made up a plan. Let's just hope it works.
Carl was up first.
"You know that payphone that's outside of Kash and Grab?" Lip asked Carl who was sitting on the coffee table. He nodded, "Yeah."
"Get on your bike, go to the payphone and call the police. Tell them that you saw a little boy walking down Southport Avenue at 2:45, okay?" Lip used a sharpie to mark something on the map. "Why should I?" Carl shrugged.
I looked at him, "You wanna be in a children's home till you're 18?" Carl turned to look at me, his expression blank, "Group home on Union has a climbing wall."
"Carl!" I warned.
"Ugh, I don't have a bike," He said turning back to Lip. Ian put a hand on his shoulder, "Wire cutter's in the drawer."
Fiona and Steve were next.
Lip moved over to them, "Steve, Fiona. You guys have to get Debs to take the kid back." Fiona scratched the back of her neck, "I don't know if I can make that happen..."
"You have to or we're all fucked," Lip stated, Fiona nodded, "Okay."
Then it was my turn.
Lip sat next to me, drawing lines on the map. "Right, Alyssa. Go to the cleaners and ask Mrs Bergdoll to use the phone." I groaned, "The hag's a cold bitch...there's no way she'll - -"
Lip cut me off, "I've got something for that. Don't worry."
Lip explained that he planned to go to Connie's pizza and break the phone because Debbie is going to tell the cops that she couldn't phone as it was broken.
Veronica was to put the boy in a superman costume because Debbie changed him earlier.
Lip finally went to Kevin.
"Kev, what time do you go into work today?" Lip asked him. "Uh... I go in at 6." Lip nodded, "You're going in early. I want you to go in and tell them you saw a little boy in a superman costume walking down Grande Avenue."
And then it was time for the plan to go into action.

I reached the cleaners with the green bud Lip had given me for Mrs Bergdoll. I walked in, she was standing behind the counter. "Hey, Mrs B. Can I use your phone real quick?" Her face was cold as I walked towards her, "I have some green bud for your glaucoma," I smiled.
I handed it over and she gave me her phone, I distanced myself from her to make the call. I dialled 911 and they picked up in no time.
"I saw a little boy with a superman suit walking down Grande Avenue," I said, putting on my best fake nice voice.
