Hi Ma. [2/2]

'This must be what Bella and the others felt when I asked them. It is only among those we consider precious that we wish to be seen as good people.'

"I'm fine, Mrs. Simmons. I've made a lot of friends and I'm making a boatload of money at my new job."

"Oh? And what exactly do you do at this new job?"

"Um. Pest control. I exterminate bugs from rich people's houses."

"Hmm... I guess as long as you are not selling drugs or your body, that is okay."

"Haha, I wouldn't do that Mrs. Simmons."

As we chatted, a fast blur ran out of the house and tackled me.

"JOHNNY! YOU'RE BACK!"

"Hi Alana, just for a little while, have you been good?"

"I am now that you're here! Come on in!"

With Earl and Noelle taking care of me, I practically grew up with Alana and her sister Bless. Like any good brother, I stepped up and beat the shit out of anyone who bullied them.
