"Charley! You're back!"

Margaret Louise Dempsey ran into her older sister's arms.

"Yeah, I'm back! Where do you think I went? Paris?"

"Well, you've been gone since dawn. You're usually back by sundown. We thought the coppers had got you or something," Ben said, emerging from the shadows.

"Well, I had a close call with the filth down on Cleveland Street, but they couldn't out run the Charley "Charger" Dempsey, now could they?" Ben laughed, "Let's go, I've got a surprise for you."

The three siblings made their way down a set of worn steps into a dark grotto between two buildings. Pulling back the cotton tarp, Charley let Ben and Maggie get in first before she pinned the corners down for the night. As she made her way into their home, she reached around for the candle holder and the silver lighter she nicked a few months ago. Finding them she lit the candle and started a little fire in the pit in the center of the room.

She grabbed her knapsack and pulled out the stale loaf of bread and the hunk of cheese the pinched from the grocer's that afternoon. She broke the bread in half, saving one half for later and continued to pull the other into five pieces, one for each Dempsey. As her siblings' eyes spotted the feast in front of them, they stood stock-still, gobsmacked that their sister had gotten all this food for them.

"Charley, where on earth did you get these?" Ben asked.

"The bakery on Drury. I almost snagged a couple of humbugs for us, but the shop keeper was too close. So how's Gideon doing? He still running a fever?"

Matilda came into the room through the tarp on the other side of the "house". Her face was dirty and sad.

"He's getting warmer and he can't sleep. He's been thrashing about every time he drifts off. Like he's hallucinating or something."

Charley's brow furrowed as she rubbed the dirt off her nose. She gave out the meals; a piece to Ben, a piece to Mattie, a piece to Maggie, and two pieces for Gideon, she would go hungry for the night. The three siblings huddled near the fire to eat their meal while Charley went back to check on the ill.

Peering into the dark of the makeshift sick ward, Charley could make out the figure of her little brother's coughing and shivering body. She sat on the ground next to him and wrapped him in her arms like their mother used to do. "There now, Gideon, I'm back, nuttin's gonna happen to yeh." She rocked his small form back in forth as she muttered soothing words. When he was conscious enough, Charley started breaking off little chunks of bread and feeding him, piece by piece. Finally, the bread was gone and Gideon had drifted off into a deep sleep. Charley herself was about to collapse from exhaustion, spending the majority of her day running and swiping anything she could to sell on the street corners. As her eyes were close to shutting, Mattie came in to check on them. She saw that Gideon was asleep and quietly backed into the main room. They needed all the rest they could get; tomorrow they were to find a doctor for almost no money…
