Lee finished unpacking all of his things into his new house. He had moved into a new house and neighborhood because of what had happened between his wife and the senator. Also his long time friend Kenny had convinced him to move to his neighborhood because there was a house for rent across the street and Lee had said yes. After he had unpacked everything and settled to his new house. Lee decided to watch the news. While he was watching the news he got a phone call from his friend Kenny. "Hey Kenny. What's going on?" Lee said. "Hey pal, I was wondering if you would love to come to dinner in 2 hours at my house?" Kenny said hoping Lee would say yes. "Yeah sure. I'll see you at 7 Kenny." "Okay Lee." They said their goodbyes and hung up. After he finished his phone call with Kenny. Lee went back to watching the news. "Two parents Ed and Diana Marsh had died in the Marsh House hotel." Said one of the reporters. "Daughter Clementine Marsh was able to witness everything. The police have decided to send Clementine to an orphanage in Macon, Georgia." Lee was interested in what had happened to Clementine and her parents. Lee didn't even realized what time it was. He read his clock and it read 5:40pm. "I'd better start to get ready so I can go to Kenny's house at 7." Lee thought to himself. He took a shower and got ready. When he got fully ready he read is clock and it read 6:20pm. Lee decided that he would start to go to Kenny's house at 6:55 giving him 5 minutes to walk across the street and knock on his door. For the time he had he watched the rest of the news. "What if I adopt Clementine? She's broken like me and she's in that orphanage down town. Why don't I adopt?" He thought to himself. The clock hit 6:55 and Lee had left his house and walked across the street to Kenny's house. He knocked and Katjaa had answered "Hey Lee." Katjaa said with a smile "Hey Katjaa." Lee said with a smile in return. Katjaa stepped aside so Lee can walk in and when he walked in he was greeted by Kenny. "Hey pal." Kenny said "Hey Kenny." Lee said back. Then he was greeted by Duck "Hey Lee!" Duck said with excitement in him. "Hey Duck." Lee said with a smile. They had dinner and Kenny started a conversation "So Lee how are you doing?" Kenny said looking at him across the table. "I'm doing good. I'd like to ask you all something. "What is it Lee?" Katjaa said "What woudl you guys say if I adopt?" Lee said with a concerned look in his face. "I'd say you would be a great dad." Kenny said with a smile. "I agree with Kenny you would be a great dad. You're so good with Duck and he seems to look up to you a lot. So go ahead and adopt." Katjaa said with a smile. "It's because I want to adopt that girl Clementine." "The one from the news?" Lee nodded. "Why her?" Katjaa said "Because she's broken like me. I'd love to be her father so I can hug her and tell her everything will be okay." Lee said. "I'd think you should Lee. Katjaa and I do think you will be a great dad." Kenny said. "Thanks guys I appreciate it." Lee said. "Well I guess I should be going now. Bye guys." They said their goodbyes and Lee left. As he crossed the street he walked in home with a smile on his face.
