The rain was pouring down over the city known as London. Jennifer Flint was going out for some shopping in the little food store ten minutes from home. Madame Vastra was out somewhere in the city to get her own food, and Strax well he's on holyday in Glasgow (again) but he will come back on Monday.
Jennifer turned right into a little alley. A poor boy sat there. His hair was light brown and he was very skinny. She had seen that boy many times before sitting right there looking dirty, hungry and cold, but he had a younger sister, what happened to her?
Never mind no one cares about the poor ones, so why should she?
But Jennifer isn't like anyone else and so do care about people so she gave the boy some money.
"Thank you!" said the boy in a low, tired voice and give her a little smile. She can't help herself from smiling back to the boy. Jennifer turns away and walks the last meters to the shop. She buys all the food they need and then goes the same way back home.
She passes the boy but then she turns around.
"Would you like to go to my place, so you can get food and some new clothes?" Jennifer asks the boy. He nodded and smiled at the thought of the warmth inside and of real, food and not the one he finds in others garbage. He stood up and took the strangers hand and they started walking in the cold rain.
"My name is Jennifer, what's your name?" she asked the boy.
"My name is Master junior, but I prefer the name Rick" he answered quietly.
And there where they walking together in the pouring rain, on their way to a place called home.
