Social Care chapter 14
Now we're doing well! Man, fourteen chapters. This is probably my second longest fanfic so far.
Benny: That's supposed to be an accomplishment?
Not really. But it is a good thing since I've been busy lately with home and life and everything else.
The kids decided to head to the amusement park so they went to talk to Mr. Connors about it. They were better off hitchhiking.
Mr. Connor said " So you all want to go to the amusement park?" before he sighed and looked around at the kids.
It's been a couple months since the Eds have arrived at PCC and they've adjusted well. They seem to have some positive influence on the other kids as well. Johnny's been more social and Ross has been speaking up, which is a surprise. Izzy's behavior has been excellent since the Eds have come. Her grades have been great, she's been acting better and she's been allowed on family visits more.
Mr. Connors thought " Remember, Bradley, they're just going to the amusement park. It's going to be fine." as he ran his left hand through his hair.
Mr. Connors continued " Alright, you can go to the amusement park. But not unsupervised. I'll take you." as the kids began groaning and muttering.
The kids left Mr. Connor's office and began to head to their bedrooms.
Eddy changed into his normal yellow polo and put his regular hoodie over it.
The three Eds grabbed cameras, clothes and things to entertain them on the ride in a dark blue duffel bag.
Johnny, on the other hand, began to look in a drawer for something. This piqued the Eds' curiosity and they went over to Johnny.
Double D asked " Excuse me, Johnny but what are you doing?"
Johnny answered " Looking for my commissionary key."
The three Eds looked at each other and Eddy asked " Your what key?"
Johnny looked at the Eds and sighed before he answered " My commissionary key. See, we don't directly get money here because some idiot decided to use his money to gamble in Las Vegas a few years ago. So the PCC set up this fund where each resident has a account with money in it and every month, they put cash in it. If you're a good kid, they put in a little extra or they give you double. If you don't follow the rules, you get less than the other kids or you don't get any at all. If you make any money that you already had, they just put it in the account."
The Eds nodded, now understanding Johnny's reasons for his scramble. Johnny grabbed a sliver key on a hoop that said "236" on it.
Johnny motioned for the Eds to follow him as he left the room. He headed downstairs to the first floor and took a turn to the back of the first floor. He got to a door and he knocked on it twice.
The door opened and a sixteen-year-old boy with a dyed blue crew cut said " What do you want?"
Johnny handed him the key and replied " Account balance for lockbox 236."
The boy looked at the lockbox, pointed to Johnny and said " You Smith?"
Johnny nodded with an raised eyebrow and the boy opened Johnny's lockbox before he checked the lockbox. He then closed the lockbox, handed Johnny back his key and headed over to a computer.
The boy began typing on the computer and looked at the screen.
The boy looked at Johnny and said " As of today, you have $540.78."
Eddy's jaw dropped and he looked at Johnny with shock and surprise.
Johnny replied " Withdrawal of 200 dollars." and the boy nodded.
The boy opened a cash register and took out ten twenty-dollar bills before he handed them to Johnny.
Johnny shoved the bills into his pocket and said " Thanks." as he looked at the Eds.
Johnny asked " You have any unclaimed keys, Davis?"
Davis answered " Matter of fact, yeah. 125, 250 and 350."
Johnny asked " Can I get the account balances for those?"
Davis answered " Whoa, Johnny. I can't say that to you since you're not the owner." as the three Eds walked over to Davis.
He looked at the three Eds before he began typing on the computer again, but more rapidly.
Davis turned to the Eds and said " All of you have 400 dollars in your accounts."
Eddy asked " Can you withdraw 100 bucks for all 3 of us?"
Davis answered " Yeah, 300 bucks coming right up." before he opened the cash register and took out 15 twenty-dollar bills and handed 5 of them to each Ed.
The Eds put their money in their pockets and left with Johnny. They met up with Ross and Izzy in the dining room.
Johnny asked " Did you guys head over to get your cash?"
Ross answered " Yeah, we got it just 20 minutes ago. Where's Connors?"
Eddy shrugged and said " Last time we saw him was in his office."
Izzy raised her hand and replied " I think he said to meet him outside."
The kids headed outside to get to the van.
