November 18, 1988, New York 5th Avenue there's an orphanage and people were going inside to adopt kids. The orphanage was old kinda run down from the years it's been opened but it still stood. There was a kid with many siblings unlike the others, he's had orange hair and brown eyes. The worker at the orphanage called him Oliver.

Oliver watched as many kids got adopted that day especially his own siblings. Oliver was tired of it watching the kids he knew get adopted he wanted a family and he knew what he had to do. While it was raining Oliver snuck out of the orphanage window and ran away.

Oliver found somewhere to hid out till morning. When morning came Oliver left the place to hopefully find a family. Oliver was tired all day he was feeling tired hungry and saw a hot dog stand. Oliver had no money and Oliver sighed walking away.

Oliver saw an man that looked young with brown hair, the man had a little bit of gray in his beard wearing a cap with jeans with a hole in them, a white shirt with a brown leather jacket with his sunglasses in the pocket, a handkerchief around his neck and tennis shoes. The man paid for a hot dog and before the man started to eat it. The man spotted Oliver and the man looked around.

"Hey kid, Where are your forks?" The man asked Oliver and Oliver frowned

" I..I didn't have any I'm an orphan." Oliver says as the man looked saddened at this fact and gave Oliver the hotdog

Oliver smiled at the man and happily ate the hotdog. The man smiled and looked at Oliver his mind full of questions. The man ruffles Oliver's hair and Oliver looked at him.

"Names Dodger. Why aren't you at the orphanage? They must be worried about ya." Dodger says as Oliver looked away angrily and Oliver huffed

"No. I'm never going back there. I wasn't going to get adopted there. So I ran away." Oliver says as Dodger looked shocked and heartbroken the kid had given up

An idea came into his mind. His dad, Fagin had given him the place he owned and Dodger had friends to help him. Dodger smiled at Oliver and put his arm around the boy.

"How about you come live with me. If you like it I could take you back to the orphanage and adopt you as mine. But if you don't I'm taking you back. It's technically kidnapping kid and I don't want to go to jail." Dodger says as Oliver nodded smiling and Dodger smiled back

Dodger never been a father but this was just to see if the kid really wanted to be his. Dodger wanted to be a father just never met the right girl to have one with. Dodger took Oliver to his house.

Tito, Einstein, Francis, andRita were all doing something in the house. Dodger came inside and all three went to Dodger.

"Hey Dod...Who's the kid?" Tito asked in his heavy Mexican accent and Dodger patted Oliver on the back

"My son maybe. I'm planning on adopting him. He ran away from the orphanage and I'm seeing if he would like to live here with us." Dodger says as Rita and the gang gave him a look

They didn't want kidnapping charge on there hands. Rita took Dodger into the kitchen so they wouldn't be heard by the kid.

"Are you crazy?! Did you think this though? Or was it like a light blub not turning on in there." Rita yelled as she looked angry and tapped Dodger's head

"Ow. No I'm not crazy Rita I'm serious. Look the kid has no one. I just think we have so much to give why not share it with him. Besides if he hates it I'll just give him back to the orphanage no harm, no foul." Dodger says as Rita sighed and then she nodded

Dodger's heart was in the right place but was his head in the right place. Dodger and Rita left the kitchen. The scene they saw touched there hearts. Oliver was curled up in Francis's arms and Tito cuts off the lamp. Dodger puts a blanket over the two and smiled.

"Still think this is a bad idea?" Dodger smirked at Rita and Rita rolled her eyes

"Maybe." Rita says smiling at the two and Dodger chuckled

Few days later

"Easy kid slow down!" Dodger laughed watching Oliver run to the playground and Dodger followed him

"I can't I never been here!" Oliver says looking at Dodger and Dodger smiled

Dodger sat on the bench watching Oliver play. Oliver played on the swings and bumped into a little girl. The little girl had red hair and blue eyes.

"Hi I'm Jenny. What's your name?" Jenny asked Oliver and Oliver smiled

"Oliver." Oliver says holding put his hand and Jenny shook her hand

Oliver smiled his first friend, Oliver saw Jenny's parents so well put together and then he glared over at Dodger who was reading a newspaper.

"Is that your dad?" Jenny asked Oliver and Oliver looked at her

"Oh no he's adopting me. Well I guess he's my dad if he's gonna adopt me." Oliver says as Jenny looked at Oliver and she frowned

Jenny felt something was wrong, was this little boy kidnapped and he had to say that. Jenny tired to remember the signs of a kidnapping and Dodger stood up.

"Hey kid, time to go it's getting late." Dodger says as Oliver smiled and Oliver nodded

"Coming Dodger, we'll bye." Oliver says smiling at Jenny and Jenny quickly grabbed his hand

Oliver looked at her with a confused look on his face and Jenny bit her lip. If Oliver had been kidnapped Jenny had to know to tell her parents.

"W...wait um why don't you come over ask your um dad." Jenny said as Oliver pulled away and Oliver looked at her

"I barley know I have to go." Oliver says looking at Jenny and ran to Dodger

Oliver mentally scratched Jenny's name off the list of friends, he wasn't going to be friends with someone who scared him. Oliver hugged Dodger's waist and Dodger smiled.

"Hey what's wrong kid?" Dodger asked as Oliver looked at the man and Oliver sighed

"That girl over there was being weird when I told her you were gonna adopt me." Oliver says as Dodger's eyes widen and Dodger picked up Oliver

Dodger had to think quicky so Dodger put down Oliver and marched over to Jenny's parents. Jenny was there about to tell her parents when Dodger tapped her father's shoulder.

" Excuse me sir. Your daughter said something to upset my son." Dodger says angrily and Jenny looked at Dodger

" I...I'm so sorry sir. Jenny apologize to the man now." Jenny's father says looking at Dodger and then sternly at Jenny

Jenny felt bad for assuming that Oliver was kidnapped maybe this man was his father. Jenny looked down tears filling her eyes and she sniffed.

"I..I'm sorry sir." Jenny says as Dodger nodded and walked away picking up Oliver

"Don't ever say that to people they might think I kidnapped you Oliver you almost had me in handcuffs." Dodger whispers angrily and Oliver looked down

Oliver didn't mean to get Dodger into trouble well he almost got Dodger into trouble with his big mouth. Dodger carried Oliver home and sets Oliver down. Dodger sighed ruffling the kids hair and Oliver smiled at him.

"Come on kid I'll ask Rita what we are having for dinner." Dodger smiled at Oliver and Oliver nodded at him

After Dinner, Dodger went into Oliver's room and Oliver was in bed. Dodger sat on the bed and grabbed a book. Dodger read to Oliver till he fell asleep, Dodger the tucked in Oliver and kissed Oliver on the forehead goodnight. Dodger left the room smiling at his boy, his boy.
