All that night I couldnt help but think about my mother. What kind of person was she? Was she the loving type or would she treat me no better than my Father? All these thoughts ran through my mind before I dreffed off into sleep. The next morning came and I was the first one up. I never was the type to stay up late and sleep all day . I stood up from where i was and looked around. Everyone was still sleeping and another thing i notised. .....THERE ALL BOYS! I walked over to the window to see if the sun had come up yet. It was barly peaking over the buildings of London.

"My dear you sure are up early." I heard some one say.

I quickly turned around to see the man i was hidding behind the day before.I took a minute to take in his feachers. He a red beard , Green eyes and a brown hat on.

" Um yes i always get early. By the way I dont think I ever got your name." I said

" Oh you can just call me Prince Bobby" He said

" Fagin, why are you lie'n to the new girl ?" I heard someone ask

I turned to see Dodger sitting up in his bed . I then placed his hat on his head and stood up .

" His name's Fagin and he likes to joke alot." Dodger said as he walked over tords us

" So ....I dont call him Prince Bobby?" I asked

All three of us started laughing . When we stoped Fagin went back in his little whole in the wall thing. Then I turned to Dodger.

" So what happoned last night?" I asked picking up Missy who walked over to me not to long ago.

" Bill thrented you . Then you started freaking out. Then the next thing we knew your on the ground out cold." Dodger explained.

" Yeah I never was good with people gett'n up in me face and yell'n." I laughted

" Yeah I can see that " He replyed.

"So ..... what do you do around here?" I asked

" Well me and the boys have to go out on the job to day. Would you like to come?" he asked

" Whats the job? " I asked

" Have you ever picked a pocket before?" He questioned

" How do you think iv been eating for the past 2 years?" I asked

" Well ill ask Fagin if you can come." Dodger replyed then walked off to where Fagin was

I heard them talk them talk and i sat Missy down. Some of the other boys were waking up and looking at me. Oliver woke up and looked at me aswell. He then got up and walked over to me.

" Good morn'n Alice, how did you sleep last night?" Oliver asked in his sweet tone.

" Ok i guess , Im not really used to sleep'n in a bed." I replyed

" Oh i know what you mean . I was the same way before i met Fagin and Dodger. Their the ones that took me in and i guess their tak'n you in now." Oliver smiled

" I guess so" I smiled back.

Soon Dodger came back . He was messing with a button on his jacket . When he got to me he looked up and smiled.

" Your gonna be partnerd up with me and Oliver today. So brush your 'air put your shoes on what ever it is that you girls do so we can go !" He rushed

" Ok ok dont be in such a hurry, im working on it!" I replyed as i put on my shoes.
