Lilly said as she ran towards us "don't care" Lee yelled and went back to looking for butts in the bin. He was determined to make $50 today which meant we needed a lot more tobacco to reroll. Lily ran up to us. "Someone stole the Casden boy" "who?" I asked "the fancy white people near the brothel" Lilly said. "Who cares?" said Lee. He found a few more and put them in the bag "this is getting gross; can we just go to the hospital? They have those big ashtray bins" I said "yeah but we will need something to break them open" Lee said. "I can't remember how they open, lets go look at them first" I said.

Where were you? It would have been so much better if you were doing the drop off" she rambled "Debbie can lie" I said "what? no she can't." "ah yeah she can, she just pretends she can't.

We were heading to a homeless hang out incase their fires attracted him. "What do you want!" Yelled out a rough voice as we approached. "Just looking for a dog, has one wondered through?" Cory yelled back. We lowered our torches and approached; they were starting to pack away their stuff for the day. "Hey kids, yeah horny boy chasing a scent. He went that way" Barry said and pointed down the street. We took off and soon found Boof stuck in a female dog. "Again" whined Lilly. We tried to grab him but he wouldnt get off the female. "Got to wait until they get undone themselves" Des said. It started raining while we waited. Once Boof was free we started to drag him home. As we got to Cory's alleyway Boof took off, we all grabbed onto the lead to try and stop him but he pulled us all over and just kept on running. We chased him to Mrs Kleans yard where he quickly tried to mount her dog though she wasn't having a bar of it. We grabbed his lead again and managed to get him away just as Mrs Klean turned her lights on. We got Boof back on his chain and then I headed home, soaking wet and covered in mud. /p

It was getting lighter and we still hadn't found him, we had checked the dumpsters behind the food joints, Mrs Kleans backyard as he liked her dog, and the playground as he once found a hamburger there but there was no sign of him. We were heading to a homeless hang out incase their fires attracted him. "What do you want!" Yelled out a rough voice as we approached. "Just looking for a dog, has one wondered through?" Cory yelled back. We lowered our torches and approached; they were starting to pack away their stuff for the day. "Hey kids, yeah horny boy chasing a scent. He went that way" Barry said and pointed down the street. We took off and soon found Boof stuck in a female dog. "Again" whined Lilly. We tried to grab him but he wouldnt get off the female. "Got to wait until they get undone themselves" Des said. It started raining while we waited. Once Boof was free we started to drag him home. As we got to Cory's alleyway Boof took off, we all grabbed onto the lead to try and stop him but he pulled us all over and just kept on running. We chased him to Mrs Kleans yard where he quickly tried to mount her dog though she wasn't having a bar of it. We grabbed his lead again and managed to get him away just as Mrs Klean turned her lights on. We got Boof back on his chain and then I headed home, soaking wet and covered in mud. /p

"Is she up yet?" I asked. "Doubt it, she was wasted last night" Lip said with a chuckle. "What was that?" Fi asked as she came downstairs. "Shit" I mumbled. "Bloody hell Lucy. What have you done now?" she said as she looked at me. "Boof got out" I said. "I don't know what that means, get those clothes off now and get in the shower. Your filthy" "no hot water" Lip said. "She could have a cold shower" Ian suggested. "Damn it, get those clothes off at least then go over to V's. you're already shivering"/p

Fiona asked a I walked back into the kitchen "no, Kev said no more showers at his place" I said and sat down at the table. "Didn't he see you're covered in mud? A sponge bath isn't going to be enough" Fi said "hey, sorry about the Luce" V said as she came into the kitchen "Kev said no?" Fi asked her "yeah, he is being an arsehole but we will get you in" "before school?" Fi asked. "Yeah, yeah, give me 5 then come over. Just be quiet and quick" v said and left. "Wait here" Fi said and ran upstairs. She came back with a towel and dressing gown. "She said be quick" I told Fiona "We will share, will take exactly the same amount of time." "you're going to be naked together?" Carl asked "eww" I complained. "you literally jumped in the bath with me the other day" Fi said "yeah, that was funny as" I chuckled. /p
