History: Jimmy was living a great life, until about three years ago, when his parents started drinking heavily. They then started abusing the boy, physically, and emotionally. He'd wake up in the mornings, to his father standing there. As soon as the boy would stand up, his Dad would start hitting him. He would get hit from both parents all day, until he was finally able to go to sleep. This abuse took it's toll on the boy, and as he aged, he did not grow much. The fact that they barely fed Jimmy, and neglected his basic needs, made it so he was very small for his age.
When he was finally fed up with the abuse, Jimmy decided to run away. This was shortly after he turned eight. After almost a month on the streets, he soon learned that he could not survive on his own. He returned home, to find that his house had been burned down. He found out that his parents had died in the fire. Left with no one and nowhere to go, the boy returned to living on the streets.
Now - One month Later:
Jimmy Knight was running as fast as he could. He was dirty, his clothes ripped almost to shreds, and his hair looked like it would take a pitch fork to comb. He had been on the streets for well over a month, and was now running away from a guy that wanted to hurt him.
The eight year old boy ducked down an alley and dived behind a dumpster. As he sat there and caught his breath, he thought about the last month. After running away from his parents, who had been beating him every day of his life, and being on the streets for two weeks, he had tried to go home. He had no idea how to survive, so he had given up.
When he had gotten home, he saw that his house had burned to the ground, and no sign of his parents. From what he had heard, they must have been in the house when it burned down. He had been on the streets since then, doing what he could to survive. No small feat for an eight year old.
Jimmy heard the guy that was chasing him cuss, then run off down the street. Since he was now as safe as he could be, he stepped out from behind the dumpster. Jimmy started feeling hungry, so he walked back to the street and saw a vender that stepped away from his cart. He ran over and grabbed a bag of chips and started to walk off, when a hand grabbed his arm. He looked up and saw a police officer there. Jimmy dropped the bag of chips, and gulped, knowing that he was now in a world of trouble.

He didn't know if it was because he had grown up the same way or what it was,but he had seen the whole thing and he's reaction towards it had been quick. He had quickly rushed over to the cop and the boy in a worried rushed voice."Wait...officer he's with me"He exclaimed to the cop as he had looked down at the boy.
"I been looking everywhere for you.I told you not to run off...."He said looking down at Jimmy and then back up at the cop."I am sorry the boys parents just did and he's haveing a hard time adjusting....thought he would enjoy some fresh air before going home with me....He's mother was my sister"He said of course what he was saying was all lies except for being related,but the cop didn't need to know that. He could tell this about this boy just by looking at him and he knew in he's heart he wanted to help him. Since he had been homeless himself once left to defend for himself on the streets and work himself up in life going from one foset family to an other.It was such a horrable life for him.

Jimmy looked at the man, and wondered what he was doing. It seemed the cop was believing him, so Jimmy played along, and walked over and stood next to him. The boy wondered who this guy was, and how he seemed to know him. He then wondered why this man took an interest in him.
Jimmy looked down at himself, and remembered just how filthy he was, and how thin and torn up his clothes were. He'd lost the bag with his extra clothes weeks ago. The clothes he was wearing, were so torn up, he knew his skin and underpants were visible, but he had not been able to find clothes he could get.
Even though the boy stole food, to survive, he did not like to steal. He'd never try to steal anything else, and clothes counted to him in that anything else. He tried to get some from people giving them away, but never could find any he could wear. As the cop walked away, the boy looked at the man, his face full of confusion, and tiredness.

The man smiled down at him and had reached down and ruffled he's hair up slightly. Which it was already messed up to begin with.He took a wallet out of he's pocket and opened it and layed down a couple bucks for the hot dog on the venders stand before he let the boy have it. "Now"He said in a clam relaxing voice"Lets go get you some nice new clothing shall we....and then you can tell me your story"He added low enough for only the boy to hear. He knew the boy was confused so he didn't want to confuse him any more then he was and he knew the boy must be tired as well,but he wanted the boy to have some decent clothing since he's cloths was more or less in rags and would draw more un needed attention to the boy.

Jimmy looked at the man, and smiled a sleepy smile. As he ate the hot dog, he looked around, and his eyes suddenly clouded, and time seemed to stand still for the boy. He heard something that he had only heard when there was old movies on the TV his parents watched, and it was enough to scare him into wetting his pants.
As the boy's eye's returned to normal, he grabbed the man's hand, and tugging hard, he said, "Lets go, fast!" He let go, hoping the man followed and ran off, turning down an alley and stopping at the other end, fear evident on his face.

The man had been confused on why he boy would want to run and fast for .So it mst of been an other grown person like himself.He had followed the boy regardless of being curious who it was and would probably find out what it was when they got to a safe spot.
"So...what is it?"He asked the kid curiously.

As Jimmy saw the guy get to him, the sound of an explosion from where they had been came. The shockwave sent the boy stumbling and he fell down onto his behind, with a loud yelp. Standing back up, his ears ringing, he looked around for the man. The air was cloudy with smoke and dirt, and Jimmy could not see anything. Crying hard now, he called out, hoping the man would hear and find him.

The man had got knocked into a wall,but he had quickly got back up after the exploseing.He groaned slightly and rubbed he's head .Hearing the boy cry out for him he called back out to him as well."Over here...follow the wall"He said with a cough wondering what the hell just happened .

Still crying, the small boy made his way to the man, and finding him, wrapped his arms around him tight. Jimmy was scared to death, and had no idea what all was going on. He heard sirens going in the distance, and wondered if they should stay, or not.
"Um. Should we stay, or leave?" He asked the man. He looked around, while wiping his face, and still could barely see. The boy wondered what all was damaged in the explosion. As he stood there, a sound above him got his attention and he looked up. Just as he did, he could just make out a mustard bottle slowly rolling down the outside steps of the building they were behind.

The man had let the boy cling to him tightly as he had wrapped he's own arm around him and ruffled he's hair some more."We should get you some clothing first...and figure out what is going on later..."He said as he was curious what happened as he was now staring at the mustard bottle that was rolling outside the steps where they wore. Did someone plant a bomb...was it some kind of sick prank...whatever it was.He was aggervated about it.

At the mention of clothes, Jimmy frowned, wondering how this man would get clothes small enough to fit him. The boy may be eight years old, but he was the size of the typical six year old. Jimmy used to hate that he was so small, but in the last month, he grew to love his small size, as it helped him greatly as he lived on the street.
Jimmy liked the idea of getting out of there, though, and that was written all over his face. The boy was scared of standing there, unsure what was going on. The mustard bottle was a bit of an odd sight to him, and he wondered just how it got all the way to where they were. He assumed that whatever the blast was, it must have been at the hot dog vendor.
"Um, sir?" Jimmy started. "Do you think the hot dog vendor is okay?" The boy, as always, was more concerned with the welfare of others, and was worried about the poor vendor. He had a bad feeling about that blast, although, for the life of his eight year old mind, he could not think of why anyone would blow up a hot dog vendor.

(that is how my nephew is...he's like 8 years old and still wearing five to six size stuff..cuz he's such a picky eater...I he is 48 pounds right now.)
"I am sure he is ok...I am guessing he had stepped away to use the bathroom before that happened. But I am wondering why someone would blow up such a thing unless it was some kind of terrorist attack and I hate to think about such stupid things around here....people are crazy and I don't consider it a terrorist,but jsut an evil person that wants to cause harm.....we'll stop back by here later ok...to see if he is ok....we need to get you clothing before people start thinking I'm a pervert...."He added.

The small boy giggled at what he said. Then he looked and wondered where they would go, and what would happen to them. He also had a strange idea that there was more to the vendor issue, than they thought. However, that was way beyond his knowledge of what to do about it, so he shrugged his shoulders, and walked with the man.
Jimmy looked at him, and asked. "What's your name?" Before he could say more, a huge orange cat ran into him, knocking him flat on his back. The cat sat on his chest, and meowed, as if they were long lost friends. Which, in a sense, they were. "Kitty!!! Where you been, boy? Me missed you!" The boy hugged the feline tight, and the cat let out a loud purr. The boy looked up at the man, and explained it was his cat, from his old home. He'd thought the cat was dead, and now he figured the cat had been doing like he was, wandering around.

"Wow!" The man exclaimed"That is one of the biggest ally cats I ever seen"He said with a laugh as it had appeared to have belonged to the boy at one point."Hmmm seems he found you...they say animals can do stuff like that"He added putting he's hand sin he's pockets and looked around wondering if anything else was going to happen before he could get the boy some clothing.He smirked at the thought,but he was hopeing to at least get him clothing first.

Jimmy was hugging his cat, and wondering just where the fur-ball had been all this time. He looked up at the man, and his eyes were so bright and full of happiness, it showed. That's the nice things about little kids, they were easy to please, for the most part. Also, they were not afraid to show their feelings.
The boy was happy for once in his short life, after the ordeals he'd lived with. He found his beloved cat, and this man, whom still had not told Jimmy his name, yet the boy knew he could trust him. He stood up, and held the cat in his arms and followed the man.

The man just shook he's head and smiled."Names James...."He said as he looked down at him and the cat"So what is the cats name?'He asked him curiously as they headed towards a clothing store.

"Kitty." The boy said simply. He really had no idea, himself, why the cat never got a proper name, but the fuzzball more likely would not respond to anything else, anyway. He held his cat, still curious at to what it had been doing since he'd last seen him.
The cat, meanwhile, was purring loudly, happy to have found his human. The cat would not let this small boy be separated from him again, and in his kitty cat mind, he plotted a way to stop such a thing from occurring again.

The man laughted slightly."Seems fitting for the cat"He said as he glanced down at the cat."There is stories about how animals can find there owners from miles away.....maybe he did the same thing...."He suggested as he stopped outside a shop. "How about this one...the cat will have to wait out here....no animal policy"He added.

The boy stopped, and upon the man's speech, the cat twitched it's tail and gave a dirty look at the shop. Jumping out of the boy's arms, the cat stepped to the door, and let out a huge hiss and then sat down near it.
Jimmy looked at the cat, and said. "That's right fuzzface, tell them what you think." He then entered the shop.
