The next day

Dave
My mama came and got the kids and Haze is at work and I'm on my way to the building that I bought for the teens safe haven. The faster I get this construction started and underway the faster we can open up and get these teens off of the streets. I parked my car in front of the building I got out and walked up to the door and walked in.

"Wassup Dave."

"Wassup D."

We dapped each other up.

"Have the workers came yet?"

"Nah not yet there 5 minutes away."

"Oh okay."

"Have you came up with a name yet?"

"I'm debating between a few names."

"Oh okay. Is Haze okay with you doing this?"

"Yeah she is she got her own thing going too."

"What is it?"

"I'll let Haze tell you herself."

"Okay that's fine."

The door opened we turned and seen the workers we greeted them and started showing them around the building.

"What will the name be Mr. Brewster?"

"East Safe Haven."

The worker nodded and wrote the name down.

"How long will all of this take?"

"6 months to a year."

Desmond looked at me.

"Excuse us."

The worker nodded me and Desmond stepped away.

"6 months to a year that's too long Dave?"

"I know."

"Have you sold your old house," Desmond asked.

"Nah."

"How many bedrooms?"

"7."

"Alright and my old house was a 4 bedroom."

The door opened again and about 11 teens walked in.

"We'll finish this later."

We walked over to them.

"Hello what can we do for y'all," Desmond spoke.

"What y'all about to do with this building?"

"Turning it into a safe haven or a group home whatever you want to call it."

"Oh thank God we need a place like this?"

"Why aren't y'all in school?"

"Look at us we can't go to school like this."

We looked at their attire which was dirty and had holes.

"How about we taking y'all shopping and send y'all to school."

"We ain't no charity cases," the young man spoke.

Heard that before.

"What's your name?"

"Keon."

"Well Keon we don't think y'all charity cases we just want to help nah we never been in y'all position but we're trying to help keep y'all out the streets."

"Well we don't need your-," a girl cut him off.

"Speak for yourself Keon hi I'm Kassie and we need all the help we can get."
