As Little_Tony walks the streets of Philadelphia to get to know the streets of his new home town a little better, he passes an empty construction yard where 6 to 8 young boys are hanging out. They do nothing, just stand or sit there, kicking some dirty or a rock. The boys are all dirty and dress in worn down and old cloths.
Kind a sad, Little_Tony thinks as he notices something that makes him smile a bit.

He walks slowly towards the boys, and as he gets closer they stops to talk and just stairs, Little_Tony smiles as he notice they all looks like they dont know if they should hide and run....or run and hide. Litle_Tony stops at a very small boy, must be around the age of 10-12, that is sitting on a small box.

'Is that a shoeshine box, you got there ?? Little_Tony asks
'yes, yes...yes, sir' the boy replies and looks kind of nervous
'Then why are you sitting in here on this abandon construction yard.....forcing people like me, needing a shoe shine, to get my shoes even more dirty. You trying to run a scam by charging more!!' Little_Tony smiles as he says this, making sure the boy dont know if he is in trouble or not.
The boy almost crying mumbles 'No no no no, sir. But the streets are empty, there is no work for us shoe shine boys any more. Has been this way.....for some time.

Event hat the boy are scared and crying he still carefully picks his word, he knows talking to much can cost you your life, but talking to little right now might do the same. Little_Tony looks at the boy with a stoneface, and slowly places his hand inside his jacket. The other boys steps one step back and are all ready to run, they have seen this before and knows that in a second or two a gun will be pulled out. Little_Tony removes his hand as fast as he can from his jacket, pointing the object at the boy. The boy on the shoe shine box covers his face with his hands and the other boys just stairs at the hand.........

'Want a cigaret' the boy looks at the object in Little_Tony's hand and see its a packet of cigarets. The boy takes one out slowly, still not sure what to do.
'I take it you shoe shine boys havn't heard that the ScipitaRourke family has moved into Philadelphia today, so if i was you i would hurry and get out there again...lots of shoes to shine, and you' Little_Tony points at the boy, then points at his own shoes 'got the first pair to shine right there'

As Little_Tony leaves the abandon construction yard with his new shinny shoes he just knows that this is going to be a good day.

I liked the idea behind this, well thought out.
