Chapter 6: Urgent Need to Make Money
The walk home was slightly quiet, with Tyler and Devin exchanging a few words between each other.
Tyler saw how hungry his young brother was, from the look on his face, and he decided to not bother him with questions.
When they got home, Tyler immediately went to the kitchen to make the two of them something to eat.
Unfortunately, when he got to the kitchen, he saw there was nothing for him to cook, or anything they could possibly eat.
It was completely empty.
Seeing this, Tyler sighed, as he could already guess that their mother didn’t have anything before going to work in the morning. And she probably still hasn’t eaten anything by now.
The expression on his face tightened and his fist clenched involuntarily, as he thought of this.
"I need to quickly find a way to fix this," he muttered to himself.
He left the kitchen and made his way upstairs to Devin’s room. He knew that the little boy was already aware that there was nothing at home, and wasn’t bothered but Tyler can’t allow him to go hungry.
Arriving at the door to Devin’s bedroom, he knocked once before opening it and walking in.
"Hey, buddy," he said, as he walked to his bed.
