"I think they like us," Brock commented as we got to the living room. 
     "Yeah I think they do too. They might even protect us if the time comes for that," David replied. 
     "Don't get your hopes up.  They just met us and picked us up off the street," I said.  I was going to say something else but the men walked into the room.  
      "You can sit down you know?" Tyler commented.  We then sat down with the man who had helped us this morning again but Scotty sat between Anthony and Marcel.  I could not believe how happy he looked when he was with them.  We watched television for a little while until Tyler spoke.  "Our meeting is in an hour so we should start to get ready now."  The men got up and walked out of the room.  The boys and I were still sitting on the couch. 
     "So scotty How is Anthony and Marcel?" Brock asked in a teasing way.  I smirked when his face started to turn red. 
     "Sh shut u up," Scotty stuttered looking at his feet. 
     "Awww is our little Scotty embarrassed?" David asked also in a teasing voice.  I laughed lightly when Scotty 'punched' David in the arm.  His punches were more like a pat with his fist. 
     "Well you seem to be all over Lui.  How's that going?" Scotty said in sassy way that would shock anyone and did it in normal volume too.  My mouth fell open at how he just talked and I could tell all the other boys were in shock like me.  "What's wrong with you?"
     "What have those men done to you?" I commented. 
     "What do you mean?" Scotty asked looking me in the eyes.  I was in total shock and couldn't answer his question. 
     "Scotty you're speaking up and talking in normal volume instead of a whisper.  You are also making eye contact with people instead of your shoes and you are becoming more open and just a little while ago you were smiling.  I've never seen you smile and I've known you for ten years.  Two men come into your life and suddenly your someone new," Evan said and the rest of nodded in agreement. 
     "I've never smiled until now?" Scotty asked and we nodded a yes.  "That can't be right I've had to have smiled before."
     "Scotty I'm not going to sugarcoat this you have been depressed your whole life," Brock said wrapping his arms around the smaller boy.  I then followed and put my arms around him.  Then Evan did and Bryce.  The last person was David to join our hug since he was the farthest away.  A quiet sobbing came from the middle of this hug and we could tell it was Scotty. 
     "Oh my gosh!  Are you guys never hugging?" A voice asked from the door.  I turned and saw a confused looking Tyler standing there. 
     "Screw off," I said bitterly.  The hug then dissipated and a red eyed Scotty with wet cheeks was seen.  I looked over and saw the rest of the men had walked in and Marcel and Anthony looked upset about Scotty's state. 
     "Well we have to go now but we'll be back before two," Delirious said and then the men walked out of the house.
