Christmas Eve
No One Cares Orphanage Home
Have you ever tried hoping for a change and discovered that you hated yourself for believing such could happen? It is winter in New York City where snowfall seems to be the only thing every child in No One Cares Orphanage looks forward to and you may wonder why? Well, Winter makes us forget we are dying but gives joy to the Christmas spirit.
It is Christmas the only time we get to eat a good meal as neighbors within our vicinity send gifts and good meals to the Orphanage. Churches visits also to spread God's word sting that Jesus was born on Christmas Day to bring hope to the world, another thing we hold on to because we are here to hear good stories Despite this Christmas day enjoyment it does not change the fact that there is never hope for us, How I wish every day is Christmas.
All I care about is making sure my companions live and don’t experience nor remember the tragedy that happened on June 4th, 1998. I see myself as a leader in the Orphanage even though it sounds crazy yet I have since the past 9 months stolen from the supermarket food to eat, clothes to wear, water to drink, and take our bath since the incident of me causing the military to intervene our government decided to punish us by refusing to aid us financially nor shorting supply of food leaving our nannies hopeless on how to cater for our future.
Now you can see why I had to step up, you will be happy to know that I also stole from schools books for my companions to read though helped by our nannies with the little extent of their knowledge but that was not enough because even though I am comfortable with steal I am still interested in us having a life with good jobs and family in the American dream.
Before you judge me just know that if you were in my shoes you would have stood up. I am 9 years old currently but I know that there must be a way for all of my companions to have a new life and live like everyone else in the city. As soon as Christmas EVE was over I called for a meeting at the dining and when this happened they all knew I had something important to say.

Dining Hall
9 pm
No One Cares Orphanage Home
Everyone was seated in the dining room which is at least better than the last one since we stole some wood and kidnapped a carpenter to fix it and also there things in our home. Since everyone was seated including our nannies.
“Hello, everyone” I greeted.
“Hello, Andrew!” They replied.
“ Let me start by wishing you all Merry Christmas”, I said.
“ Merry Christmas to you too,” They replied.
“ Do you know that no one cares about us but we must fend for ourselves, I hate to break it to you once Christmas is over we will have to keep stealing to meet our needs and we recall that the last time we were almost caught so I came up with an idea,” I said.
“ What idea?” Nanny Jane asked.
“ We are going to make the biggest heist in history, it means tomorrow by Christmas we are going to steal from every rich people in our vicinity”
“ Andrew, can we steal Television?” Daniel asked.
“Yes,” I replied.
“ Can I steal a pony?” Lucy asked.
“ Yes, you can all of you, steal and take as much as you need but remember we must avoid being caught okay” I replied.
“ Yes, Andrew” They all replied.
“ Now, let's get to work,” I said.
Secretly, none of them knew that I was trying to make the Orphanage presentable so that City parents can visit for adoption, especially the girls and our nannies who experience menstrual cycles and have poor clothes and clean-up tools to take care of themselves. I hated life, I hated my parents who abandoned me, and I hated the Orphanage I guess being its leader is the only thing that keeps me going even though street life will seem cool and great yet most street kids have to be dealers of hard drugs and also addicts of pornography and drugs sleeping on the child street of New York.
Most times they are frequent visitors of Jail which is not something I want to be reckoned with and to top it all few of them have killed their boss which is one of the very things I try to avoid and prevent my companions from becoming.
I know I am no saint as of age 9 and have no excuse for all the theft we engaged in but it was either we die of starvation or we live and die later. Nanny Jane, a young Irish American lady of age 26 wearing a long black blouse with an old faded shirt approached me and said “ Andrew why are you worried?”
“ Who said I am? I am not worried I am just scared” I replied
“ Hm! I know this is a big weight on you but just remember we all believe in you” Nanny Jane said.
“ I know but how long would we continue to steal till we are caught and arrested.” I replied.
“ Do you have a Plan B?” Nanny Jane asked.
“ What is a Plan B?” I asked.
“ It is you having a back up plan when everything fails” Nanny Jane replied.
“Hm! I know what to do and I will work on it right away” I said.
“ I know but let me ask you why did you chose to stand up for the Orphanage you could have left it for your nannies to stand up for you?” Nann Jane asked.
“ Well, I could but not in a society that sees women as marriage tools, sex tools or slaves only few among you are free from the society though,” I replied.
“You inspire me and I know that you will be a great leader in future. Please don't give up, let your Christmas spirit carry your light around” Nanny Jane said and kissed my forehead, “Go to bed Andrew have a long day tomorrow,” She pleaded.
Nanny Jane switch off the lantern and left boys room while I looked at the patched ceiling hoping for Angel to put me to bed.

I walk down the stairs still feeling empty with everywhere quiet as it has been 2 years and two months since I last saw or heard from any of my companions. I felt as if I was meant to be reject, Nanny Grace died five months ago and Nanny Jane is married with kids. Though Nanny Jane does check on me everyday even when she is pregnant she also hopes that new abandoned children will be brought to the Orphanage so I won't be alone. Nanny Grace's food business died since I could not meet up to her recipe since I could not fend for myself. Nanny Jane supported me with 2 dollars everyday despite that it could not meet my daily needs so I went back to what I know how to do best, which is theft.I kept on stealing with joy that at least I have the Orphanage as a shelter because Nanny Jane almost sold it out but had to stop because I had nowhere

All you just have to do is be cool or maybe not, be cool just accept whatever life throws at you next. This is all good to be true.

What a buzzkill why interrupt my heavenly moment. I think the heavens finally had my prayer. I hope all my companions are having a good time like I am.I walked into the building with Mr. Banks and four security guards two to my left, two to my right.

Did you know that life is funny and most of the time cute? It has been 4 years now since I have been enlisted to this family even though my mum earns money legit through software making but behind the scenes are the drugs and weapons she is in control of. My mum does not encourage trafficking of women, children nor men but kidnapping seems a bit legit. You may be wondering if I have had my first kill and my answer will be Yes.It is a culture that if you are to be accepted into the family and me as her son I must kill five rats meaning those who tries to expose mum's secret to the outside world since mum owns the NYPD and the CIA or MI6 or any intelligence agency cannot attack though their do not know her Identity nor her face expect I, Mr. Banks and few people who she trust a lot.My mum is a ghost and she also taught me how to be since I am her son, the surprising part is she freely exposed secret information to me without thinking.

The Lords have the four Queens and heart tattoos at their back, mom has, so do I. As for Luca, Mr. Banks, Alexa, Elephant, Baggy Man each have three Queens and a large heart tattooed at their back to show leaders. As for the rest of the Heart family, they have just two Queens and a big heart.With this, we know our family and cannot kill or touch them. Any mistake will not be forgiven. Imbibed in the tattoos are barcodes, trackers to help send our location to the heart, grant us access in our meetings and also help send emergency signals for help from any heart member in any country in the world.I apologize I forgot to inform you that this is 2005 and mom's empire had spread globally so we no longer traffic drugs and sell weapons. We protect good people. Like mom says, just a way to quench our inner demons and let the boys have fun and play. Luckily for us we have save 300 thousands innocent civilians from bomb blast, terrorist etc. and we have lost 399 heart members doing so but n

He is feared till today as no one wants to go to court with him because they end up losing and becoming exposed.I am glad the heart has him though he is blind as a bat but he is our batman and our beacon of justice. All my life I haven’t seen life as I have seen it now though movies tell us what they think it is but reality makes us understand what we truly do not understand.I could say my mum is very brave, doing the impossible at a little age reminds me of my little crusade at No one cares Orphanage home which at the end opened a new door for all my companions to be adopted. I guess all sacrifices are worth both good and evil. It just depends on which one brings a lasting and peace giving reward.It is not easy to lead the heart no matter how tough she will have her tearful days but nevertheless with time she grew to overcome her challenges and trust in her family to do the right thing at the right time.Pretty much every member of the heart each has a painful past that defines th
