"Its none of your business.", Benjamin replies.

"Emily. Does your brain really works properly, How can you allow your kid to go to the streets and work at this time of an hour?." Benjamin scolds his wife with fierce look on his face.
Emily exclaims in anger ,"What did you expect us to do Benjamin uh! tell me?, You didn't even left us some money, So how did you expect us to wait for you while we are hungry?."

"Are you really sure mom because from what i can see i can tell there is something wrong here?."
Emily sniffs and replies, "Yes I'm sure nothing happened Justin, don't worry."
Justin's doubts fills inside his mind because from the picture that he is seeing it's quite opposite from what his mother saying . Justin then decides to ask his young brother Smith.
"Smith. Is she really telling me the truth?."

"No! Justin, Daddy came back home today and mistreated us all like this and left".

"Please don't go to your father. Just leave him alone I'm begging you."
Justin replies ,"But why mom this is too much, I have to go and confronts him about this."
Emily replies, "I know son but listen to me, Just leave him alone and come back to the house, there is no need of going and confronting him."
