Maxi: aww shit ( sees the bag and pick it up )
Over voice of Dino; I rather see you go farther than this shit

As Tyson walks in his yard he sees a car go faster than usual, when he gets in the yard he sees eviction notice in the mail
When he walks in he gets a letter from his mother saying she won't be home cause she had to work an extra shift and there's sandwiches in fridge.
He goes in his room and plays music ( youngboy rock and roll )
