You decide to keep your container of poop for later use and stuff it in your crammed backpack. Mr. Swanson checks you out of the hospital and you head out to his car. He picks up some breakfast at a drive thru and the two of you head to Louisville. You arrive at the foster home, which is a three story brick building from the 1940s in the city. The outside is pretty ruddy.
"Eh it's not much to look at," scoffs Mr. Swanson, "But I just know you'll like it here!"
You just glance over the building up and down as the two of you walk in the wooden front door. Inside, there are a bunch of rambunctious boys jumping around and running up and down the stairs. They stop and stare at you.
"Hey look another one," whispers one of them.
"Ha look he has zits," whispers another.
Mr. Swanson leads you into a small room with a closed door. Inside is an overweight woman with three chins.
"Why Alan!" she bellows with laughter, "You dint brought me nuther one didja?? HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW"
Your first thought is that this nightmare of a woman is completely obnoxious.
"Hello Martha," he says calmly, "You been good?"
"I've been just dandy, Alan!" she practically shouts, "Who is dis young'un?"
This living barely moving blob firmly digs her heels into the floor and chugs herself forward in her chair. On the third try, she manages to reach her feet and grabs the edge of her desk to avoid falling the other way.
"Uh..." you stutter, not sure if this is fear or disgust for this woman, "My name is Sven Svenson."
"HAW HAW you from Turkey or something?" she asks.
"Uh..."
"Actually I think that's Scandinavian, Martha," corrects Mr. Swanson.
"OH," she shouts, "Maybe it's just cause I like Turkey! GET IT?! THE FOOD?! HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW"
"Alright well..." says Mr. Swanson awkwardly, "I'm just gonna show him to his room. I'll be back for the paperwork."
"AL-ALRIGHT A-A-ALAN!" she wheezes through her laughing.
Mr. Swanson practically drags you out of the room.
"Don't worry," he says, "She's not the actual caretaker. She's just the owner. Clearly she's not in the shape to chase young boys around."
He takes you upstairs and introduces you to a slim blonde girl, scarcely looking to be 20.
"This is Cindy," he says, "She takes care of everything up here such as cleaning floors, making beds, and enforcing curfew."
Mr. Swanson then shows you to your room, which has two bunk beds, two dressers, and two desks lined with textbooks and papers.
"This lower bunk here is yours."
After making sure you're good, he leaves to do paperwork with the fat beast downstairs.
