"h..y.....b..."

"Hey.....b.....i......p"

"HEY BUM, I SAID GET UP!"
'whats going on' Arthur wakes up from his nap to see a man in his late 20's yelling at him for some reason or other. 'probably took his spot or something'
"no need to scream about we can share, we are the same after all" Arthur moves over and offers him a spot on the ground next to him
"i don't wanna sit next to a lowlife like you, i told you to move. You cant stay here move or ill call the cops"
'nope he was just a dickhead' Arthur thinks before asking him, "can you help me get into my chair at least?" Arthur tells the man as he looks at his wheelchair knowing if he doesn't get help its gonna be a bitch to get on.
"Be gone in 10 minutes or i'm calling the cops" is the response he gets as the man walks away from him to enter a building across the street.
'he doesn't even live here whats his fuckin problem?' Arthur cant help but think about why the man wants him to move if he doesn't even live on the same side of the street 'oh well, might as well get packing' he starts to roll up his blanket to reveal that from the knees down there is nothing, no calves, no feet, nothing.
'so how am i gonna do this now?' After packing all his stuff into his book-bag Arthur starts to eye up his wheelchair and make a plan for how to get up when he starts hearing noises behind him.
"hey Arthur" says a man from behind him
"hey brad, i thought i told you to call me Art"
"Now you know i can't do that to my old general now do ya?"
"sigh.. so that kid really called the cops on me eh?"
"unfortunately yes"
Arthur finally turns around to look at his old private Brad Dickson. Arthur was in charge of him for over 4 tours in Iraq before they both got wounded in a firefight. Arthur lost his legs and brad took a bullet to his lung causing both to be discharged.
"At least i can eat a warm meal and sleep in a bed tonight" Arthur tells Brad knowing that hes gonna be put in the police station over night. This is a weekly thing that happens to Arthur unfortunately, or fortunately depending on who you ask. Brad has to see a old war buddy slowly dying but Arthur knows he can get some food and sleep without worrying about getting mugged.
"lets get you up in this chair" Brad says before lifting Arthur up by his armpits and setting him into his seat. "ill get your bags and blanket, just wait for me by the car"
"aight" Arthur responds and rolls himself over. He can see the little twerp who called the cops on him looking through the window in disgust. '10 minutes my ass, probably called the cops before he even came over to tell me to leave'
"im just going to put your stuff in the trunk and we can go through it at the station"
"yeah yeah i know the procedure"
"you know im just saying it cause i have to."
"i know still makes me laugh giving you a hard time tho" Arthur responds while grinning from ear to ear for being able to talk to a comrade in so long.
Brad proceeds to put Arthur in the back seat and his wheelchair in the trunk along with his other possessions. Before closing the door while still out of Arthur sight he loses his smile and has anger in his eyes. 'why after all we been through did they just throw him away like some used towel.' Brad sees the man who called the cops open his door.
"hey Arthur im going to take a witness statement i'll be back"
"what ev ill be here"
Brad walks over to the man but before he could even get within 12 feet of him
"you finale got that bum i called you like 15 minutes ago. What were you doing eating doughnuts or some shit what if it was an emergency."
Brad has a look in his eye as if he about to snap
"shut the fuck up and go back in side before i hurt you"
"ohhh the big bad police officer is gonna arrest me. ohhhh nooooooooo. *laugh* I'm filming this you do anything and i'm going to post it online. i bet i will get a million views in the first week and you will get fired just as fast so if you want to do something do it."
Brad takes a breath before walking away and getting in his cruiser
"What that twerp have to say to you Brad"
"nothing he was just being an idiot"
