Alex cursed at himself when he noticed he broke the kid’s finger.  He had not meant to push him that hard on the ground, but he didn’t like being shoved up against the wall.  “Actually I quite remember you are the one that pushed me into the wall and got into my personal bubble.”<br/><br/>Alex looked at the kid and gave a little shrug when he asked him the question.  To be honest Alex usually just through money at people, or had Jamie do it, but there was just something about this kid that reminded him of himself.<br/><br/>“You will learn someday that not everyone wants something in return for helping them out.”  Alex took years to learn this lesson, but he did finally learn it.  Alex reached into his coat pocket and took out one of his business cards and tossed it at the kid.<br/><br/>“There’s my cell phone and address if you decide that you want to stop feeling sorry for yourself and get out of the gutter.”  Alex said as he placed his hands in his pockets and turned to walk away and when he got to the end of the alley he turned back to the kid.<br/><br/>“Did you ever think that maybe I just say a guy who reminded me of myself and I wanted to help him out because I know what it was like to be where you are?”  Alex said and then headed out of the alley and back down the street.
