Peter didn't have much. His tiny apartment, he had to fix everything that was in it, without telling the landlord, otherwise they would raise his heat.
But he was able to fix the heater, get the plumbing to run better, hotwired the frig, the freezer didn't work still but he was probably only a few more dumpster diving away from getting what he needs to fix that.
But when he realized he had a new neighbor he wanted to do something nice. He remembered that the small fire escape he had grown several bushels of tomatoes. He quickly crawls out the window and snaps a few of the bigger ones off before crawling back inside. He finds an old newspaper and wraps them up in them. Scribbles a small Welcome neighbor to it.
He nods at it and then pokes his head out into the hall, making sure it was clear before he moves to the door next to his, a white cat is sitting out front.
" Locked out already pretty? I'm sure they will be home soon. I'm right next door if you need me."
He sets the tomatoes down and gives the cat a pet and a chin scratch. Grinning when the cat starts purring.
Its as he gets back to his place the door almost closed when the hears the new neighbor.
" Alpine. How do you keep getting out?"
