Outside from the housing unit block lived a bibliomanie book reading geek woman with no interest for a asocial life with any person she lived in her world of books and also a secret spy on an old Greek house across the street .she sees and hears a loud Greek couple yelling a d the grown kids are loud too when drop by to visit there parents. And one cloudy afternoon the whole Greek family run out of there house into the yard with there grownup two sons and big daughter not knowing why they sudden ran out yelling and the wife grabs a lawn mower and roughly tried to mow the lawn.

The house for dinner and is told to sleep in the spare room from now on .he agreed to this .

Anyway two grown up kids the two sons often go out at night to raid old people s home for cash money with pistols po inted though they didn't need to shoot anyone they rob in the residents homes as they reluctant ly handed the money and then the two brothers flees to do a drug dealing with the young people.and the daughter of the greenhouse family often went to the local pub to get drunk and staying away from her parents home for such time unless she needed more money then going back to the greekvhiuse parents to steal more money off then and then goes on a drink binge and sleep with man afterman.
