You (Gerry) take a shortcut through the alley where the Homeless Man lives.

You find the Homeless Man cute and give him some money.

The Homeless Man plans to talk you into taking him home, intending to take as much as he can, not yet realizing that he will be able to take everything Gerry owns and make him his slave.

Homeless Man leans in, grinning, and says: "Thanks for the cash, mate. How about you take me home? Bet you got a warm bed and a hot meal, yeah?"
