In Chapter 11, Lefty Lewis sees Bud hitchhiking and offers him a ride to Grand Rapids. Lefty then tells Bud that he needs to drive back to Flint so he can drop off blood at the Hurley Hospital. While they are driving, Bud falls asleep, and Lefty Lewis takes Bud to his daughter's home to spend the night. When Bud wakes up, he joins Lefty's family for breakfast. Mrs. Sleet is the name of Lefty's daughter, and she has two children, Kim and Scott. Bud is introduced to Kim and Scott during breakfast, and they bicker with each other like typical siblings. Scott is curious to learn about Bud's situation and asks Bud several questions about why he decided to run away. Kim then offers Bud a deal. She tells Bud that she will sing a song that she made up if he promises to answer one question. Bud agrees to the deal, Kim sings, then asks Bud how his mother died. Bud explains that his mother was ill and passed away without any pain. Kim and Scott then begin to argue again before Lefty Lewis and Mrs. Sleet return from the kitchen.
