Kid Blink and Racetrack Higgins were on their way back to the lodging
house. They had had a good selling day. All their papes were gone in half
the time than usually.
"Well, you see, if the mayor makes mistakes, the papes sell themselves." Laughed Race and gave his friend a clap on his shoulder.
"Yeah, but we have to find "real" jobs soon. See, we're going to be twenty in a few months."
"Yeah, you're right. Hey, what's that?" Race pointed to a little boy who was walking at the middle of the street just when they heard a carriage to come after him.
"Watch it!" Blink run and pulled the small boy away from the street, just to hear all the people scream. Out of that voices they heard someone calling out for the boy. And Blink looked up to see a young woman which seemed more like a girl running to him.
" Luke!"
Race stood behind Blink and looked also at the girl.
"Oh my god! Luke, I told you not to leave my side!" she kneed down, let her basket fall, and hugged the boy who throw his arms around the girl's neck and laughed.
The girl stood up and looked at Blink.
"I'm most grateful for you to helping him!"
"Oh, you're welcome!" Blink smiled.
"I wish, there was something I could do to even it out." The little boy reached out for Blink to be hold by him. Now that Blink looked at him he looked around three.
"How old are you?" He asked as he took Luke from the girl.
"I'm this old." Luke smiled proud and hold up three fingers. Race and Blink laughed at the boy.
"He's cute!" Race ruffled the Boys hair.
"I know." The girl smiled shyly.
"By the way, my name's Racetrack Higgins and this is Kid Blink."
"I'm Anna Matthews." Race took her hand and tried to kiss it but as soon as she noticed it she pulled her hand away.
"We have to go now, Luke come on."
"But I want to stay with them!"
"Luke!" Anna took her Basket and reached for the boys hand.
"Come on let's go." Luke shook his head and seemed to cry if he couldn't stay with Race and Blink
"We could walk you home." Blink offered. Now Luke smiled again. Anna sighed and nodded.
"Okay, I don't think I could get him away from you in any other way." Luke's smile grew.
"Okay, let's go then." Race said and walked of. Suddenly he turned around.
"Oh, where do live?" Blink and Anna couldn't stop laughing. The walked a few Streets and were getting close to the lodging house when Anna walked to a door and opened it. Luke was sleeping in Blink's arms.
"Maybe it was a little bit to exciting for him today." Blink looked at him. Anna walked in and let Blink and Race in before she closed the door.
"Three stairs up the right door." Anna said and walked behind the boys.
When they was in her flat Anna took of her scarf from her head and a flood of fiery red curls fell down her back.
"You can lay Luke down on the sofa." She said to Blink and he had problems to nod and lay Luke down, because that meant to look away from her. She was beautiful with her red hair and her brown eyes.
"May I ask you. Is Luke your son?" Race brought Blink back into reality.
Anna blushed and looked confused at Race.
"Why?"
"Well, it's just. It seems like you live alone here, without parents, and so I guessed." Anna sighed and sat down in a chair.
"Yeah, Luke is my son."
"Wow, how old are you?"
"Turned eighteen three months ago."
"Where's the father?"
"Yeah, and your family?" Anna thought she was crazy, she just met these guys an hour ago and now she was about to tell them her live? Well, they were the only one who were really interested.
"My father throw me out, when he noticed I was pregnant. My mother didn't say anything.
And my brother didn't care. So I had to get me a job with fifteen in a factory and get this flat."
"And Luke's father? Didn't he help you?" Anna said nothing.
"Anna? You know who the father is right?" Blink shoot Race a look which said Shut up! Are you insane?
Anna looked angry at him.
"I know exactly who the father is!"
"I'm sorry!" Race was remorseful. Blink laid his hand on Anna's shoulder.
"Anna?"
"His name's Delancey. Oscar Delancey."
