Ch. 4

Jack continued leading them through Manhattan and finally stopped at a statue surrounded by guys laughing and joking around. They stopped when they noticed him standing there. He smiled as they all surrounded him and started chattering. He kept trying to talk over them until finally he put two fingers in his mouth and whistled shrilly. They all stopped and stared at him.

"Ok guys, I need your help! This here is Scatter, and she's looking for her twin sister. They got separated a week ago and she is desperate to find her!

Scatter, this is Race, Blink, Crutchy, Bumlets, Snipeshooter, Swifty, Mush, Skittery, Boots, Pie Eater, Snitch, and Davey."

They all waved as they were introduced and she smiled back. They all turned to Jack as he started talking again.

"Ok, I want you guys to split up and look for a girl identical to Scatter."

I'm gonna stay here and Spot is gonna go with Scatter. The rest of you can either lok in pairs or by yourself. If you find her, bring her right back here.

Come back here in a hour either way."

They all nodded and headed in separate directions. Spot and Scatter headed east walking down alleys and checking in empty warehouses. Spot could tell she was upset, as he studied her out of the corner of his eye. He prided himself on being able to read people. He sensed there was something she was holding back from everyone but he didn't want to push her about it. She would tell when she was ready. They continued searching for the rest of the hour then they started heading back. They made it back to the statue and Jack turned to them smiling, as he stepped aside revealing a mirror image of Scatter.
