Okay, I'm having a little writing-blockade. Hope I made the best out of
this.
Chapter 9: Change of scene
Anna's eyes widened as she read the words and she became very pale. Blink took the letter from her and read it himself. Luke watched from Anna to Blink and back to Anna. He didn't know what was going on here. Suddenly the others came in for their break. They saw Anna and Blink sitting there without saying a word and just looking on the ground while Luke was still very confused. Race walked over to Blink who was holding the letter and cleared his throat. Blink looked up at him his eyes filled with both, Hate and fear.
"What happened?" Mush asked and looked as confused as Luke. Blink gave Race the letter and took Luke from Anna's lap.
"Time for your afternoon nap." Luke didn't protest. He looked to his mommy once more and was asleep as soon as Blink laid him down in bed.
Downstairs the others had read the letter.
"One thing's for sure. We have to find some safe place for you and Luke." Race said.
"WE?"
"Hey, you don't think we would leave you alone now?!" Jack smiled at her.
"So where can you two stay? Your flat is out of choice. And even here is very dangerous." Skittery thought loudly.
"Whole Manhattan is too dangerous." Boots said.
"Brooklyn?" Race looked around.
"No! You can't mean this!"
"Blink!"
"You want her to stay with Spot?! And think about these other bums in Brooklyn!"
"Blink!"
"No Jack! You aren't the boss here anymore. You can't jist come here if you want and sent her away. If you remember, she has got a job here and…"
"Blink. Would you let me talk? Boots is right, Manhattan is too dangerous. Oscar is fury. He will do what it takes to get its goal. Sorry Anna, but you know it's true. It's safer in Brooklyn." Anna looked up and looked around in the faces of the boys. Jack stayed calm while Blink looked like he was going to kill somebody. The others looked down on the floor.
"I don't think this Spot would let me stay at his house after last night. And Blink is right. I have a job which I'm trying to keep. I have to keep me and Luke alive."
"And because of this it would be safer for you to go to Brooklyn. Or do you have any relatives or friends away from Manhattan?" Anna shook her head.
"So I can ask Spot if he would take you two? We'll look for a job in Brooklyn for you, too." Blink jumped out of his chair and ran out of the lodging house. The others sat there and watched him slamming the door. Jack sighed. He knew Blink would understand. He just had to get used to the thoughts.

Blink walked through the streets not sure were he was heading. He couldn't believe the others want her to live in Brooklyn! The guys would just take one look at her and she wouldn't have one calm moment. And Spot? Whether he would he would scream at her again or he would notice what gorgeous girl she was and be the gentleman he became at every girl.
Blink shook his had. How could the others let her stay there. Hadn't she been through a lot already? He suddenly stopped in front of the bakery in which Anna worked. Mrs. Stuart saw him through the window and called him in. She had met him the day he had brought Anna to work. Blink walked in and Mrs. Stuart led him to a small room behind the shop.
"So how's Anna?" Blink told her what had happened and what the others wanted her to do.
"Mmh. Maybe it wouldn't be this bad for her…" Mrs. Stuart thought.
"You know, my brother has a shop in Brooklyn. He's a tailor. I met him a week ago and he told me he had some trouble with his daughter. She doesn't want to work. So maybe Anna could work at my brother's shop and my nice could work here for as long as Anna need to stay away from here." Blink said good bye and went back to the lodging house. He had to meet Jack before he went for Spot.
**************************************************************************** **************************************************************************
"Hey Blink, calmed down?" Jack sat on the steps of the lodging house smoking.
"Hey Jack, I have to talk to you. About Anna and Brooklyn…"
"She's going. I already sent Boots to Brooklyn to tell Spot." Blink's yaw dropped.
"Oh, and you better get ready. I told Boots to say Spot you're comin' this evenin'."
"What you mean with "You"?"
"Anna, Luke and You! You didn't think we would Anna leave alone there?" Jack winked at Blink.
"How did you…?"
"I know you since we're ten. I knew you would come and tell me you would go with her. So now we only have to find a job there for her."
"No, we don't." Blink explained his talk with Mrs. Stuart. After this he went upstairs and get his stuff together. It was around four when the three left the Lodging house and went first to Anna's flat to get her belongings. Which weren't much because most of it, Oscar had destroyed. They went to the Brooklyn Lodging house and when they reached it Luke was asleep in Blinks arms. They opened the door and walked in. Spot seemed to be nowhere. A tall boy around nineteen with black hair and green eyes walked up to them.
"Heya Blink. Spot told us you was comin'." His look fell on Anna and a smile spread on his face.
"And you have to be Anna. I'm Stone. If there's anythin' I can do for you jist say it!" Blink steeped up to Stone.
"You can show us where we should sleep. This boy's getting heavy." Stone nodded and lead them upstairs.
"Where's Spot?" Blink asked as they entered the bunkroom.
"Don't know." Stone lead them to a door on one side of the bunkroom that showed another room. Blink know that on the opposite wall of the bunkroom the door lead to Spot's room.
Stone opened the door in front of them and turned on the light.
"Spot thought it would be okay for you to share the room. At least you're together." Blink and Anna exchanged looks. In Blink's brain there were suddenly a lot of ideas how to give his friends a cruel end of their live. Stone closed the door behind him as he walked back downstairs. Blink laid Luke down in the double bed. And unpacked his stuff. Anna sat down on the bed and watched Luke. She hoped, she'd done the right thing. At least she wasn't alone here.
"I think we should go to bed soon." Blink said in Anna's thoughts. Anna nodded and stand up to go in the small bathroom which was only for their room. She changed in the clothes Blink had given her back in the lodging house in Manhattan to wear at night. She wore an old shirt from Blink which reached almost to her knees and also an old pair of pants. When she walked out blink had already changed. He only wore his long-johns and his undershirt.
"I take the chairs together to sleep in so you can have the bed for you and Luke."
"Don't be silly. The bed's big enough. I usually sleep with Luke in a single bed. Also, what would it look like if someone would come in or have you forgotten that we're together?" She winked at him while she laid down next to Luke. Blink also laid down but on the other side of the bed. Luke slept in the middle while Anna and Blink tried to have as much Space as possible between them.
So what do you think? I wasn't sure if this idea was good but I wasn't sure if I should the story just go on like it was before. So I thought I should just let them stay in Brooklyn. Tell me what you think about it so far.
