-Please Don't Go So Fast-
Chapter Three
[A Little Bit of Heart and Soul]
So before we hit the sack for a night, I decided to tell him my story, so he could tell me his. So I told him how my mudda used to beat me and I ran away. Yeah, grab a tissue…I'm over it. Anyways, he tells me that he was abandoned with his sista after she was born. Her name's Mackenzie and he'd been goin' between every orphanage in all of New York City. So he decided he needed ta get out. And she needed to get a job, but he wanted to find one first. After explainin' all of dat, we went to bed.
The next mornin' he realized how foul the boys smelled in the mornin'. It's somethin' you get used to. So we goes to the nuns in the street to get some breakfast, and we hear the voice of an angel. She was lookin' for Patrick. I wish I were Patrick to have a mudda like that. Insteada sellin' papes that day, we went to the orphanage on 6th street, where Mackenzie last was.
I went up to da lady at the front desk, Crutchy couldn't because she coulda made him stay. And Mackenzie left the day after her brother did. So she was out roamin' the streets of my city. Crutchy was so scared, he got all wimpery. But, shhhhh, we won't tell anyone to help his reputation! So I told him that I would help him get his sista back. And we'd find her no matter what it took.
