Chapter 10- Maggie's mistake.

later that day...

Mr. O'hara frowned to himself as he walked through central park. He almost had her, he was so close... He sat down on a bench. Next to him were two girls who, by the looks of it, were rich.
"Really maggie, and when did you see him last?" said one of the girls. "Just now, violet. And guess who was with him?" maggie said.
"who?" "That girl Diahan. and she was..." maggie said as she leaned close to violet. "Pregnant!"
The girl gasped and shook her head. "Really, I can't believe you ever went out with trash like that newsie!"
"Excuse me ladies, I couldn't help but over hear your conversation." Said mr. o'hara. Maggie turned to him and sneered. Violet got up and left. "Yes...?" maggie asked.
"Did you by any chance, say Diahan?" he asked. "yes.. why?" "She is my daughter and i have been, uh, looking everywhere for her" "oh really..." maggie said, a smile growing on her face.
"You see, I have some family 'business' to take care of with her. Do you know where she is?" "Yes, she is staying with and old, friend, of mine at the Duane street Lodging house for Newsboys."
Mr. O'hara hid a smiled evilly to himself. "Thank you, young lady. Now, since you have given me so much information about my, darling, daughter, may I repay you by lunch?" He said, slyly, holding out his arm.
"I don't see why not. By the way, call me maggie." she said, taking it.
