Chapter 12-Time For Another Change Of Scene
Slick couldn't stay in Manhattan or Brooklyn, at least not as long as Slider and Snake were out there looking for her, she knew that. And though it pained her to do it, she knew she had to do what she was best at for the safety of her friends. It was time for another change of scene. With the hope that someday they would forgive her, she snuck out, possessions and all, and ran.

Blink stared at the empty bed, he did his best to try and imagine Slick's sleeping form in it, but it was no use. "So she left." A quiet voice said breaking the sleeping silence.
Blink looked up, in the bunk across from Jack he saw a figure sitting up and staring too at the bed vacated by Slick. "Will she be back?" He whispered, his eyes returning to the bed.
"Not likely, but, all in all it's good she left."
Sighing, Blink looked up at the open window and the city beyond, "I's gonna miss 'er Sly."
Sly nodded, "Me too." He whispered before lying back down. It was good she'd left, they didn't need a repeat of that spring night, Slick was doing the right thing, he wished his best for her, and hoped he'd see her again someday.
***********
Slick didn't know how long she'd been running, streets and boroughs had run together in her mind, all she knew was that she had to get away from Manhattan and Brooklyn. She had vague memories of crossing the Brooklyn Bridge, but it was now near dawn, and she figured she was far away from there. Cuts from her fight with Slider started bleeding again, and her pain was doubled, there was no way she could keep this up. Slowing down Slick struggled to remain on her feet, the pain was white-hot in its intensity. A figure suddenly pushed by her, causing her to lose her balance and fall, the last thought that went through her mind, was her amplified head pain as her head came in rapid contact with the concrete. Then all was black as she fell once again into blissful unconsciousness.
