They entered the bunkroom some time later. Blush had managed to regain her composure and the only sign of her tears was left in her red rimmed eyes. Upon entering, they found all of the boys clustered around on unfamiliar face - that is, until Blush got a good look.
"Sharkey!" she gasped, and seeing the look in his eyes rushed to his side at once.
"What's wrong? What's happened?" she asked urgently.
"Blush, it's Spot." She went white as a sheet. Sharkey continued,
"He got hurt in the fight wit' Harlem, an' he wouldn't let anyone take care a him - you know how he is. Anyways, now he's a lot woise, an' I don't think that he's gonna make it much farther wit'out - "
Blush didn't even wait to hear the rest of it. She ran to her bunk, grabbing wildly at her clothes, already blinded by tears. Jack, understanding her purpose without needing an explanation, did the same and was standing by the door when she rushed over to him. He smiled at her, but she could see the fear in his eyes. It had to be bad, if Sharkey was here of his own accord. He was normally too afraid of the tough leader of Brooklyn to so much as breathe without permission, and he had made the trek all the way across the city without Spot's consent - it had to be really bad. Blush turned suddenly and ran back to the boys. Kissing each of them hurriedly on the cheek, she paused to gasp "Thank you!" to Sharkey before rushing out the door. Jack tipped his hat to them, half smiled, and followed her.
"Take care of our sweetie, Jack." Racetrack half-whispered as the door closed. "Keep her heart safe."
AN: okay, so two issues to address :
a) the UNBELIEVABLE cornyness of that last line...I'm truly sorry. I wanted Race to have SOME part in this cuz I love the little gambler, but *ouch* that line almost hurts...to all you Race fans, I'm sorry. Go read "bad odds", it's my race fic, and while it won't necessarily make you like him any more, it's a MUCH better representation of him. *sigh*
b) the really cruelly short length of this chappie - there's more coming. In fact, I'm uploading more probably as we speak - so go read it! And REVIEW!!! :)
