"Would ya mind if i kissed ya?" asked Spot.
"Didn't stop ya da foist time" laughed Sunshine.
Spot smiled and kissed her. Sunshine felt shivers running down her
spine as his hand caressed the back of her neck.
"Where's Spot?" asked Smirks as she paced the floor of the Lodging
House "And Malice?"
"Malice is visiting Rae's grave" said Keys "Poor kid"
Smirks smiled sadly. Her young Italian friend had been madly in love
with the Manhattan spitfire. Malice, who had gotten his name for his
fierce fighting style had fallen hard for Rae Kelly. It had broken
his heart when she died and even more when Jack had accused him of
killing her.
"How could ya say sumptin like dat?" Malice had asked as he valiantly
kept the tears from rolling down his face.
"Oh Come on, Everyone knows dat you two had been fightin" Stress had
hissed.
"I loved her" he whispered.
"Shoah ya did" said Jack "Look what ya did, ya killed her. She meant
da woild to us and ya killed 'er"
"Git da hell outta 'ere Cowboy" Spot had said his eyes filling with a
fury unseen when directed at Jack. "Ya aint welcome 'ere no more"
"Fine Conlon, stay 'ere and defend ya murderin friend"
That had begun the rift between the two most powerful bouroughs in
New York City.
Sunshine looked over at Spot and giggled.
"What so funny?" he asked.
"I was jus wonderin how ya got dat name?"
"I aint tellin"
"Please" said Sunshine sticking out her lip.
Spot laughed and shook his head.
"All right. Da leada of Brooklyn when I became a newsy gave it to me"
he said laughing at the memories "Cause I was jus a little Spot of a
thing"
"If ya want ta keep ya feahless leada position, ya should keep dat
story underwrapped."
Spot laughed.
"How'd ya get yours?" he asked.
"Blink gave it to me" said Sunshine "he said my smile was slow coming
like the sun rise and when it was finally there it was blinding"
Spot laughed.
"Speakin a da sun. i should git ya home, cause here comes da sun"
said SPot.
He stood up and reached a hand down to help her up. She kissed the
top of his knuckles and they walked back towards the LH. She stood at
the foot of the Fire escape and looked at him.
"Will i see ya again?" she asked.
"Definately" he said as he pushed a golden curl back from her face.
"Good"
He leaned over and kissed her.
"Bye Spot"
"Bye Sunshine."
He watched as Sunshine raced up the stairs and slid through the open
window. He smiled to himself and began the long walk back to bridge.
Racetrack dropped his ciggarete and watched as a familiar shadowy
figure walked away from the alley.
"What da hell!" he whispered.
"Didn't stop ya da foist time" laughed Sunshine.
Spot smiled and kissed her. Sunshine felt shivers running down her
spine as his hand caressed the back of her neck.
