Chapter 6
Skye was walking home, depressed, something she had been for a week and a half. She missed Kidblink more than she could say. She missed all the guys at the Lodging House, but it was Kidblink she missed the most. She was walking home, when she accidentally bumped into The Holocaust. "Well, well, well, what's have we's got here?" The leader said. "Looks to me like a goyl lookin' foy trouble." Another one said. "Yeah, Shawn, maybe we should teach her a lesson." The third guy said. Skye was scared to death. She saw an opening and bolted. She ran as fast as she could. She was just about out of the alley when she saw Kidblink. She stopped. Skye didn't realize her mistake until it was too late. Shawn and the others had gotten her again. She screamed. "Kidblink! HELP!" She yelled with all of her might. She kept repeating it over and over. Kidblink obviously heard her, because he came over right away.
Kidblink and Mush ran over to Skye as fast as they could. He noticed that it was Shawn the leader of this section of The Holocaust. He was always making trouble. But Kidblink wasn't about to let him touch Skye. Kidblink ran straight for Shawn, who was about to hit Skye. He shoved him to the ground and started to punch him in the stomach. Finally Shawn managed to kick Kidblink off, but Mush came and started hitting Shawn into the ground. By this time, the other gangsters had left. When Kidblink got up, Mush had Shawn under control. When Shawn kicked Mush off, he got up and lunged for Skye. Kidblink got in his way. "If you touch her, then you'se is gonna regret it foy da rest of ya life." Kidblink said through his teeth. Shawn stopped and stared at Kidblink and then at Mush. After a moment or two, he turned and left the alleyway. Mush went to the opening to make sure that he was really leaving. Kidblink turned to Skye. "Hey sweethoyt. Is you'se OK? I'se was on me way to da boarding house, when I'se hoyd ya screamin'." "Yeah, I'se fine. What's was ya goin' ta da boarding house foy?" "Ta tells ya sumthin'." "What?" "I'se love ya. I'se love ya more den I'se can say." "Really?" "Yeah, really." "I'se love ya too." Mush was walking back towards them, but suddenly turned and walked back towards the alley's opening. He was smiling at the tender kiss being shared in the back of the alley. And for that moment no words were needed.
