The Eye of the Storm by pixiedust
Chapter 7
Over the next couple of days there was not much activity around the Lodging House. One night Mush and Trouble were sitting on the fire escape talking when Race, Liz, and Blink invited them to go with them to a nearby bar.
"Soah," Mush said, and then climbed through the window pulling Trouble behind him.
"Ya know, youse still need a newsie name," Trouble remarked to Liz as they were walking to the bar.
"Yea," Race said, "if youse is anytin' like Troub heah is when she's drunk, we'se can give ya da oddah nickname we woulda' gived her, if she was oldah when she came."
"Really an' what's that?" Liz asked curiously.
"Flirt," Mush said laughing at the glare that Trouble shot at him.
"Why, what does she do when she is drunk?" she asked
"She flirts wid any guy around her. Its hilarious!" Race exclaimed laughing.
"Haha, okay we'se can awll stop laughin' at me now," Trouble said as she smacked Race and then Mush who was still laughing. Then they reached the bar and went in.
Three hours later. "Okay time ta go home now guys," Mush said as he pulled Blink and Race off of the stools that they were sitting on, drooling over the girls that were performing.
"Aw come on, can't we'se stay a lil' bit longah," Race said, his words slurring together, as he slung his arm around Mush. "I mean, look at does goils Mushy. Couldn't ya juss stare at 'em awll day long? An' den have some fun at night?" he continued winking at Mush.
"Naw, I'se could live widout 'em," Mush said
"Aw, juss cuz youse in love wid Troub don't mean ya hafta ruin our fun," Blink complained
"I ain't in love wid Troub!" Mush protested quickly, a little to quickly though, and Race turned to Blink and stuck out his hand.
"Pay up. I tole ya dat he was." Blink groaned and pulled out the money. Mush scowled at them and went off to find the girls.
He found them standing near the door giggling. He could tell that they were also drunk. 'Great,' he thought, 'Me an' Blink is da only sobah ones. We'se a' gonna hafta drag 'em awll home.'
"Heya Mush," Trouble said still giggling as she spotted him.
"Hey Troub, Liz. We'se goin' home now," he said
"Why?" Trouble whined. She was having too much fun, why did they have to leave now?
"Cuz Jacky-boy'll kill us if we'se get back too late. He's already gonna be mad dat youse two an' Race a' drunk."
"We ain't drunk, juss a lil tipsy," Liz said as she almost fell over.
"Soah, wha'evah youse say," Mush said. Then he felt arms slip around his waist and quickly turned to see Trouble looking up at him seductively.
"Well, well, well," Blink said as he and Race reached Mush and the girls, "What's goin on ovah heah?"
"Nothin," Mush said as he pulled Trouble off, despite her protests.
"Aw, what's da mattah, Mush? Ain't youse havin' fun?" she asked pouting.
"I would be, but youse drunk."
"So?" Trouble asked as she smiled alluringly at him, and when he made no move towards her she began to pout again. Blink shook his head at Mush, laughing, as he pulled Liz and Race out of the bar. Mush sighed and pushed Trouble out the door and they followed Blink home.
