The next morning they woke up real early. The sun was just about to rise when they were getting up from the floor. "I wished we could wash ourselves here, but I don't think the city will leave the water on a house they don't use since over five years." Brandy said while she walked towards the old bathroom. "We also have to clean the whole house if we wanna stay here longer." Flame said behind the honey-blonde girl while her blue eyes looked around in the dirty room. "This will be a long day!" sighed a small blonde and let herself fall on a chair which cracked slightly before it broke and left the girl sitting on the floor. "Damn this rotten hole of a house! And this goddamn chair! Why did those fucking orphanage not have any good chairs that would last some more years!" (By the way, her name was Curse, I guess, you know why ;p) Now, Nightshade thought it was time for her to clear this chaos. She walked up to one of the windows and looked it over. With some cardboard or wood, it should work for the broken glasses for now. She looked down in the alley and saw something that made her smile. "I'm hungry!" Icicle, the youngest of the girls cried out holding her stomach. "Stop acting so childish! You're sixteen, for God's sake." Fight said. "But I'm still hungry! Night!!!" Nightshade's smile faded and she sighed before she turned towards 'her' girls and looked at them. "Icicle, you'll go with Dagger, Dash and Pokerface. Get something for breakfast for all of us." She throw some coins at Dagger and the blonde caught them easily. Nightshade know it wasn't enough for eat for all of the twenty girls, but she also know that each of them ha her own ways of getting something to eat. "Snake, Hazard, Bone you're coming with me." "Were are we going?" asked a black haired girl with curious brown eyes. "First, Hazard, we're taking some of the buckets in the bathroom and then, we go down in the alley and take some of the water from our new, dear neighbors." She grinned. "Oh, Speed, Witch, Fury, Flame. You're coming with us. I saw some cardboard we can use for the windows down there and maybe we find some other stuff. The rest of you can start to look around here in the house to see what we can still use and what is rubbish." They made their way to whatever Nightshade had told them to do. The eight of them which went out in the alley took the front door, since it was still almost dark outside. "We have to do something about the door. We need a new lock." Hazard said when they stepped outside. Nightshade nodded. "Fury?" She looked over at the brown haired Italian girl. "Naturalmente." She smiled knowing what her friend was up to. They walked back into the alley and while Snake, Hazard, Bone and Nightshade get the buckets filled with water, Speed, Witch, Fury and Flame took some cardboard. They walked back inside and upstairs. One of the buckets they used to clean their faces up very fast. They decided that they would need more after they cleaned up completely. Brandy came upstairs with some pots and pans in her arms, followed by Curse who held some bowls, inside of them she carried spoons, knifes and forks. "Hey wait for us!" Curry ran after them in her hands a pile of plates and South had a box full of glasses and cups. "Well, do you think we can use this?" Curry asked smiling brightly. "Sure, as soon as the whole stuff is cleaned." Nightshade looked around in the room. "Okay, we have eight buckets of water. I say at first we do the water of two buckets into the washbasins of the bathroom, so we can get this stuff cleaned." "We'll make it. Just give us the water." Brandy said. Snake walked into the bathroom taking her two buckets and let them into two washbasins. "Okay, Raven, Whistle, can you clean the windows that aren't broke?" The two girls nodded and took another bucket as well as some old clothes they had found in the washroom. There were more clothes and towels lying on a pile on the floor. "We're taking the kitchen." Witch said and Speed took one of the buckets of water and also a cloth and a towel. "For the floor." She said when she took the towel. "Okay, I can clean the stairs." Sneaker said. "And I'll take the lobby. One bucket will make it for both." Flame said while she also took a towel. "Three buckets left. What do we need?" "Well, the floor in here and in the single room." Snake answered Hazards thinking. "I guess it's better when we wait with the floor in here till were ready with anything else." "I'll clean the single room later. First we have to look for the windows." Nightshade said. "And for the serraturra !" Remembered Fury. "Right, the lock. Okay, Fury let's go!" They left the house and made their way through the streets searching for a shop. "Hey." Fury pointed towards a shop with a sing in from of a key above it's door. The shopkeeper was just about to open when the two walked in. The man watched them carefully. The young people here in Brooklyn were nothing but trouble. He tried to remember every detail of the girls. They were both wearing black pants, tight pants. One of the two, who had two brown braids wore a tight gray tank top and a blood red short sleeved shirt over it. The other one, a girl with wild red hair wore completely black. A tight black top as well as a black short sleeved shirt. They looked around at all the keys never touching any of them. Then suddenly the brown haired stepped towards him. He could see her blue eyes sparkle. "Excuse me Mr. Can you help me? I'm searching for a special lock." She asked him in a thick Italian accent while she leaned forward letting him have a very good look at her beasts. Another thing to remember about the girls, the tops let look very deep. Fury know that this old guy was looking directly at her breasts and that was just what he was supposed to do. In the meantime, Nightshade had taken one of the locks and two matching keys and put them in the small bag she had around her waist well hidden by her shirt. Then she walked casually up to Fury. "Let's go, there ain't nothing like we need it. She said looking the old man in front of her up and down and made a disgusting face. "You should go somewhere, where nobody can see you and take care of your little friend down there!" She nodded at his pants. It was obvious that he had enjoyed Fury's look very much. The two girls left the shop and walked back to their new house through many alleys and side ways. "Do you have it?" "Of course." Nightshade pulled out the lock and handed it to Fury. "wow, that's emergere work!" She looked it over. "Yeah, probably made for some rich snob, but I think it's more important to keep us save from guys like him than to keep some property from some rich guys save!" Nightshade smiled.
