Irish Fury, Snuggles, Thanks for reviewing! I was already thinking of removing the story and throwing it in the garbage can. And I won't say anything about which romance(s) will arise ;p You just have to read on and find out.



The next morning, when Nightshade woke up, she took two buckets and walked down in the alley to get some water. When she got back she found Wish already awaken. "Morning." "Mor..ning" Witch yawned. "What time is it?" "Later then yesterday, that's all I know." Nightshade answered and looked out of the window seeing the sun already on the sky. "Let's get something for breakfast." They heard a tired voice from the floor. Since the sheets hadn't been dried the night before, they had to spent another night on the floor. "Icicle?" Witch grinned. "No." Pokerface arose from her place between Dash and Snake and walked up to the two. "Okay, who's the one to do the distraction?" Witch pointed at Nightshade just at the same minute Nightshade pointed at Witch. "Shall I wake Dash?" Pokerface grinned. "No need to, before she gets screaming and cursing in french again, I'm coming with you to do the dirty work." "Morning Dagger." "Yeah, whatever. Can we go?" They left the house taking one of the keys with them letting the other one upstairs next to Hazards head. "We should take another shop then you did yesterday." Witch suggested. The others agreed and they headed into a different direction. Soon they could already see the Brooklyn bridge. "Hey, how about this shop? It gots also some cakes and biscuits." Dagger pointed out. They looked through the window and grinned at each other. "Okay, this old guy should be easy to get distracted." Dagger opened her black jacket and unbuttoned the three buttons of her tight, gray shirt, so that the guy would have a good look at her breasts. She handed her jacket to Nightshade who pulled it on, so she could put enough to eat into the pockets. They walked into the shop and Dagger went directly towards the keeper, beginning to flirt with him, while the other three put as much bread, cakes and biscuits into their pockets. They left the shop and began to walk faster. As soon as the guy snapped out of his trance and noticed that they had tricked him they were already out of sight. "Okay, and now, let's get some fruits and vegetables. I'm in the mood to cook today." Dagger smiled. "Can you tell me how we'll heat something?" "Ah, there's an old oven in the kitchen, a bit wood a match and we can cook." She grinned. Nightshade gave her the jacket back and they went to the next shop. They entered and looked around what they could take when a young man, that was almost still a boy came out of room I behind. Dagger was about to walk up to him, but before she could take a step, Witch stopped her. She nodded in his direction and they watched when the guy walked towards Nightshade which stood near him. "Hello beautiful, can I help you?" Nightshade spun around. She had thought dagger would take the guys and was a little bit surprised to be now faced herself with this one. She smiled up at him sweetly after she recovered from the shock. "Sure, you see, we wanted to make a real good meal for our grandma, it's her birthday, but we don't have much money." She looked up at him with begging eyes, her mouth the perfect pout. "Ah, I guess it won't hurt us to give you some vegetables, hu?" the boy smiled at her and Nightshade blushed immediately, thanks the training of years, looking up at him from under her half closed lids. He packed a bag of vegetables and put also some apples on top of it. "Oh, thank you!" Nightshade gave him a quick kiss on his cheek and winked at him when they left the shop. "Well, if this wasn't a good shopping day!" Witch smiled. "Ah, shut up!" Nightshade said. "Where were you?!" She asked Dagger. "Hey, he was faster and I didn't want to interrupt. Think at our dear grandma!" Nightshade punched her in the arm but soon had also to laugh about their morning. They were on their way back when they passed a boy about their age. He had dark curly hair and a cigar hang out of his lips. He looked at the four girls and was about to walk on after lifting his hat. Then he stopped in mid-track. "Sammy?!" Nightshade and Witch stopped and turned around to face the boy. Their eyes widened and their jaws dropped for a moment. "RACE?!"
