Chapter 25:
"What the hell do you mean!?" Baby yelled at Coffee, "She ran off! How the hell could you have let her run off? Why did she run off? What did you do!"
The rest of the people at Tibby's had turned to stare at this raging girl. Baby had been yelling about Mandy's disappearance for the last five minutes. She'd run off from Coffee and nobody had seen her since.
"Listen," Coffee said in a feeble attempt at getting one word in edge-wise, "I'm sorry, I-I didn't know she would. . ." Cut off.
"You didn't know she'd run from what? Huh? Let's have it. What did you do to cause Mandy to run out into the streets of Queens, an area she DOES NOT KNOW, and especially when she knows there's some time-hoppin' freak gangster out to get her!?" Baby was getting winded, but that didn't mean that she'd quit just yet. "And why didn't you follow her?" She stopped for a while, waiting for a response. "You can answer me now."
"Well, I-I kissed her." Dumb stares earned for this one. Well, dumb stares all around, save for Ink.
"You did WHAT?!?!" he bellowed. Who'd of thought such a little guy would be so loud?
"It doesn't matter," Baby jumped in, putting a stop to the fight that surely would have started. "What matters now is that we find her."
Ink and Coffee stared each other down, hard, but agreed in the end. They all made there way to the door. Oscar was walking by. Alone.
"Hey Oscar," Ink said in that tone of voice people use to start a fight, "you seen Mandy?"
"Saw her last night. Tried catching her, but she was with this other guy."
"Other. . ." Ink was kind of thrown off by this. All he could think was, 'She's been stringin' along another one?' Coffee's reaction was very much the same. "Hey, why you's givin' is the info. So easily?"
"I don't know. I like to watch you boys squirm?" Oscar said, then soon after regretted it. Without the rest of his gang, he's nothing. Ink and Coffee were on him in two seconds flat.
The fight lasted about ten minutes, broken up by the bulls. They were going to take the three of them into custody, but Ink slipped out of the officer's arms and ran down the street, a lot faster than any New York police man ever could run. Two blocks and he was home free.
"Now, where to go?" He asked himself, already on his way to Queens. Then the thought hit him. What if she don't want to be found? Another struck him. What if she went back to her time? "I need Baby."
He turned and headed back in the direction of Tibby's. Three stories up, watching him, was Mandy. She would have yelled, but something wouldn't allow her to. Might it have been the gag in her mouth?

Woo, yay for shorties. Nuffin' to say, so, shout outs!
Race- Sorry, too lazey to type your full name. Or copy and paste. Or any of that. Thanks for reviewing.
Seraph- Thank you for reviewing. I think that Mandy just may drop into the scenery for a few shorty chapters. I guess you could call that disappearing, sort of.
