Blink's POV
I wonder if any of the guys got any sleep last night because I know I didn't. I don't know why I guess I just got too many things on my mind.
Well Angel is supposed to be here any minute and then we all gotta go see papes. I wish she would hurry up so we can go ahead and leave.
Before I could even finish my thought she came walking through the door but she didn't look the same as she did when she left last night.
She had bruises, cuts, and scratches all over her body. She had a really dark black eye and there was a really deep cut to one side of her neck.
There was also a huge bruise in the shape of a hand on her right arm.
"Angel what happened?" Race asked rushing to her side.
"Nothing. Brad just found out that I left last night and he wasn't to happy about it." Angel said. She said it like it was no big deal, like this kind of stuff happens everyday.
"Well don't worry because he will NEVER hurt you again." Race said as he pulled her into a quick hug.
Race told her our plan with the help of the other guys every now and then and soon we were off to do a good day's work.
It was only a few hours later when Mush saw this man and got really tense.
"What's wrong?" I asked looking over at the man who had caused this sudden change in demeanor.
"That's the man Angel was with the other day." Mush whispered like the man could hear us all the way across the street or something.
"Well I'm sure it's fine. Get back to sellin." I said as I screamed some ridiculous headline.
I hadn't even got the headline out when the man ran over and grabbed me by the shirt.
"Have you seen a girl around here?" He asked with a very deep voice.
"Well sir I have seen a lot of girls walk by." I said trying to get away from his grip but to no avail.
"This one is a beautiful girl. She has dark hair and blue eyes." He said. Man this guy had some bad breath and he was about two inches from my face.
"No sir I haven't seen any that fit that description." I said and he let me go and went over to Mush.
"How about you? Have you seen that girl?" He asked and Mush just shook his head no.
The man went away and asked some more people if they had seen Angel.
"What should we do?" Mush asked when he was out of ear range.
"I think we should keep sellin. None of the boys would say anything." I said picking my papers back up.
"Well what if somebody saw her go in the Lodging House this morning." Mush said. He had a point. Gees why does he always have to be right?
"Alright let's go back to the Lodging House and hide her." I said and we started toward the Lodging House.
When we got there we did not like what we saw. The guy who had asked us where Angel was on his way there as well.
He tripped in a puddle and fell flat on his face right before he got to the door. That was nothing short of a miracle.
We took that opportunity to run in and get Angel to safety. We couldn't think of place where he wouldn't find her and we could hear his footsteps on the stairs.
"I've got an idea!" I whispered and then I threw told Angel to get on a bed and Mush to get on top of her and cover his whole body up.
Man! I should have said that I layed on her!
Oh well what's past is past.
I then jumped in a closet just as he was opening the door.
I heard him walk around the room and prayed to God that he would leave.
"Excuse me." I heard Kloppman say. "What are you doing here?"
YES! My prayers have been answered.
"I was wondering if there was a girl named Angel in here." The man said.
"There are no girls here especially ones named Angel." Kloppman said and then led the man out the door.
I came out of the closet as Mush and Angel got out of the bed.
"That was a close one." Mush said as he wiped a little bit of sweat from his forehead.
"Yeah I know." I said.
Jack's POV
I'm bored. Here I am on my way to Brooklyn to see if Spot will help and I am bored to death!
I should have asked someone to come along and keep me company but I'm too stupid to think of that.
Well I'm almost there now. About five or six more minutes. To my surprise I see Spot just up the road.
"Hey Spot what are you doing here?" I asked as I got up closer to him.
"Well I was coming to visit your ass but I guess your were thinking the same thing." He said and we spit shook.
This is just great! I could have stayed in Manhattan and not walked all this way and gotten bored because Spot was going to come and visit anyways!
"Well actually I was coming to ask for some help." I said.
"Oh yeah with what?" Spot asked as we started walking back toward home.
I explained the whole thing to him and to my surprise he agreed to help without an argument.
"From what you say this girl sounds like a looker." Spot said.
Now I know why he agreed.
"I think your going to have to fight every guy at the Lodging House to get her." I said laughing.
"That would belike takin candy from a baby." Spot said and I just laughed some more.
