Jack and Spot walked along together after they had finished selling their papes. They were chatting about the people they had sole to and the crappy headlines, when Spot turned to Jack and said, "By the way, where's Randy?" carelessly, as if it didn't matter to him in the slightest, when in fact, it did very much.

Jack hesitated; he hadn't told Spot that Randy had sold with David today. He had seen the look on Spot's face yesterday when David and Randy had just exchanged a few words and a smile. And now, when it was getting dark, they weren't even back yet from selling. But, he knew that Spot would get the truth out of him in the end. "She, uh, she sold papes wid Dave today." He said trying to pass along the subject swiftly. But of course, no such luck.

"What are you talking about?" yelled Spot.

"Well, I guess Dave asked her if she wanted to sell wid im', and I guess she said yes." replied Jack.

"And you let them stay out this late!?!? Who knows what they could be doing?"

Jack smiled. "Since when do you care? And besides, Randy can take care of herself Spot. And you know she isn't interested in love in the slightest."

Spot acted as though he hadn't even heard him. "We're going to find them, come on."

Jack followed Spot as Spot set off at a run, glancing everywhere he went for possible signs of Randy. The whole time jack yelling out to Spot, trying to persuade him to leave it alone. "Come on Spot, I mean, what exactly are you planning to do if you find them? You can't just.." The words died on his lips as Spot stopped in front of Tibby's, the newsie's favorite restaurant. Because there, seen through the window, were Randy and David, laughing and eating.

And they were sitting next to each other.

Not that they had any choice due to the booth structure, but neither one seemed to absolutely despise the situation. Spot barged into Tibby's, rage strewn on his face. David and Randy didn't even look up when the door Spot had swung open banged into a wall. They were to busy deciding what kind of shake they wanted.

Spot stormed over to their booth. "Just, what, do you think you are doing?"
