(A/N: This is dedicated to all those who never reviewed my story ()

Blink and Itey walk into the lodging house after a day of work and see Race isn't back yet.

(A/N: Now, this is dedicated to those who HAVE reviewed... Sapphy and Naka.)

"Hey Blink! Over here!" Blink turned to see Itey, who was running over to him.

"Hello Its, whats up?" Blink said, switching the pile of papers in his hand from the left hand to the right.

Itey shook his head, "Nothing, I'm just getting back from Central Park. I was writing my article there." He smiled as he held up a piece of paper.

"Your working for Hunters to?" Blink said, as he and Itey entered the lodging house.

Itey nodded, "Yeah, it's kinda funny... before long all of the newsies will be writers... and there won't be anyone to sell papes."

"That's why they start hiring people, and paying them more, to bring the papes door to door. And they have newspaper stands." Blink started to laugh, "And those cool little machines that are like this tall." He put his hand by his waist, "and they put quarters in and take out a pape. Can you imagine that? One whole quarter for a pape. I wish I got a quarter for a pape. We's be rich!"

Itey hit Blink over the head, "Your psycho."

"Your right, people wouldn't buy papes if they cost a quarter. They wouldn't have enough money... at least not in this decade." Blink smiled, as he put some money onto the counter to pay for his bed.

Itey doing the same thing walked up the stairs with Blink into the lodging where everyone was standing.

"Whats up?" Itey asked.

"Race is missing..." Jack answered, approaching them.

"Again? Did Spot and I leave him in the future?" Blink shook his head, "No, we've only taken Race to the future that once... is he still out in the gutter?"

"Me and Mary Sue saw him in the alley... he looked like he was playing cowboys and Indians or something." Mush said holding onto a box, Mary Sue.

"What do you mean Mush?" Skittery questioned from his bed.

"He was tied up... With a lollypop in his mouth to keep him quiet." Mush said patting the box, then hugging it.

"Wait... where did you see him?" Jack asked walking over to the boy.

Mush shook his head, "Down in Long Island somewhere..."

"What were you doing in Long Island Mush! It's dangerous there!" Blink yelled.

"Don't worry about that now Blink, we gotta go find Racey!" Spot said jumping from the bed and heading out the door.

Blink grabbed onto Mush's arm as everyone headed out the door, "Answer me Mush." He said looking into his eyes.

Mush's, forgetting to grab Mary Sue, eyes watered, "Looking for you... you said that's where you and Spot were going!"

"In the future you loser... now come on we got to go before everyone leaves us..."

The crowd of newsies stopped in front of Jack stopping Mush and Blink at the door.

Jack's voice was heard clearly, even in the back, "Only a few of us can go... Spot and I have already volunteered."

"I'll go!" Blink called out, raising his hand. Mush looked at him then did the same.

"Alright, anyone else?" Jack called out, Skittery, Itey and Snitch raised their hands. "Okay the seven of us will go. The rest of you... stay here."

"I hope he remembered the sandwich I packed him yesterday... the one I gave him in a small bag..." Snitch said running up to join the other six, as they walked down the street.

A/N: The search is on... what do you think... Honestly I think Race can take care of himself... as long as he's the way he is and everything :D
