Chapter 23:

"Hey Spot where's Dolly?" Race asked realizing his girlfriend wasn't in the bunkroom during poker night. Spot shrugged his shoulders and continued playing.

"I think she up on the roof," Books told Race. "Ha ha ha ha ha Who beat you Conlon? Who? come on say it. Who beat you?" Books collected her pile.

"Oh shut up Books." Spot threw his cards and got up. "I'm out."

"See that's why my rule has always been girls shouldn't be allowed at poker night. Because they always win and then rub it in your face." Books laughed at Jack's comment.

"No just me, when I bat the 'best' poker player of all times." Books stood up and walked out of the bunkroom.

"She's a tough one," race commented.

"Yeah tough and gorgeous," Spot added.

"Dolly where the fuck you've been all night.? You missed one great time. Where were you?" Fire came around the corner and saw Dolly lying on her bed crying." Dolly." Fire rushed over to Dolly and sat next to her. "Dolls what's wrong? Did Clash do something to you? Did he?" Dolly sat up and looked at Fire.

"I feel so dirty. I can't ever get it back. Oh Fire." Dolly hugged Fire and Fire hugged her back. "He rapped me." Fire tightened the hug with Dolly.

"That son of a bitch. I'll get him for this Dolly. I swear I will."

"No he's sixteen and your twelve. You stand no chance. Just forget it Fire. Anyway you got to protect yourself sop one day you can get Jimmy back."

"We got to get out of here. Clash will be here tomorrow probably. " Fire broke the hug from Dolly. "We can't seem to stay in one place for then a week." Dolly laughed a little.

"Where will we go?" Dolly asked as she started packing her stuff.

"Somewhere."

"Ever think of getting out of New York and starting our lives over?"

"Are you shitting me Dolly? I'm a New Yorker. This is my life." Fire walked over to Dolly. "I promise you that nothing like this will ever happen to you again. I will get that son of a bitch. No one cans top me, even you. You didn't deserve that Dolls. Hey this doesn't count. Your still kind a virgin. Well I mean, you didn't do it willingly."

"Just shut up Fire." Dolly smacked Fire with a pillow. "Let's get going." Fire smiled and the two of them walked out of the old warehouse.

The two girls walk for about a two hours trying to find somewhere to spend the night or a couple of nights. Fire turned to Dolly and smiled. "Now I know why we're skinny. We barely eat and walk all day long."

"You always know how to turn a bad situation into a good one." Dolly put her arm around Fire. "We will walk until nightfall never stopping, but man I am hungry. Come on last time we ate was what yesterday morning and its now four in the morning. We've gone almost one day without eating. You got any money?"

"Um well you see I was at this party. And I kinda bought drinks…" Fire trailed off.

"You don't seem drunk." Dolly stopped.

"I got mugged. No biggy. So I don't have any money." Fire stopped also. "What you looking at?"

"This warehouse seems like it could do. It's old enough." Dolly started for it but Fire grabbed her back.

"It looks to old. Like its gonna collapse any minute. Let me take a look around." Fire ran inside and shouted out the window. "Don't follow me because if it clasped then we both die. That would suck." Dolly just shook her head and laughed. Dolly sat on the sidewalk waiting for Fire to come out. About a half a hour later Fire came out. "Good stuff. Just needs a tiny bit of work. Then it will be like home."

"Yea right, us do work. We'll be out of this place in one week. So why do work?" Dolly threw Fire's stuff at her. "Lets get inside."

"Yea uh-huh boss around the short one. The short one is hungry." Fire threw her stuff down in the warehouse. "Come on Dolly, we can pick out rooms when we get back. The Diner, that we passed on the way here, is probably open. Its about five. Where are we anyway Dolls?"

"Oyster Bay."

Dolly sighed and looked up at the stars. "Good times right Fire."

"She's not dead." Dolly turned around and saw Race standing there.

"She's as good as dead. I'm never gonna see her again. She could be dead. We don't know do we Race? She could be lying in so fucking alley beaten. She could be floating in some water. We don't know anything. I should be there with her. She was there for e so many times and I was there for her so many times but now I ain't there. We are suppose to be there for each other. I'm not there." Race wrapped his arms around Dolly' waist. "What if she's hurt."

"We'll never know but just believe she's okay."

"No I wanna know if she is okay. I wanna know if I should be visiting her grave or not. Race you knew this girl since she was six. You should care about her more. None of you guys care about her. You know she use to talk non stop about you guys. All the time." Dolly broke free from Race and went to the fire escape. She climbed down and went inside.
