The next day I woke up, Race's arms around me, and felt so happy and
secure. I stretched and yawned. He grunted then tightened his arms around
me. I laughed and it looked to be the beginning of what I thought was to be
a good day.
"Anthony." I said than wondered why I had said that.
"Brin." he replied sleepily.
"Why de ye think were usin oua real names?" I asked.
"Dunno, ye started it." he said.
I snuggled my head on his neck. "Are ye sellin t'day?"
"Yea." he replied though not moving.
"I wanna go wid ye." I said, "I haven't sold fer days."
"No I whudden't let ye, whudd if de DeLancy broddas saw ye? Deyre still lookin, its only been three days since, well you know." he said.
I knew, since I had been kidnapped. Yea he had a point.
"Why don ye go te Manhattan an Sheepshed t'day?" I suggested. "Ye haven't been able to go because yer always carin fer me."
"But whudder ye gonna do all day?", he asked.
"Well me an Bailey are gonna teach Angel how te fight or at least throw a few good punches. Should be interestin." I laughed.
He laughed too. "Well I think I will go te Sheepshed and back te Manhattan t'day. An as much as I'd like te see Ang fight, I'll pass." he told me. "When are dey comin ova?"
"Soon, afta deyre done sellin. An yer late." I reminded him.
"Damn, I was hopin ye whuddent say dat." he said though he didn't look all that mad about it. He got out of bed and left the room. A minute later he came back and kissed me.
"I guess I'll be gone all day den. Have fun wid Bailey an Angel," he chuckled. "Make sure dey don't get inta a fight."
When I looked confused he laughed," I was jus jokin."
"Don lose yer shirt ok?" I said teasing him.
"Don count on it," he chuckled again. "At least I know yer safe hea." And with one last smile, he was gone.
A few hours later Bailey and Angel walked into the room.
"Hows yer nose?" I asked Angel.
"Its ok, still a little sore." she replied.
"So are ye ready?" Bailey asked Angel a little impatiently.
"Uh, I guess." she replied.
Bailey pretended to cry, "I've waited for this for such a long time," she said with mock sniffles.
"Geez, yer jus like Jack." I commented.
"Oh lets just get on with it." Angel rolled her eyes. "I want te be able te beat some Crypt ass by de time we leave t'day."
I laughed, then we got started.
So we first decided it was a good idea to teach her the basics: how to throw a good punch, one that will hurt your opponent but not your hand, well too much anyway. I taught her my favorite, a right jab then Bailey showed her, her specialty, a left hook. Then we worked on other defense techniques that worked well but didn't require too much muscle. Angel caught on quick and wasn't too bad but as Bailey said,"Afta all, she is me sister."
A little later we decided to take a break so we got some water and flopped down on the bed in my room. We were all talking and I thought I heard a creak sounding like a floorboard. "Did ye hea sumthin?" I asked them. We listened quietly for a minute but there was no other sound. "Oh guess not," I said.
"Anyways..." Angel said beginning to resume the conversation. Then all of a sudden the door flew open and crashed on the wall behind it. It was the Delancy brothers and they didn't look all to happy with the three of us.
