As Bailey led us to an abandoned building she paused, took a deep breath, then walked in. I wondered what was on her mind, then I realized we were not just finding the Delancey brothers. Looking around I could smell the blood everywhere. This is where the Crypts were, the place they had murdered people before, their hideout. Crypt members were everywhere.

"Look, I dunno bout dis." I whispered to Doodles and Bailey as they headed towards the Delancey's.

"It'll be fine." Blink said when he heard me. "Besides if anythin goes wrong. I'm hea." He said putting an arm around me.

"Well well, loookit whudd we got hea." Oscar said looking Bailey up and down. "Ye surre yer in de right place sweets."

"Oh positive." Bailey said with a look of disgust. "Delancey's we gotta have a talk wit youse two." Bailey said as nice as she could.

"I think ye came te de wrong place if ye just wanna talk." Morris piped in.

"Give it a rest." Bailey sighed. "We gotta deal te negotiate. Whudd ye say?"

"Gimme a minute." Oscar said pulling Morris off to the side. For a few minutes we just stood there them whispering back and forth. "We will on one agreement." Oscar announced

"Whudds dat?" I questioned.

"Dey is comin widd us." Oscar said pulling two people out of the crowd who I noticed.

"And I think it would be nice if lil' Angel hea stayed behind. If we come back with anythin such as a scratch, dey'll kill er."

I looked at Bailey. "Fine."

"Whudd!?" me and Blink said at the same time.

"Look we'll be back in a sec so sit tight." Bailey said shrugging it off.

"Bai we can't trust em!"

"Excuse me?!" a big man said coming from the big group around us.

"Calm yerself Angel. I said let me do all de talkin." Bailey said grabbing me by the arm. "Hea ye stay right, hea. An we'll be back before ye can say 'Carryin de banna.'"

As soon as they left, I immediately felt very uncomfortable. In a room full of killers with just my wimpy self. A few of them lingered around me till one came up to me.

"Well well, lookit youse. I've seen ye 'round before. De question is whea." He grinned. His teeth were all rotted and he was bald. Yet he was very muscular and I cringed when he grinned.

"S'matta." Another one asked, "Lil goily scared?" he asked walking around me in a circle.

"Oh I think I remmeba whea I saw her now. She was dat goil dat de friend of de Delancey's hates." He said grabbing me by the arm. "I hea she'd fetch a pretty penny now dat he wants te kill er wit his own hands. I say, we don give er back but sell her te dat kid."

"S'cuse me, I think yer-"

"Shud yer trap!" the second goon said backhanding me.

As I fell to the ground I instantly reacted. I got up and knocked the one closets to me in the jaw. "Crap! I knew it wasn't a good idea!" I yelled now running towards the door. I noticed a bunch of the members started to chase me out of the building. "Bai!! We gots trouble!" I yelled running.

"Really, like I didn't notice." I heard Bailey said as I rounded the courner. She had Oscar by the collar and he was on his back. "Remeba whudd I told ye." She warned. "Alright let's go!"

"Whudd de hell!" I yelled haulting to a stop seeing the sight. "Ye were gonna put me in danga anyways!" I yelled at her

"I knew ye could make it outta derre alive." She winked.

"Derre she is!" I heard someone being me yell.

"Alright we gotta go! Werre wastin time!" Blink yelled pulling me by the arm.

We ran down a few streets and decided we could loose them if we went through some weird alley that led us to a bunch of old buildings. "Alright I say we hide in hea till derre gone." Doodles said hiding behind some crates.

"Look if we don get back soon Spots gonna notice I'm gone an R.T. is gonna get a beatin!" I said frustrated. "An me own sista left me wit de Cyrpts!!"

"Look, I knew ye weren't stupid enough te just stay derre. Besides dey know us, I just didn think it was dat easy lurrin out de Delancey's."

I didn't say anything because I was stupid enough to stay. I looked at Blink for some help but he just shrugged.

"Wait, yer not sayin.. ANG! Ye know betta den te stay in a room alone wid em!" Bailey yelled.

"I was only doin what Ise was told!" I yelled.

"Shhh! Lookit, derre dey are." Doodles said pointing in the direction of the way we came.

Just as Doodles pointed out a few Crypt members noisily stomped through the alley yelling. For a few minutes we all froze, yet probably only me in fear. Bailey noticed and grabbed my hand as the Crypts looked around for a few minutes. One of them got close, very close. Turning over crates, there were three crates in front of the ones we were behind and he stopped there. Then they turned and went down another alley.

"Ye ok?" Bailey whispered and waited for my nod before leading the way back out to the street.

We arrived at the Lodging House as fast as we could. Climbing back up the emergency ladder I heard Spot's voice at the door of the roof. He was on his way out to the roof just we are got back. Just as he was on his way out, he cracked open the door but someone stopped him momentarily giving Blink and Doodles the chance to get on the roof with me and Bailey.

"Good timin." Bailey said to Spot as he came out on the roof. "We just finished oua story." She smiled and left with Doodles and Blink to go back inside.

"Ye know I really wanna believe them." Spot said giving me a look once they closed the door.

"But?" I asked giving him my best smile.

"But, I know it was Bailey an Blink I saw soakin de Delanceys. De only question is, Why were dey soakin de Delanceys?" Spot asked with a smirk.

"Well.." I tried.

"I know dat face o' yers. Whudd have ye been doin?" Spot said tapping his foot.

"Ok I swea, it wasn't me fault. Bailey even said she'd take de blame. I really had no choice but te go!" I said pleading with Spot. "An I mean we had some trouble wid de Crypts but we got away. Besides nothing majoa happened."

"Really?" Spot said then taking a hand and wiping something from my face. "Den why were ye bleedin?"

Then I remembered one of the Crypts had hit me on the face. "Um, like I said it wasn't majoa."

"Alright, c'mon I think we need a talk." Spot said leading the way to my room. As we came into the bunk room Bailey saw what was up. "Don' ye try te get her outta dis one!" Spot said to Bailey when he noticed she was walking our way.

"Really but it wasn't her fault. Me an Doodles practically dragged her." Bailey pleaded.

"Bai, dun worry bout it. I kinda had it comin, I think." Spot held the door to my room open for me. "We'll talk lata."
