Klutzy stumbled up the steps. He was still in shock. From the fact he had beaten Oscar and from what he found out.

Ani walked out of the kitchen after getting a drink of water. "Klutzy?" She called.

Klutzy stood there, catching his breath. "Ani, you'll never believe what I just found out, and what I just did," he said, still quite shocked.

Ani looked at him. 'Try me." She said curious to what it was.

"Well I found Oscar, ya know? So I started soakin him, makin him wail with pain and all, gettin him for bein da sleazebag dat he is." he started.

Ani stared at him. She had a sneaking suspicion that was what had been going on. "yeah?"

"And I kept on tellin him to admit dat he only loved one thing about Sorrow, and dat he had been cheatin on her and stuff, but he kept on denyin it, so I just kept on soakin him," he continued. "Den I told him ta admit ta murderin and rapin that goil. He admitted to it, but he said somethin about still lovin Sorrow, and dat it was just for woik. And den he told me dat he and Morris were a part of dis, organized group or somethin, with a leadah named Blade!" he said, not being able to spit the whole thing out as well as he wanted to.

Ani's eyes widened. "Please tell me you did not just say dey are involved wid Blade!!!" She said. "Please!"

"Dey are," he said.

Ani groaned. "He's...oh my God...she...oh boy..." She tried to speak but couldn't. "This is so not good."

"What? What's with dis Blade? I nevah hoid of him before." Klutzy said.

She sighed. "Okay...Real name Giovanni Rostero??"

Klutzy's eyes widened. "Giovanni? Dat's what he goes by now? Dat's him? Oh boy..."

Ani nodded. "yeah exactly. And...his men don't leave except in boxes. And when dat happens a lot of times dere goils are taken wid dem!"

Klutzy looked terrified. "I told ya you shouldn't have let her even be with him at all!" he said loudly. "Ya should've made her......well, ya should've done something!" he said.

Ani sighed. "I tried!! she snuck off with out me knowing! you remember that!!:

Klutzy sighed. "I know. I just wish she never met da guy!" he said exasperatedly.

Ani walked over to him putting her arm around him. "Yeah I know. You and me both. You'd think she'd be safe from him in da refuge..." She smirked a little.

Klutzy raised his eyebrows. "Well, actually..." he said, thinking about it.

Ani looked up at him. "Yea, actually what??"

"She probably would be safe from him in da refuge," he said.

Ani nodded. "But I meant...that's where they met and...." She sighed. "What you want her to go back?"

Klutzy shrugged. "Just a thought."

Ani tuned around. "You love her but you want her to go back do dat place?!"

"Listen, I don't know alright! I just don't wanna find her somewhere dead or nothin! I just thought..." he said, and then he calmed himself down and lowered his voice. "I just don't know what to think or do, okay?"

Ani sighed. "Alright...yeah I now. I don't wanna find her dead either...maybe you should get some sleep and think it over in da morning?" She suggested.

He sighed. "Alright," he said, as he started walking upstairs.

Ani watched him leave. she sighed and sat down on the couch. She was gonna haft to do her thinking tonight. She laid back down propping her feet.


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


Sorrow heard Ani's footsteps the next morning. She quickly rolled onto her stomach and put her pillow over her head.

Pep sleepily looked over at Ani. "I'se got an idea! How bout you let us sleep in today cuz you feel like bein nice!" she suggested as she saw Ani come into the room.

Ani looked at her. "I am?? Is dat tadays headline?? Cause I haven't read it yet but dat definitely would sell da papes."

Pep eyed Ani. "Ani I'm not gettin up! I don't wanna! So pretend you feel like being nice. Fake it. Just don't make me get up!!!" she said.

Ani rolled her eyes. "Fine. Go a head. sleep." She said as she headed over to Sorrows bunk.

Pep smiled as she laid her head back down. She loved getting her way.

Ani sat down on sorrow's bunk, taking the pillow off of her head. "Hey." She said.

Sorrow reluctantly turned a bit."Heya." She said. "Whaddya want?"

"Well um...' She didn't want to be the one to tell her what Klutzy had done or what he found out. "Just wanted to see how you slept."

Sorrow sighed "okay. I guess. Why?"

Ani shrugged. "Nuttin just worried a bit is all."

Sorrow sat up. "Okay something's on yer mind. Now tell me."

Ani took a deep breath. "Okay...last night...while we were working, Klutzy and me hoid some things about...Oscar. Now hear me out. ' she sighed. "They were very bad. The rumour says dat he raped and murdered the Flushings goil.." She said.

Sorrow nodded. "Yeah Pep told me."

Ani looked over at Peppermint. "Oh now did she?"

Sorrow rolled her eyes. "Finish telling me!"

Ani turned back to her. "Well we found out....that it's true. He did...but..."

Sorrow jumped up. "You lie! He would NEVER EVER do something like that!"

Pep immediately sat up in her bed at the mention of her name. She quickly climbed down to the floor and walked over to the two. "It is true?" she asked, not knowing exactly what else to say.

Sorrow shook her head. "No it's not true dis is Oscar we'se talking about here! I can't believe you're accusing him of this!" Pep didn't know what to say. She looked over at Ani.

Ani sighed. "It's true, Sor...I wouldn't lie to you about him."

Sorrow smirked. "You said he had uddah goilfriendS!" She shouted.

"He works for Giovanni!" Ani shouted back.

Sorrow shook her head. "No...He can't stand Giovanni! He's told me himself!"

Ani sighed again. "It's true! I don't' wanna believe it eithah!!"

Sorrow closed her eyes. "I"m finding out meself!" She said storming off. She had slept with her clothes on the night before.

Pep looked at Ani. "Where's she goin?" she asked with a groan.

Ani sighed. "She's off to confront Oscar. God...and Klutzy soaked him last night! Damn it!" She kicked at the bunk.

"He did? Hey, how'd ya find out all this stuff? I mean, about da rumours and all?" she asked.

Ani looked up at her. "Sit down. I'll tell you what happened. Wait on second thought, let's go to my "office" She said.

Pep nodded, and followed her into the "office".
