Racetrack seemed to be in a daze so Blink decided to hit him.
"Hey! What did you do that for?" Racetrack said rubbing his shoulder.
"Those two girls are coming over here." Blink said.
"What are you talking about?" Racetrack replied. He looked up and saw the girl in the orange apron, and the girl in the yellow apron walking over.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Racetrack said as the girls approached their table.
"Can we help you?" the girl with short brown hair said, her eyes sparkling.
"Now that all depends on what we need help with," Racetrack said.
"You'll have to excuse my rude friend here," Blink said. "My name's Blink and this here is Racetrack."
"Oh forgive us," the girl with blonde hair said. "My name's Kaelin, and this is my sister Jessica."
'Jessica,' Racetrack thought. 'What a beautiful name.' He looked back at her. 'She must be a new waitress. I wonder when she started to work here?'
"So," Racetrack said. "How long have you girls been working here for? I didn't know that Medda was looking for more help."
Kaelin looked over at Jessica whose eyes had welled up with tears.
"Excuse me," Jessica said and left the table.
"Sorry about that," Kaelin said sadly. "She still hasn't gotten over our parents death. That's why we are here. Medda is our aunt, and she took us in."
Blink was amazed with how well Kaelin was taking all of this. He decided that he had to get to know this girl better.
"I know this may sound strange, but I was wondering if you would like to go out with me sometime." Blink said, a little embarrassed about asking her so quickly.
Kaelin's face lit up. "I would love to. I have the day off tomorrow. We could do something then if you like." Kaelin's face suddenly fell. "Oh wait. I told Jessica that I would spend the day with her."
"Not a problem," Blink said. "I could bring a bunch of people from the lodging house, and we could all do something tomorrow."
"Hey," Racetrack said. "What about me? I want to go too you know."
Blink laughed. "Of course you're coming. So what time would be good tomorrow?" Blink asked, his attention now back at Kaelin.
"Well how many people are you going to ask? I am sure Jessica, Aunt Medda, and myself could pack a picnic. I just need to know how many people we are feeding."
"Super idea. Well there will be Race and myself, Spot, Chattah, Jack, Busy, Dutchy, and Books. We could all meet at Central Park at about 11:00 am. How's that?" Blink asked getting excited because he would be spending the day with Kaelin, even if there were going to be other people there.
"Sounds great. We'll see you there. Bye." Kaelin said, and walked away.
Racetrack looked over at Blink. "I can't believe you just did that. When a girl comes over that you like, you usually try to hide."
"I guess this girl was different. Well, we better go find those guys and tell them that they're going to a picnic with us tomorrow." Blink said.
The two boys got up, and trudged off to go find the others to tell them the news.

Wheeler and Snoddy were lying on Snoddy's bunk. They had just had sex, and now Wheeler was trying to get from Snoddy where the LH safe was.
"So baby," Wheeler said. "Did you know that Kloppy has a safe?"
"Yup, I knew that," Snoddy said.
"Well I bet you don't know where it is." Wheeler sid, hoping that Snoddy wouldn't catch on to what she was doing.
"I sure do It's in the wall right behind the painting in the office." Snoddy said.
"Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner," Wheeler said, hoping that Saphire had heard him. "For answering that correctly, you get a prize."
"And what would that be?" Snoddy asked smirking.
"You'll just have to see," Wheeler said, her head going down on him.
Saphire heard Snoddy moan. 'That is fucking disgusting,' she thought.
She walked down the stairs and over to Kloppman's office. Kloppman usually went out on nights the boys went to Medda's because he hated it when they came home smashed. Saphire quietly opened the door and closed it behind her. She went over to the picture on the wall and removed it.
'Now if I could only remember the shitty combination.' she thought to herself.
It took Saphire a few tries before she finally got the combination. Saphire opened the safe and saw all the money.
'Jackpot.'
