Finding Out
*Back in the Lodging House*
"Royal Flush. Read'em and weep boys." Lucky said, laying his cards down. Race and Sullivan groaned and threw down their cards, as Lucky swept the money in the middle into his lap.
"So what do you guys think of Cecile?" Blink asked curiously.
"Uh-oh. Guy talk. Every girl upstairs to do some gossip, while the boys are down here discussing manly issues." Moth exclaimed in an unusually high voice. She stood up from where she was talking with Rae and Crystal.
"Come on! Move your butts!" Rae yelled as the girls headed upstairs.
"Well now that that's taken care of; what does everyone think of Cecile?" Blink asked again.
"She's gorgeous for one thing." Specs replied.
"Yeah. And she has an amazing voice." Keys added.
"She doesn't seem like she's one of us, does she?" Jack asked. "She has that upper-class air about her. She doesn't speak with a New York accent, either."
"I noticed that too." Race agreed.
"She also seems like she is very understanding and caring." Added Blink quietly.
Mush bounded down the stairs, having been interrupted by the hoard of girls who had taken over the bunkroom. He took a seat next to Lucky.
"Hey Mush." Lucky said.
"Hey. What are you guys talking about?" He asked.
"Cecile. What do you think of her Mush?" Lucky asked.
"What do I think? Um.. The most obvious thing is that she's probably one of the most beautiful goils I've ever seen." All the guys at the table nodded. "Oh. She's also a great kisser." He added as an afterthought. After a second, he clapped his hand over his mouth and looked around. The guys were sitting there with their mouths open. "Crap. I was not supposed to say that."
"What do you mean, she's a great kisser?" Jack asked defensively.
"Is Spot here?" Much asked, looking around nervously.
"No. Now tell us Mush, what did you mean?" Jack asked impatiently.
"Well. Earlier tonight, I was up in the bunkroom and she came and sat down besides me. We talked and then she said that when she first saw me, it was like something clicked. Then, she leaned over and kissed me. When we stopped, she said not to tell Spot or mention it to anyone. So please don't tell Spot ok?" He asked.
"Well Mush. Looks like youse found youseself a goil." Sullivan hooted. "I don't mind that much, even though I had dibs on her."
"You never had dibs on her Sullivan." He shot back angrily.
"Are you serious about all that?" Blink asked, speaking up. Mush nodded while flashing a dirty look at Sullivan. "Look, Mush, I hate to tell you this but she did almost the exact same thing with me."
"You're a liar!" Mush yelled, standing up quickly. His chair fell backwards.
"Mush, sit down!" Jack commanded. "He's not lying." He said softly.
"Woah. Back up Cowboy, how do you know?" Race asked shuffling the cards in his hand.
"'Cause she did the same thing to me too."
"Oh my god. Ise think we just got played." Blink said in amazement.
"If she wasn't a goil, I'd soak her." Mush exclaimed, pounding his fist into his open palm.
"Hey! If she wasn't a goil, you never would've gotten into this mess in the first place." Trouble yelled. The whole room erupted into laughter.
"Ise say we get ourselves a little revenge." Blink said angrily.
"What do you got in mind, Blink?" Jack asked maliciously.
"No!" Lucky shouted. Everyone looked at him. "Wait until Spot gets back, then tell him every little detail of what happened. I don't think he'd take it too well, you guys taking revenge on his baby sister, who he just met less than three days ago. I think he'll want to do something himself."" Everyone nodded. Mush sat down.
"Ok. We'll wait until Spot gets back, then tell him." Jack commanded.
"Sounds good to me." Blink said.
"Me too." Mush agreed.
"In the meantime, how 'bout another round of poker." Race suggested. Heads nodded and Race dealt another hand.
