"Ya see," he started slowly letting his eyes wander around the room, "if we get into trouble in Queens tonight I'm not to sure we can handle it."
"Why wouldn't you be able to?" Blush replied growing more worried with each passing moment. "You all know how to fight; I mean we live in Brooklyn! We'll some of you, but the others are good fighters. I've seen them with my own two eyes!" She said trying to sound confident.
Hustler couldn't help but laugh at the look on his girl's face. She looked so innocent staring up at him with concern in her blue/gray eyes. It was times like these when He knew that she would be the girl he would be with for the rest of his life. He pulled her into a kiss and let her lean her head on his shoulder.
"Hustler come on man!" Gambler called. "We gotta get going!"
"I'm coming I'm coming!" He yelled back, "Just give me a sec." He turned his attention back to Blush, "now I want you to listen closely and do exactly as I say! Got it?"
Blush nodded her head waiting for him to continue…
Blush was immediately brought back to reality when she heard a loud crash coming from the other side of the room. She looked over to see everyone laughing at Spades who was lying on the floor in what looked like a drunken matter. This didn't surprise her; Spades was always known for getting a little two drunk.
"Don't worry!" Spades screamed at the top of her lungs, her words slurred together so you had to strain to understand what she was saying. "I'm alright! Everything is under control! Go back to what you were all doing. Nothing to see here!" She stumbled back to the table and practically fell into the chair next to Tweak.
"You're a real idiot! Ya know that?" Dakota asked Spades.
"Of course I know that!" She laughed hysterically.
All the girls looked at each other and laughed. "Well think of it this way, it keeps her mind off of snitch." Dakota said. The girls just smiled and nodded their heads in agreement.
With the room becoming a little quieter again Blush started to zone out again.
"...If we aren't back by 12 tonight then I want you to get some of the guys and tell them to go and find us at Queens. Then if they don't come back I want you to get everyone, especially the girls and the little ones, and make sure you get out of here. Go to anywhere except Manhattan."
"Why wouldn't you come back?" Blush asked.
"Hustler! Get your ass down here now!" Rambler yelled.
"Alright give me a sec!"
"It's not like your going to do anything dangerous. You're just going there to talk, right?"
"Yeah, but you never know what's going to happen. But ya here me, make sure you do it!"
"But, why do we have to leave? What are we supposed to do if we do leave, just sit around and hope that you all come walking back through those doors, just hope that it took a little longer then we all thought?"
"If we don't come back Queens is gonna want to get their hands on Brooklyn and Manhattan so you gotta stay clear of here. It's important! Promise me baby; promise that you'll do what I tell you!"
"I promise! Just be careful! Next time I see you come through that door I don't want it to be because someone is carrying your dead body back! Ya got that? Don't go trying to be the hero! Stay out of things if you're not already involved!"
"Alright I'll be careful!" He gave her one more kiss before he walked down the stairs to meet up with the other boys. Looking back he smiled at Blush, who was trying to hold back her tears.
It's gonna be okay! She told herself as she watched him walk out the door and disappear into the night.
