Paths

..take a stroll..

[jackle]

Jackle led Spade into the park and took to walking the path. "Here Devil." He called out hoping the dog would be around. He looked back at Spade. "He'll come to you." He shrugged and kept searching.

[spade]

Looking around she searched for Devil. The whole time close to tears, she didn't want him to get hurt and if she couldn't keep an eye on him she didn't think he was safe. She may have been a bit overprotective of Devil, but he was family. The only family she had now. At Jackles comment she started calling him, "Devil."

They had been looking for several minutes and she was close to tears, "What if he never shows up? What if he's laying dead somewhere? What would I do without him? He's all I have left." She walked behind the bush and so no one would see her knelt and cried silently.

[jackle]

Jackle stopped his search and walked to the bush staying on the other side. He knew she didn't want him to see her cry. Like most other newsies. He sighed. "youse just gotta keep hope Spade." He was never good at this sort of stuff. He always go toungue tied.

[spade]

Shaking her head she wiped her eyes. Continuing to look at the ground she mumbled, "He better not be hurt." Fire filled her eyes as she looked up, "And do you want to know why?" She gave him no time to answer, it was a rhetorical question, "Because I'll make sure he doesn't walk ever again."

Spade slowly stood up. Brushing off the dirt and grass that was clinging to her clothes she began to call for Devil again. With more determination then before. She wasn't going to fail him, she was going to keep him safe.

[jackle]

Jackle was taken aback at her words and the fire in her eyes. A smirk came to his face when she started to call for Devil again. This girl meant business and that's exactly what you needed on the streets he resumed his search for Devil as well. "Hey ummm Spade what's his favorite thing to do? Like what does he like the most?"

[spade]

She thought of how her mother would leave her with the maid and then go off and leave her. She would never do that do anyone. Spade didn't even realize that Jackle was listening to her. She knew he had said something and she had replied, but she was more or less talking to herself. She barely registered his last question but replied, "Umm, he loves water." She smiled at that, "He loves to splash around and chase birds."

[jackle]

Jackle thought for a moment. "Water eh?" He paused his search momentarly. "Well that could place him just about anywhere. There's a pond here maybe we should check out around there." He resumed the search hoping that the dog would be okay. He headed down the path a little faster heading towards the pond.

[spade]

She walked a little behind him for a few minutes before searching around the way he pointed. "Devil! Devil! Devil!" She called his name repeatedly, but she had new determination to find him.

((OK this was short but I'm gonna be over at the pond))

[Avalanche]

((New Day))

Avalanche hadn't been in Manhattan recently, not since he got back anyway. He wondered how Jacky boy was doing as leader, but for now he figured he'd take a stroll through central park. The reason he was there was to relax a little, take a walk, look at the trees. Maybe he'd see some old friends while he was out on a walk, with luck that is.

[fancy]

Fancy sat on a bench, reading her book. She looked up briefly and saw Avalanche, then looked back down at her book, mind not really processing who she was looking at.

[Avalanche]

Avalanche looked over. Well well well... if it wasn't Fancy. Time to say hello to an old friend. He slowly walked over to her. He snuck around behind her and put his hands over her eyes. He did his best impersonation of Red and said, "guess who," with a smile on his face.

[fancy]

She snorted. "I saw you Avalanche..." she told him, although she had to admit he did do a pretty good Red impression.

[Avalanche]

"Dang it," he said taking his hands away from her eyes and smiling at her. "And thank you," he said with a smile. He walked infront of her, but just as far as the other side of the bench. "What are you doin' here?" he asked as though it wasn't obvious. She was reading a book!

[fancy]

she waved the book. "Reading!" she said as if he was stupid. She didn't mean to be mean or snappy but it came with the territory. She rested a hand on her stomach and exhaled deeply. "Well... TRYING to read..."
