The Queens lodging house has a very large stoop that is a great place to gather, or just to think...

Sparks leaned back on the stoop, worried. He hadn't seen Flanna come in that night and checked most of Queens but couldn't find her anywhere, it wasn't like her. It seemed like the whole city had gone crazy, hell, Bronx pulled out of the war. Looking out on the street he was relieved to see Flanna approach, until he got a closer look.

Flanna walked up, her dirty shirt tucked under her arm. She had her boyish garb on, except for the overlarge shirt of Razor's a happy smile on her face. Stepping onto the stoop, she was suprised to see Sparks waiting for her. She was pretty sure he was going to stay mad at her for weeks. "Sorry. I got stuck in Brookyln after a bad attack." Her face fell back to neutral. She wasn't going to put up with him if he gave her more crap.

"I'm sure," he said quietly, "You know the strangest thing happened last night. I went to apologize to someone to find that they hadn't been home. So I waited up and they never came, so I spent half the night combing the burrough for them." Looking up at her he shook his head, "Nice shirt."

Flanna sighed. "I'm sorry you were so worried. I ended up wandering in the Brooklyn and made a friend. We went drinking, I had a fit. I couldn't make it home and ruined my shirt. So he let me borrow one of his and I stayed the night...got up and came home. That's all that happened." She paused. "I didn't think you would even look for me."

"He," Sparks said, his voice rising slightly, "I see, well that explains a lot. You left without telling anyone, went into enemy territory, met a boy, got drunk and stayed the night at his place." The gruff Russian stood up and brushed off his pants. "Real nice Flanna."

Flanna's own voice gained a bit of edge to it. "I don't like what you are implying!! I told you! Nothing happened...I slept on the couch!" That wasn't a lie..she would have stayed there if Raz hadn't moved her. "And who was I supposed to tell? Everyone around here is running around like crazy, and you weren't talking to me!!"

"You couldn't find anyone in de entiah burrough," Sparks asked skeptically, "Flanna, Ise can't believe ya would do somet'tin like dis." Running his hand through his hair he sighed, "Why? What would posses ya ta do dis?"

Flanna raised an eyebrow. "Do what? What did I do wrong? You know I don't care about the war! I have always gone where I wanted, and I haven't gotten hurt in Bronx, or Brooklyn. I got my ribs smashed in on home territory. So what did I do so horrible that you must condesend to me?" She sighed, running a hand through her.

Flanna bit her lip. "You keep implying that I... did something. I didn't run off with anyone...I didnt do anything!" She choaked something back in her throat. "You think I'd be that....loose? Maybe its you who I didn't know..."

Flanna spit out, nearly screaming, tears brimming up in her eyes. "Do you think after what has happened to me that I could even have--do--" She couldnt bring herself to say it. Her voice suddenly dropped to a nutral tone. "...if thats what you think I am, there is no way it will change in your head. Glad to know your faith in me was that small."

"Flanna, you ain't nevah told me nuttin' 'bout ya past," Sparks said angrily, "Ise spossed ta read ya mind?"
He rubbed his hands along the side of his head, frustrated. He began again, much quieter, "But yoah right 'bout one t'ing, Ise can't trust ya,not aftah last night."

Flanna furrowed her brow. "I told you why I dressed like a boy..you know." She reached out to touch him, but stopped. "What does that mean...?" She always felt she was walking on eggshells around him...and she was tired of it.
