Welcome to the back booth! Got some shady business to attend to? Just like some privacy?

Sparks slid into the back booth after placing his order at the counter. He knew what he wanted and didn't want to be bothered by the waitress. He rested his elbows on the table and put his head in his hands. He knew his sister was going to be fine, but how was she supposed to sell if the the Distribution center was in Queens?
Better yet, how were the Queens newsies safe to go to 'Hatten when they had to go through Brooklyn to get there? Sparks snorted at this, he wasn't dumb, and he had no plans to try sneaking past Spot Conlon, but he certainly wasn't going to just sit back and let his sister go broke. Sparks had to see Flare before this got out of control and ler het know that he'd do something to make sure she had money coming in. But how to tell her this? He couldn't just waltz into Brooklyn, or could he? He was new, the Brooklyn newsies would know his from Adam, much less that he was from Queens. Sparks also knew he had one shot at getting this right, and just hoped that Spot Conlon wouldn't find out.

Flanna had followed Sparks quietly, and slipped into the seats in front of him. "I understand if ye want to be alone...but I may have an idea."
She had thought about it the entire way over, and she thought it may just work.

Sparks looked up from his hands as his food arrived at the same time.
"Youse want anyt'ing, just tell the waitress, it's on me. An' Ise got it undah control. De last t'ing Ise needs is ta worry 'bou you runin' all oveh de city cuz o' me."

Flanna ordered a small plate of food and shrugged, resolute. "Well I doubt ye have it under control, Sparks. And I'm not about to let you run around this city getting yourself into horrid trouble. At least I can move about unrecognized...you cant. Just look at ya.." She sighed and looked at him. "You're stuck with me. Face it."

Sparks looked up from his meal and sighed, knowing that Flanna would do what she wanted whe she wanted unless Sparks sat on her or something.
"We'll woik somet'hin out, but Ise dun like de idea o' youse goin' ta Brooklyn by yoahself, as a goil o' not. It's too risky, what if youse get caught?"

Flanna smirked and spoke in her normal voice, but in a whisper. "Why..I'm just Flanna, trying to get a job as a newsie in Brooklyn..I come from Queens...but I want to get out!" She smirked and shrugged. "If I get ousted, I'll pull the female card. They won't harm me. Besies...I used to be a pickpocket...I'm good at sneaking about."
She understood Sparks' fears, and she felt some of her own, but she wanted to help him.

"Ise know, Ise know. It's bad enough wit my sisteh out der, Ise just don't want to worry about youse gettin' stuck out dere eidda. An' in Brooklyn, dat goil card don't woik. Theys got plenty o' goil newsies out dere dat won't t'ink twice 'bout soakin' ya if dey find out."
Sparks was not feeling the idea of letting Flanna go anywhere without him, espcially off to Brooklyn.

Flanna shrugged. "Any girls who try to soak me will find that they will be getting soaked themselves." She sighed and touched Sparks shoulder slightly. "So the girl card don't work...but ye may be able to take two or three..but if they got you cornered..." She shuddered. "I dunna think about what they would do to ye..."

"Ise won't do nuttin' stupid if youse don't do nuttin' stupid. In da mean time, lets get back ta da lodgin' house befoah Prince gets too annoyed wit me."

Flanna nodded. "I need to show her I'm a girl as well." She finished off her own meal and stood. "But I mean it...the minute you run off, I will as well. So blame yourself if I get caught." She poked him and laughed.

((New Day, well night))
Dazzle decided to stay on as a waitress because it paid ok and she could always use the extra money. She looked around the place and then placed the glasses in front of who was at the table, she couldn't see the persons face.
