Mush sat beside Ophelia and hugged her again. "Don't worry I'll take her-um." He had know idea where to take her. He went through New York in his mind. He couldn't take her to Brooklynn now, or the Park; her creepy 'stalker' escort might be there still. "I'll take her back to the lodging house. She can talk to the others and maybe they'll help in findin' Street."
Mush hoped that would work. It was the only plan he had and he didn't have time to make a back-up one. He sighed. This was not going to get any easier, was it?

"The Lodging House?" Levi snorted. "Street never stays in the Lodging House, remember? I'd imagine that she's under the bridge. Or over in the Bronx, stealin' for her dinner..." Levi looked at their unfinished hotdogs. "Which is what I should be doing? Are you gonna eat those?" he asked. Ophelia shook her head, he scooped it up and ate it quickly. His cheeks were puffed out with the food and he looked at Mush, waiting. "Well, what are we gonna do with her?" He gestured to Ophelia.

Mush smiled at Levi as he took the hotdogs. He shook his head. "I don't know. Ya think it's a good idea to take her to Brooklynn?" Mush knew Levi was right about Street not being in a lodging house. He still thought it was a good idea to get some of the guys to look for Street though. Once they took a look at her, they'd be jumpin' at the opportunity. Mush smiled. He could almost see Blink and Race's faces.

Levi shrugged, "It can't hurt, I mean, you're with her and everyone knows you." Levi said, biting into another hotdog. "Maybe you can just get some friends of yours to look for Street. I'm sure they'd do anything for her," He pointed to Ophelia. She looked up from her personal misery and looked at them.
"I would be ever so pleased if you would oblige me, Levi. Mush, may you get some friends of yours to look for this Street person? I must know if she is my sister." Ophelia begged softly.

Mush looked at her pleading eyes. "Of course I will, doll. Come on." Mush helped her up out of the booth. "Let's go find the guys." He nodded to Levi and took Ophelia outside. The entire way to the lodging house he looked around for anyone. Irish, Hunter, Race, Jack, Poet, or even Spot. Hopefully, someone came before they got there. The faster Mush found Street, the happier Ophelia would be. Or so he hoped.

Asher walked quickly down the street, he wasn't supposed to be out, if Brooke found him, he's be dead. Asher kept his head down and cut a corner, he slammed into somebody and ended up on the sidewalk. "Oh, look, it's the fairy..." Levi said, pointing. Asher knew he meant it only as a joke, he still flushed. Mush and Levi were with a girl he didn't know. She may have been pretty, but he was biased by Tyler.
"Hey, Levi, Mush." Asher murmured, standing up. "Uh... Mush, you won't tell Brooke about this huh? I'm not supposed to be out, but Tyler wanted me to meet him in Tibby's for some dinner and then we were gonna-"
"We get it, go on a date." Levi finished dryly.
"No," Asher snapped, blushing deeper. "We were gonna buy a present for Irish and Poet. They're engaged, you know." He said quickly, trying to draw attention away from him and Tyler. "Oh, hi, my name's Asher Cromwell."
"Ophelia Lexeme." she sniffed.
"Lexeme?" Asher repeated vaguely, looking at Levi and Mush, Levi nodded.

Mush grinned and helped Broadway up. "Nah. I won't tell her." He said brushing him off. "Why ain't ya supposed to be out anyways?" He laughed at Levi saying date and Asher going all red in the face.
"Hey where is Brooke anyway. I haven't seen her around." Mush said. As an afterthought he added. "Nor anyone else for that matta." He looked at Asher and put his hand up. Shielding his face from the sun.

Asher quicked a stone. "Because I told Brooke about the DeLanceys chasin' me yesterday after Medda's. Well, I didn't mean to tell her, but... It sorts just slipped out." He said sadly. "I don't know what Brooke's up to. I'd say she maybe with Levi, but he's here." Asher laughed. "Maybe you need to get out more. Now, what are you doin' with him and her?" He asked, pointing to Levi and Ophelia.

Mush smiled. Asher was right. He did need to get out more. "Well, I'm- we're taking Ophelia to the house. We need some help findin' Street. We have a feelin' they're related." Mush corrected himself looking at Levi. He would remember to look for Brooke once he was outta this mess.

"Related? Huh, ain't that something." he said thoughtfully. Asher looked at them. "I just came from the Lodging House, Street's been and gone. I think she said something about wanting to kill Ace..." He tapped his chin. "I think it's because she saw Ace and Spot yesterday and burst in hysterics 'cause Spot rescued her and she thought he liked her, but then he's goin' off with Ace..." Asher said quickly, waving his hands animatedly. Ophelia watched him like he was insane. "Tyler says it's because Street's crushin' on Spot, but I told him her and Hunter were a thing, but he said it's not official yet and that Street liked Levi and Spot anyways-oh, sorry Levi."
Levi shrugged. "What can I say? Animal magneticism." He snorted.
"I feel dizzy," Ophelia said, she quickly sat on a stoop. Levi chuckled.
"You look dizzy." She glared at him, Levi back off.

Mush helped Ophelia down onto the stoop of a building. She had said she felt dizzy. Levi snorted and said, "You look dizzy." Ophelia scowled at him and Mush said, "Shut it Levi." He looked down at Ophelia. "Are you okay?" There was concern in his eyes. She looked like she could pass out. Mush hoped she could make it a few more minutes. They were almost to the lodging house. If she could just make it there then she could sleep for a while on Mush's bed.

Ophelia nodded. "Yes, I think so... There is just so much going on around me." She hestured helplessly around herself. Levi threw a look at Mush.
"Look, if you aren't gonna appreciate my help, I'm leavin'." Levi said bitterly, only slightly jealous about Mush getting all the attention. Hell, Asher was getting more then he was lately.
Asher rubbed the side of his nose. "You don't have to leave because of me, Levi."
"It ain't because of you, Fairy. It's more like I'm gonna throw up soon because of them." Levi jerked a thumb over his shoulder at Ophelia and Mush. Asher nodded, not quite understanding-gay as he was.

Mush looked ashamed. "Sorry Levi. Ya don't havta go. Can you stand? We're real close to the house." He said to Ophelia trying to help her up. He put his arm around her waist. He didn't want Levi to go. But he didn't want Levi to be a pain in his neck either. Mush breathed deeply. What was he going to do about these two?

Levi sighed and took Ophelia's other side. "I think she's gonna pass out Mush. It may be the hotdog, you have to get use to those things." he laughed. Asher chuckled and followed them, Levi attempted to trip him-but Asher was use to Levi's antics so he dodged it quickly. He ran right into a tall, lean boy who turned and revealed himself as Irish. Irish grinned when he saw who it was.
"'Ello, Broadway, Levi, Mush. What're ye doin' out walkin' around?" Irish asked, Levi noticed he was in a paycheck line. They stepped to the side to allow other workers to pass, Irish followed. "Oi'm gettin' me paycheck for the week. Mam spent most of last weeks..." He explained, trying to dodge the question. "What're doin' with the lass?" He asked, narrowing his eyes at Levi. "Oi know ye, Levi Akecheta. Ye went after Moira, if you're up to any tricks with the lass, Oi will skin ye from navel to groin." He growled. Asher grinned at Levi.
"Mush... I think I am going to be sick..." Ophelia gasped from inbetween Mush and Levi. Then she turned pale and sagged, losing consiousness. Irish scrambled to hold her up, he picked her up and carried her to a bench, laying her down carefully. He spun around and glared at the three boys-16, 15, and 14.
"Explain. Now." he snapped.

Mush looked at Irish. He was getting a paycheck.
"Mush, I think I'm going to be sick." Ophelia said.
She collapsed. Irish helped Mush and Levi hold her up. Then he took her into his arms and set her on a bench. He looked at the three boys, looking furious.
Mush stared straight into Irish's eyes. "Nothing is wrong Irish. This is Ophelia Lexeme. We-" guesturing to himself and Levi, "know she's related to Street. She wanted to see her. So we was taking her to Street. Trouble is we don't know where she is. She had a break down in Tibby's so i was takin' her to the House so she could rest while we found Street. But as yous can see she didn't make it that far." Mush waited for Irish's retaliation, hoping he'd understand.
