Mush walked along the street. He had the feeling he was being watched, but he pushed it aside. There were probably a lot of people that were watching an anxious teen practically jogging down the street. He didn't know what happened to any of his three friends and right now he didn't care. He pushed people out of his way, looking for signs of rich people or dead people or injured people. Chances were, he'd find what he was looking for with any of those categories.

Levi followed silently, not quickening his pace or slowing down. He was focused on Mush, so focused he ran right into a pretty girl coming out a building. "'Scuse me miss." He said, taking a step then spun around and grabbed her arm. "You! You lying slut! Where have you been?"
Ophelia looked at him outraged. "I never lied, nor am I a common girl like my sister." She huffed. Levi slapped her. She narrowed her eyes at him. "I have been in school."
Levi looked up at the shabby, run down building. "Don't look like a school."
"How would you know what a school looks like?" She sneered. Then, a man came out of the building. "Hello, Robert. See you again." She nodded to him cheerfully. Levi glanced at Mush's retreating back, then he pulled her behind the stoop, making sure they were not seen.
"I want you to leave and go back to England or wherever the hell you're from. Go back and leave Mush alone. One question though. Are you getting paid to sleep with every man you see?" Levi asked.
"Why? Looking for something? I would not touch you for a million dollars."
"Wasn't looking for it, I wouldn't want you touching me..."
"I will leave that to Rosalind."
Levi raised his hand, she flinched, but he didn't slap her, he turned on his heel and walked away, calling, "You're probably diseased anyway."

Mush heard Levi's loud voice and wheeled around. He was walking away from a stoop. Now, Levi wasn't crazy, but why the hell was he talking to a stoop? Then, a girl walked out from behind it. Mush squinted his eyes. Ophelia! She wasn't dead! He wanted to run to her and hold her until his arms fell off. He had started running to her, then he slowed finally stopping. He was mad at her. He walked to her and put a scowl on his face. "I thought yous was dead. Ain't heard nothin' from ya, no one's seen ya. Were the hell have ya been?" He practically shouted in her face. She recoiled from him. Good, he'd made her uncomfortable. Now, she knew how he'd felt for the past few hours.

"That boy!" She pointed to Levi's back. "He tried to force himself upon me, calling me ungodful names, saying Rosalind had done it, so why not I?" She wailed, sobbing and dabbing at her cheeks with a silk hankerchief.
Levi watched the scene and wanted to smack her again, instead he found himself walking to a place of comfort, a place that in the last few days had become a refuge, a home for him-and it utterly surprised him. He was going to find Street in her sleeping spot of the day, a park bench in the Bronx.

Mush grabbed Ophelia's hands. He looked her in the eyes. He was hurt. "Ophelia, please let it go. Boo's meh best friend. He wouldn't lie ta meh. How could ya? I thought ya loved meh." He didn't look away and she wasn't crying anymore so he could tell it was an act. It was only when she'd begun to speak that he looked away from her. He needed an explination and didn't want to be distracted. She knew his weakness. Her eyes, they were so beautiful, one couldn't help but look into them and get lost.

Asher caught up to Mush and Ophelia. "Oh, you found her." Ophelia pushed him away less then gently when Mush looked away.
"Ow..." Asher said, rubbing his arm.
"Go away." Ophelia hissed. "You fag." She whispered to him. Asher looked like he had been punched in the face. Then he lunged at her.
"Take it back. Take it back! I swear I'll kill you! I swear it!" Asher cried, hitting every part he could of her. Sean came near to pull him away, but was shoved away. "Take it back you b****!"
Ophelia cried out. Sean smiled. "Just desserts, right Ash?" He called. Asher grunted as he pulled her hair out.

Mush rolled his eyes. He knew he should probably stop this, but he figured he'd wait a little. At least until she was ready to the truth. He looked at Sean and smiled wickedly. He stretched and pretended to yawn before finally pulling the two apart. "Alright, ya gonna tell meh what's goin' on? The truth would be preferable. And Asher, ya can keep beatin' her if she don't tell meh what she's been doin' behind meh back." People can lie to Mush, even to his face. But if he found out about it, that person was in trouble.

Asher huffed and looked away. "She called me a fag, Mush." He muttered, then looked him full in the face. "I won't take it! Especially from her!" He pointed at her.
Ophelia was shocked, she looked up at them and wiped her bloody lip. "Mush, why did you not help me?" She asked him a whisper. Sean's eyebrows rose in surprise.
"'Cause yer a liar." He said simply. She frowned, but kept looking at Mush, pleading with him and using her charm and the feelings she knew he had for her.
Asher wanted to keep hitting her but settled for flipping her off and standing behind Sean, his back turned.

Mush looked back at Sean and then at Ophelia again. She looked helpless. He started to reach out a hand to her then Sean grabbed his arm and he pulled back, closing his hand into a fist. He bit his lower lip and looked back at Asher. He walked over to him comforting him rather than Ophelia. "Come on Ash. It's alright. Let's get outta here, Sean. Buy him a drink or somethin'." He looked at Sean pleading him to get Asher and himself out of there and away from Ophelia before he did something stupid.

Ophelia screamed bloody murder. "Help! Help!" She pointed at the three boys as a policeman ran up to her. "They attacked me!" The man blew a whistle and started chasing after them. Asher and Sean grabbed Mush and ran, pulling him into an alleyway.
"Why do Oi always get chased lately?" Sean asked, puffing.
"Why are you two always trying to get me drunk?" Asher demanded, laughing quietly.

Mush glared at Ophelia. "What the-!" He was being pulled away before he could finish. Once they were safe in the alley he finished. "-Hell! We didn't attack her! You did!" He pointed at Asher and then laughed. He gasped for breath and answered him. "I panicked. I didn't know what ta say." He didn't think about Asher only being fourteen at the time. But right now, a drink was starting to sound pretty good to him. He smiled at his two friends, and glanced out into the street. He didn't see any cops so he motioned for them to come. He heard footsteps at the other end of the alley and he stopped. He looked around. "Who's there?" He asked, hoping his voice sounded braver than he really felt. With all the rumors about this Killer guy, being in a dark alley was probably not the best idea in the world.

Asher rolled his eyes. "It's only Levi and Street."
"Damn it, Asher! I wanted to scare him!" Levi said jokingly. Street giggled.
"He came and got me then pulled me here ta scare ya." Street explained. "Can we got out a bit?" She asked.
"Yeah sounds good to me." Levi said.
Asher agreed. "I haven't been drunk for a bit now, plus, I haven't violated Sean yet today." They all laughed except for Sean who grumbled and lead them through the alleys to the back door of the local bar they frequented-Irving Hall. The ignored the shows and found a table. "Scotch all around." He said. "I'll take Street's share."
"No, I believe I will." Levi said, they commenced arguing over who would claim Street's Scotch. It involved age, sexuality, and how many people they had laid with. "Me? More then I can count."
"Yeah well, I've done both, so there. I by default have more." Asher said, only blushing a bit.
"You only did it with Moira and Tyler. No? No Tyler? Ah, then who's the lucky lad?" Levi teased. Asher bit his lip.
"Samuel Towser..." Asher said. Levi burst out laughing.

Mush grumbled at Levi and Street. "Thanks guys, I appreciate it, really i do." He rolled his eyes. They walked into the bar and Mush waited patiently for Asher and Levi to get over their quarrel. He stared openly at Asher waiting for his response to Levi's question. MUsh tried, unsuccessfully, not to laugh. He almost fell on the ground, he was laughing so hard. He had one arm around Levi's shoulder's and the other one slalapped Asher on the back. When the Scotch came, he finally settled down gasping for breath. He raised his glass. "A toast," He said, "to Asher for making my day." He laughed again and downed his glass of alcohol.

"A toast to the only virgin here, Street." Levi laughed. Sean looked at him. "Oh like I'll believe you're a virgin!"
"Ya ain't a virgin?" Street asked dumbstruck at them all.
"Catilyn Salinger." Levi said.
"Abby McCourt." Sean said.
"Moira O'Reilly." Asher said. They all looked to Mush.

Mush looked taken aback. "What?" He got another drink and waited for them to turn away. HE grabbed his drink and turned back to them. Damn, he thought. They weren't letting him out of this one. "Abby Langston." He murmered. "Okay, we toastin' or what?" He lifted his glass to drink from it again, and stopped. He looked at Levi who was still staring at him.
