Her hair got in her face as she ran after the mutt,"get back hereh c'mon flea bag," the wind was beating against her face as she turned following a ragged looking dog. She cursed multiple times under her breath, the dog had her most prized possession hanging from it's mouth, her celtic heart necklace. She slid to a hault as she watched the mutt run into the old abandoned tenement building, the one farthest from the ones that people still lived in. She knew it was dangerous, she knew she shouldn't follow but she had to. She swallowed hard and then continued her sprint after the thing.
Up a few flights of stairs, down a few halls, the pup was fast. She groaned breathlessly as she took a sharp turn around a corner and slid,"Oh Crud...."she managed to curse as she slid halfway down the hall before stopping. She lost sight of the dog. She got to her feet not bothering to brush herself off, there was no time. "Where'd ya go skippy, c'mon ya got no use fer da damn thing,"she hollered. She slowly walked toward the end of the hall not paying much attention to how stable anything was, especially some of the floorboards. *CRACK*
She screamed loud like bloody murder as she fell through the floor and luckily she only managed to fall through one floor of the 4 floors she was above. She looked down when the fall was through, feeling a slight numbness in her right leg,"cr*p...HELP!!!" she yelled, she had landed on the 3rd floor, her right leg had caved into the floor when she landed but the rest of her was above the flooring. She tried to lift herself up but it was no use, her leg was caught good between two floorboards. "HELP" she yelled again hoping someone, anyone would hear her.

Mercutio Lexeme was walking along the block-he was looking for a boy he had seen passing his store. The boy had looked hungry, and Mercury carried a small bag of food... But the boy was no where to be seen. Instead, a mangy dog sure to carrying diseases came out of the abandoned apartment building, wagging his tail and carrying a small necklace. Mercury traded the dog a piece of bread for the necklace and then he heard someone screaming from inside. Mercury poked his head inside the door. "Hello?" He called. The cries were coming from above so he began to climb the rickety stairs. "Is anyone here?" Then, on the third floor, he spotted a leg sticking out of the ceiling. "Um... Hello? Are you okay up there?" He asked, trying not to laugh. "I'm Mercury and I'm going to try and help you okay?" He continued to call as he climbed up to the fourth floor. There, he laughed. "Well, hello Lucky. You're the last person I'd expect to see here." He laughed, clutching at a pain in his side. "Now, how did this happen, and this wouldn't happen to be yours, would it?" He asked, holding up the necklace he had gotten from the dog.

Lucky's eyes flashed up and a smile spread across her face, her eyes filled with relief,"Oh thank goodness it's you, oh you found my celtic thank you, it is indeed mine,"she said. She had her hands wrapped around the top half of her leg trying to get it out of the hole it was in. "I dunno how I get meself into thhese situations, I may have tremendous amounts of luck but sometimes I just have days where I'm literally falling through ruins..."she said looking down at her leg then meeting his eyes. She tilted her head,"ummm well....any chance ya can help a lady out?"she asked him a cute grin on her face and a sparkle in her glinting eyes.

Mercury handed her the necklace, even fastening it himself. He became thoughtful. "Well, I dunno. See, I'm looking for a little boy who passed my shop this morning. I told Scarlett I wouldn't be long. I'll make a deal with you, Lucky, if I help you out, you have to promise to work at my shop for... Three days?" He asked. Then grinning and laughing, he set the bag down and grabbed her under the arms and heaved. She came out and he stumbled, falling back word. "Can you get off me?" He asked, barely getting it out because he was laughing so hard. "I really do have to get back soon."

Lucky laughed softly as she fell back onto him. She looked down at him and shook her head,"No I can't get off of ya.... yer too comfortable Mercury, maybe I'll just hafta take a nice lil nap right here on top of ya,"she said as she smiled at him tilting her head. She looked down into his eyes as she smiled, he was so sweet to her, and she loved it, she didn't care how old he was, she would never admit it to anyone but she had always had a slight crush on the older boy. She wasn't heavy so she knew he was ok with her being on him it was the fact he was in a hurry that made the difference, but it'd been awhile since she last saw him, she missed him.

Mercury laughed. "Now come on, Lucky. I have to get back to Scarlett..." He smiled and helped her sit up. "Besides, we have to get you to the shop so I can show you the ropes, right?" He asked, winking. "If you're that tired, maybe you should go home and sleep." He suggested, laughing. "But then again, if I had time, I'd be sleeping right now." He looked thoughtful and then said, "Thanks for the compliment, though I suppose that means I'm getting fat, huh?" he laughed. He fidgeted slightly, trying to sit up completely. He stifled a yawn and realized he couldn't remember the last time he had slept.

Lucky stood up after her sat her up. She sighed and extended her hand to him to help him to his feet. "hmmm I dunno how Spot'll feel bout meh going and helpin' you if I gotta walk back here by meself ya know?"she said. She knew it was tough on the leaders lately with beatings and cornerings, she knew the last thing Spot needed was her getting cornered and beaten to a pulp. She tilted her head slightly as she watched him,"I wanna help though so I'll come a course.....jus' dunno how I feel bout comin' back by my lonesome,"she said as she looked down then back up meeting his eyes.

Mercury took her hand and pulled himself to his feet, he shouldered his bag. He smiled and rubbed her shoulder comfortingly. "I'll walk you back of course, and to the shop... Everyday if you want. But see, holidays are coming up and I need some extra help, but I can't exactly afford to hire anybody." He rubbed the back of his neck and mumbled something that sounded like, 'And some people have back paymenst to make up... and with Scarlett expecting...' he looked away then back quickly. "Anyway I've heard about the attacks from an adorable colored boy who comes into the shop for candy every other day." Mercury told her. "You don't have to worry about Spot or anybody else."
