Lacey nodded, smiling. "Yeah, I feel so bad about what happened to Vi though...What was she like?"

Blondie sighed, it seemed just yesterday she had been sitting around talking to Vi. "Oh, she was one of the sweetest girls I'd ever met. We used to hang out all the time when Reilly and Spot would go off on some kind of business. We had alot of problems with Queens back then, so they were gone alot. We told each other everything, even our darkest secrets. And then that one day came. We were walking home to the lodging house one night from Tibby's when we saw a couple of our friends fighting with some Queens girls. Well, Queens likes to fight dirty. We weren't going to get involved, but then it turned into a knife fight and we had to. We tried to break them up." She pulled her shirt up a little to show her stomach and a long scar on the left side of her belly button. I made it out with this...Vi...she didn't get so lucky." Tears stung her eyes as she got to this part.

Lacey's eyes widened as she saw Blondie's scar. Her eyes filled with tears as well and she wrapped her arms around Blondie, pulling her into a hug. "Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" It was like hearing the story for the first time again.

Blondie hugged her back. "It's been so long. Everyone in Brooklyn mourned over losing her. She was a great person..." she sniffed. "I'm sorry, I always get choked up when telling that story. I'm sure Reilly told you his point of view. It's even worse to hear it from him. He blames himself, but it was really our own faults..."

Lacey patted Blondie's back. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure she was. It's okay that you get sad when you think about her, I know what it's like to lose a loved one." She nodded slowly. "Yeah...It was heartbreaking to see him talk about her."

Blondie smiled. "But he's got you, now." she said. "That's all that matters."

Lacey turned red again and laughed. "Yeah, I guess so."

Lacey laughed and nodded. "Yeah, at first I thought he was just kidding. But then. Eeeh! I just feel so giggly and whatnot about it all." She laughed again.

"Yeah," Blondie said. "Reilly's not that type of guy. I do hope he remembered to warn you about Moose and Squeaks and those others, though."

Lacey nodded. "Yeah, he told me about them. Geez, people these days!" She laughed then yawned. "Anyway, I'm pretty tired. I'm gonna go look for an empty bunk. 'night!"

"Night. Oh hey, the one above me is empty if you want it." Blondie said, gesturing toward the bunk.

"Oh, thanks." Lacey grinned and climbed the ladder to the top bunk.
