Lacey's face was red as she grabbed his hand and let him help her up. "Alright. Thanks, by the way." She said, looking around. "Who the hell pushed me in, anyway?"

"Squeaks," Reilly said, glaring in Squeaks' direction. "She's pissed that ya got a good hit in on her." Reilly led her away from the docks to the streets of Brooklyn.

Lacey frowned and glared at Squeaks as the boy led her into the streets. "Geez, I guess someone doesn't know how to take a hit. I'm Lacey, by the way." She said, looking away from the docks and at the busy street around her.

Reilly grinned a charming, crooked grin. "Reilly." he said. "And you're right about Squeaks...She's just psycho. I think she has trust issues or something."

Lacey saw Reilly's grin and smiled. "Pleasure to meet you." She nodded. "Yeah. She does seem a little on the insane side."

"Nice ta meet you too. She's one'a those people in Brooklyn you shouldn't trust. She stalked Spot one day and the next, hired three Bronx newsies to try and kill him." Reilly said. They were almost to the lodging house when he spotted another newsie, big and tall. He recognized him as Moose. Putting himself between Moose and Lacey, he muttered: "Dat's anuddah one ya need ta avoid. He hates Spot an' he's likely tah do anything." Moose just glared at them and walked on by. "I don't even tink he's sposed ta be in Brooklyn anymore." Reilly said.

Lacey raised an eyebrow. "Wow. She needs help." She turned around and stuck her tongue out at Moose when his back was turned.

Reilly laughed, leading her into the lodging house and up the stairs. When they got upstairs, he went and knocked on the door to the girls room. "Come in!" came a voice on the other side. Reilly held the door open for Lacey and then walked in himself. The room was empty except for a blonde girl sitting on her bunk, reading. "Hey Reilly, who's this?" she asked.
"This is Lacey, she's new. She got on Squeaks' bad side, you got any clothes she can borrow?" Reilly asked.
Blondie nodded, smiling, and got a shirt and pants, handing them to Lacey. "You can change in there," she said, pointing toward the washroom.
Reilly turned to leave, but stopped and turned back around at the door. "Hey, if you're still up fa dat tour, I'll be waiting outside."

"Thanks!" Lacey said, closing the door as she walked into the washroom. She slid her wet clothes off of her and put on the dry ones, losing balance while pulling the pants on. "Okay! I'll be right there!" She called back, getting up from the floor and picking up her wet clothes and dropping them into a basket in the room. She opened the door and walked out. "Thanks again." She said to Blondie, smiling.

Blondie grinned back. "No problem."
Reilly smiled at her. "Ready?"

Reilly opened the door for her again and lead her back down the stairs and back out onto the streets. He started walking and pointing out particular people and things to her. "...An' dat's Mimic...he's got ta be da most annoyin' kid evah...he doesn't talk unless he's mimickin' someone."

Lacey followed him, nodding as he spoke. "Heh, I better stay away from him, then." She said, eying him.

Reilly laughed. "Yeah, it's a wondah Spot ain't killed 'im yet." He looked to his left and saw a little cafe. "You hungry?"

Lacey laughed and nodded. "I'd gladly help Spot kill him if he ever tried to mimic me, though." She nodded again, looking down at her stomach. "My poor tummy hasn't had anything since yesterday." She laughed and rubbed it.
