If Only The Truth Could Run

Chapter 17: Get Everyone Out

Mush P.O.V.

Blink and I are walking down the street. Life is good. I couldn't have asked for a better husband. I turn my head, and see his blonde hair falling in his face, and his brown eye patch covering his damaged eye. I think his eye looks beautiful, he doesn't though. He's very insecure about it, but it's one of the things that I love so dearly about him. There was a really bad storm years ago, and a tree fell down breaking glass in the lodging house, which caused glass to go flying everywhere including his eye. Everyone has sometime of damage from that night, such as I have a huge scar across my back from a big tree limb flying into my back. 

I suddenly see a few black figures in an ally way, but I pay no attention to them. Probably just drunkies. I turn my head to see Blink staring at me with a smile across his face. "How did I'se get so lucky? I'se mean I'se have you'se, our jobs, and da boys at da lodging house. How'd I'se get so lucky?" I smiled. "I'se dink I'se da lucky one ere. I'se got you'se." I stood up a little taller, and kissed his thin smooth pink lips. We pulled away, and started walking hand in hand. 

I suddenly feel a strong hand grip onto my arm and pull me into an ally way. They slammed me and Blink into the wall. They are all wearing black hoods, so we can't see their faces. "Get everyone out of the lodging house." "Wh...what?" Blink stuttered. "I don't have time to explain. Tonight get everyone out and take them to Medda's theater. It's to dangerous for you to be there tonight." "O..okay."

They let us go, and we started running. "What was dat about?" Blink asked in shock. "I'se don't know, but I'se dink we'se need ta listen ta dem." He nodded in agreement, and we are off to get everyone out. 

Sorry I haven't posted in the last few days. Have you figured out what's going on yet?
