Zippy sighed, wishing she hadn't brought it up. "Well it sounds to me he was doing it out of love. At least you got to experience having a loving family- most kids around here haven't. I definitely didn't, not really."

"That's quite true." Tag replied softly. She sometimes forgot how lucky she was. Although her family were now gone, at least she'd had one.

"Anyway, what direction is Sheepshed?" Zippy asked, looking around.

"Isn't it in Brooklyn?" She replied, her face contorted into an expression of confusion and thought. That's also probably why she never went to Sheepshead. She was terrified of Brooklyn.

Zippy shrugged. "It could be." Despite her past romantic involvement a long time ago with one Brooklyn newsie, Zippy hadn't spent much time there. "Hey, there's Mush. He'd probably know," Zippy pointed to a corner where Mush was selling.
"HEY MUSH!" She waved, and walked over to him.

Tag followed Zippy, smiling shyly at Mush. They knew each other but not extremely well.
"Zip! Tag! Hey, girls, what's goin' on?" He lowered his arm and tucked the newspaper he'd been trying to sell under his arm. He smiled widely at the two girls.

"Heya Mush, we were just wondering if you could clarify for us exactly where Sheepshed is..?" Zippy asked, squinting a bit from the sun.

"Sheepshead? Oh, that's in Brooklyn." He answered before shooting them a suspicious look. "Why? You two ain't goin' there, are ya?"

Zippy hesitated. What if she ran into Tristan in Brooklyn? She really never wanted to see him again. And some parts of it WERE really shady.
"Yeah, we've never been," Zippy answered eventually with a shrug. "We'll be okay!"

Tag's eyes were wide as she looked from Zippy to Mush. They would?!
Mush laughed, a sort of panic in his voice. "Oh no you won't. I'm comin' with ya." He said, handing a paper to a passing businessman and receiving his penny.

Zippy rolled her eyes. So typical for a newsboy to just think he could swoop in and save the day.
"Mush. That's totally unnecessary," Zippy began, glancing at Tag, then changed her mind. "Well why don't we find Specs, too?" It was about time she got to know him better.

Tag bit back a smile, blushing.
Mush furrowed his brow at Zippy. "Why? He's never been there either."

Zippy glanced at Tag, grinning.
"Well maybe he'll wanna go for his first time, too! Tag, does Specs sell close to here?"

"Usually near Central Park." She mumbled, playing with her hair and staring at the ground.

Zippy pulled Tag close to her. "You're okay with this, right?" she whispered to her. She wasn't necessarily implying anything specific.
