"Squint your eyes and focus on your target, then release the string," Spot instructed three young newsies, who were practicing their slingshot skills on the docks. In order to stay in Brooklyn, you had to be an excellent shooter, and in order to be an excellent shooter, Spot Conlon himself had to train you.
"Great job today, fellas. Practice, and show me whatcha got on Sunday." The three little newsies let out sighs of relief- neither had them had been kicked out of Brooklyn today- and strolled away.

Raven stepped to the side to let the three chattering boys go, all of them were grinning with pride. She smiled and shook her head.
She strolled down the dock, holding her shoes in her hand. It was hot as all hell outside and her feet had been burning in her shoes all day. It felt good to cool them on the damp wood, she was also hell bent on taking a swim.
When she saw Spot at the end of the dock she grinned and then whistled. "There you are."

Blue had been watching Spot teach the boys how to aim and shoot with their slingshot and couldn't help but wonder WHY Brooklyn chose slingshots. He was about to ask Spot when he saw that girl of his approach. What was her name? Rake? Rainbow? Something with an R that was about all he knew.

Raven just had this weird feeling that someone was watching her when she turned around and squinted into the sun. She could make out the form of some guy standing there. She turned back around and continued walking toward Spot.
((Rae = officially creeped out LOL))

Blue groaned at Rae's reaction. He'd have had his way with her if she wasn't with Spot.
'missing your man?' Blue asked as he followed behind her. He had wanted to speak with Spot as well. Shame his woman had to be there also

"I was earlier," Raven said and glanced over at him, "forgot he was training some new boys," She said casually. "So what brings you down here this morning?" Raven kept walking and shifted her shoes to her left hand.

'well I am a dock worker.' Blue reminded her, 'down here every day.' he said as he walked slightly behind her, hoping it made her nervous. 'what brings YOU down here?' he asked, knowing full well she was going to see Spot.

"Brooklyn himself," She said, "and I was thinking of taking a swim," She said idly, kicking one foot out in front of her and then the other as she walked. Raven glanced back at him, she didn't like that he was behind her and he especially didn't like the way he was looking at her either. Raven wouldn't let him notice though, she actually turned around and smiled at him. "So you gonna tell me your name?"

Blue smother at the idea of her swimming. He was sure he could steal a look or two of her soaking wet. 'Blue. You would be....? R something right?'

"Rae," She said, keeping her eye on him closely. "If you have some business with Spot I can always find him again later."

Blue almost reached out and pulled her over to him but he remembered who's girl she was and didn't. 'nah you don't got nothin to run away from sweet face.' he said as he kept walking with her.

Right, that's exactly what you want me to think she thought to herself as she kept walking. He gave Raven goosebumps all over and not the good kind. When she finally reached Spot she made it a point to kiss him on the lips and slip her arm in his.
"I bumped into Blue on my way here," She said, looking up at him, trying to sound like she wasn't bothering, hoping her voice didn't catch in her throat. She hadn't liked the look in his eye before, that hunger that he had. She knew that look, her brother had it.

Blue chuckled as he watched the display Raven put on. What she didn't know was that there was no way he would touch her. As long as she was with Spot that was. 'heya Spot.'. Blue greeted.

"Blue! How ya been?" Spot shimmied away from Raven, and greeted his friend with a handshake.

Blue's mouth quirked into a half smile as he watched Spot move away from Raven.
'Cant complain Conlon. How've you been?' he asked before spitting off the side of the dock.
