SALVATORE & SABRINA: THE STREETS

[Wolfy]

After four days of sitting in her cell, doing nothing, Sabrina felt like she was just going to lose it. She didn't even do anything wrong! She had only been out past curfew, and since they wouldn't go find her parents, she was just stuck there. And it was really starting to drive her insane. It wasn't her fault that her family didn't have a phone yet - they'd just moved to their new home in the slums.

She spent most of the morning that day pacing and such. Nothing really interesting happened until that afternoon. Just after twelve thirty, the officer came in and opened her door. "Come on," he said gruffly. Without hesitation, she got up and walked out, not really sure what was going on. He led her through a few hallways until they reached a door. As he opened it, she saw that it opened on to a street corner.

He looked down at her seriously. "Go on, get out of here," he said. "And quit mooching off of our free shelter and food, mutt." Sabrina, happy to be finally let go, walked off without complaint. She walked down the sidewalk, seething with anger at the way she had been treated. After walking for about five minutes, she looked around and saw that she was lost in some section of the downtown she'd never been in before.

There were nearly no businesses or shops like there were by main street, and there weren't very many cars around. "Oh crap," she muttered, stopping to try to get her bearings. "Where am I?" She frowned and turned in the direction of the station, but couldn't even find her way back there.

So, stopping once again, she looked around for someone who could help her find her way back home. "Hello?" she called out. "Is anyone here?" She just hoped someone would lend a hand to a lost girl like her.

Salvatore was extremely bored. He'd already taken care of all of his business deals for the day. He decided to get all of his pay early so he could head to the Burlesque later, meet up with the guys, and pick up some women.

He'd enjoyed his business today. They had to get physical with one man. They certainly didn't kill him this time, but he'd beaten pretty close to death. He'd never make the mistake of trying to run again. And the best part was that Salvatore got both the money and the man's gold tooth.

He walked down the street on the outskirts of downtown. It was peaceful almost. There was nothing around. No noisy kids, no paper boys, no hookers (not that he minded hookers). Nothing. Just street lights and quiet reserved office buildings.

Well, he thought he was alone until he heard a girls voice. She sounded young. Why would a girl be walking the streets of the city alone? Didn't she understand how dangerous it was? Not that he cared. He just thought she was incredibly stupid.

But he decided to answer. "That depends on who's askin'," Salvatore said in his typical New York accent, "Who are ya? And why are ya lost in an area like this?"

He approached her and made sure it wasn't a trap. Mobsters were relentless, but so was he. Traps made complete sense to him, but this didn't appear to be a trap.

Sabrina jumped a little at the sound of a voice behind her. She wasn't expecting anyone to answer so quickly. She turned and put on a smile as she saw a man walking toward her. "Oh, thank goodness someone's here," she said happily. "I'm so lost, sir." She walked over to him. "My name is Sabrina Matthews, and I really need to get home."

She hoped that maybe her family name might ring a bell in the man's mind. If he knew about her rich family, he would probably be more willing to help her. But, if he had heard about their recent bankruptcy, he might turn her down. So she simply wished that he hadn't been keeping up on the news article about her father's business going under.

She continued on to say, "I have been away from home for nearly a week. My parents are probably worried sick about me. Anyway, I need to find my way to main street. Normally, I would be able to find it on my own, but this is a strange part of town I've never been to before."

She conveniently left out the part about her being arrested. She figured that wouldn't help her convince him to help. "But if you could just help me get home, I would greatly appreciate it, sir," she concluded.
