Vinny knew that he would have to search all night yet again, because every passing day only added on to his ever growing feeling that he would loose Laney forever. Vinny played with the kids up until it was time for them to go to sleep and then after saying goodnight and sleep well to each and every one, he left to begin the search yet again.
Vinny decided to begin looking around the Northwest section of the Castle Apartments starting near Isabella’s cafe because he knew all of the sleaze balls nearby flock to to the place after 10. “Its a shame they put this place so close to the orphanage” thought Vinny, if I were in charge of this town I would have it shut down. But nothing stood out to Vinny around Isabellas so he continued up the street turning on to Anastasia street (I dont know the name of the street).
Then suddenly as Vinny approached the alley way between the Roller Rink and Walter’s lane, he heard a great commotion. Vinny rushed around the corner to see a short stocky man hunched over a long wiry thin man, beating him with a trashcan lid. “Stop!” yelled Vinny. Immediately the stocky man took off and rather than chasing him, Vinny ran to the man that was just assaulted. “Are you o.k.?” Vinny asked. The wiry man hesitaded, clearly still dazed, but then answered, “Ill live, but he took everything.” Vinny helped the man to his feet and asked him if he needed help getting home or to wherever he was going. The man said he would be alright and wandered off. Vinny continued to search.
