Good luck finding a job right now, kiddo. With the number of refugees in the city, chances are that anyone hiring will be paying dirt wages, and might not want to hire a kid. Still, he might get lucky!
"The guy who told me they were here said that a, uh, mutual friend might've set Melanie and everyone up in their place." In a ship. He can see the dim outline of a ship way up at the edge of the atmosphere, just a blur of blue-on-blue. Is that the ship that Needles meant? How in the hell are they supposed to contact somebody all the way up there? "I don't know where their place is, though."
And he's never going to spot a thing in this crowd. Where can they go to get higher up? The cliffs? Is there another option? "...Hey, okay, I know how to find them. Let's head downtown, right into the middle of everything, and find whoever's in charge of all this." If Luida was giving a speech on the radio the other day about the Earth ships, then she's got to be nearby, right? She'll know where Melanie and the kids are, if they're here.
