Who Said That?

Chapter 1: Cough
Davey had just sold a paper and pocketed a particularly shiny penny, when next to him Jack coughed slightly. Davey glanced at Jack, who seemed fine, but then coughed a bit more.
"You okay, Jack?"
"Fine, fine."
But then he started coughing harder, closing his eyes, leaning over, grasping David's shirtsleeve. Coughs racked his shoulders, as he gasped for breath. Davey grasped Jack's shoulders, alarm on his face, his own breath caught in his throat.
Jack, tears in his eyes from the continuous coughing, held a newspaper up to Davey and said, "Buy me last pape, mistah?"
"Oh, you're so dead," Davey said, smacking Jack on the chest, but there was relief on his eyes.
