Chapter 1 (by Duo)
"Hey boys, yall all here?" Duo stood up from behind the crate.
"Yea, were all here." Some boys stood up, some coming from under sheets, and some from crates.
Duo walked over to the door of the boxcar and looked through the cracks. She sighed, in her heart she wished she was back home in Alabama, but her mind told her that staying meant endangering her boys, and she couldn't go through with that. She loved her little gang of boys more than her life itself. She couldn't stand the thought of looking them.
She felt an arm wrap around her neck, comforting her. "Duo, don't worry. We'll be alright."
Duo Looked up and met Hunt's eyes; he was the only one who cared for her more as just a friend. To him she was like his girlfriend, although he never told her how he felt.
To Duo all her boys were special, but Hunt was her favorite: strong, caring, smart.hack he had it all: the looks, the talent, everything.
"Sorry to disturb your moment, but where are we going anyways?" It was Fish of course: stupidest guy you will ever see.
Duo walked up to her boys and sat down on a crate. By then most of the guys were crowded around her. "Didn't you read the sign Fish, the train is heading to New York."
That's when all the commotion started; everyone started to talk at once. "NEW YORK!" Dem yanks up there!"
"Yea, I know that!" Duo leaned back, she enjoyed when she made the boys angry and scared.
"Yall know dem yanks hate us southerners!"
"HEY! Yall just shut up!" the talking stopped and Hunt stood on a crate, "So what if dem yanks hate us, that is why we have a leader like Duo here to protect us!"
Everyone started to crack up laughing.
"Hey, what you don't think im good enough for yall." Duo sat up grinning; she was always being joked around with.
"Theys gonna think we're crazy with a gurl leading us!"
Duo jumped up and grabbed Deer's neck, pinning him against the wall, "Whatcha saying Deer, ya know you shouldn't insult me!"
Everything was quiet for a while, until she let go of deer's neck. Turning around, she spotted Jason sitting in the corner, "hey, whats da matta Black- Jack? Ya look like ya thinking about something."
"Nah, just hoping."
"Bout what?" She sat down next to him.
"Just hoping that she will be there."
"Who is she? Some kind of girlfriend?" Duo smiled, "ya know you have to let me meet her first, only the best for my boys."
"no, she aint a girlfriend. She is just my sister."
"I never knew you had a sister."
"Yea, you don't want to hear about it. It was a long time ago and she probably doesn't remember me. I just hope I did the right thing by putting her on that train."
"Well I hope im doing the right thing by putting yall on this train." She was interrupted by the sound of a whistle, indicating they were pulling into the station. She stood up and walked over to the door. "Hey, we better get off before they come to check the cars for passengers like us." With that she opened the door. "Who wants to go first?"
"Are you saying that we have to jump off?" Coon piped up. He was barley twelve and was afraid of almost anything, but he would never admit it.
"Yes, Coon we got to jump. If they catch us here they will arrest us."
"Ok, come on chickens, let's go!" Coon walked over to door and peered over the edge. They were still moving pretty fast. He tried to back up, but Duo stopped him.
"Come on Coon. Lets go together." Duo grabbed his hand and jumped off, hitting the gravel hard. "OUCH! Oh, shit! That hurt! Coon, you alright buddy?"
"Me? Im fine! Never better!" tears were running down his face, he wasn't fine. His leg was bleeding and there was a possibility that he broke it. She picked him up.
One by one the rest jumped, but landing better than Duo and Coon. Duo walked over to the boys, caring Coon. "Listen, we got to get Coon some help. Lets go into town, ok?"
They left the train station, heading for the city.
"Hey you boys. Where is the nearest doctors' office?" Fish asked some guys. He and Hunt had left to go find a doctor, while Duo and the others watched Coon, they just couldn't carry the poor boy around all day.
"Hey Sag, yous hearin' wut im hearin'?"
"Yea, I think I am. Look wut we found, a couple of hicks up here in New York! Why don't you gets home before I soak ya!"
"Listen, we got to get to a doctor right now! Are yall going to help or not?" Hunt grabbed the boys' color; He couldn't stand it. Coon was hurt and Hunt wasn't going to let anyone get in his way.
"You touch us, Spot will come after you with a cane!"
"Well, I don't know who Spot is, so what does it matter." He throw the boys to the ground.
"what's the matta boys?" Duo walked up. "Fish, Hut have you found a doctor yet? We've been waiting for a long time."
"Listen ya scabbers. Yous better shut your mouth! I wanna talk to yous leader!" Both of the boys looked pissed that they were being beaten.
"Ya talking to her." Duo got up in their face, "Whatcha want?"
"hehe.yous dare leader! But yous a goil!" The boys started laughing.
"yes, I am! Whatchall going to do about it, beat me?" I can tall by yall's scrawny arms that you arnt very strong."
"Don't insult Brooklyn newsies!" The boys stepped forward, one pulling out a slingshot the other clinching his fists, both trying to defend their rep.
Duo laughed, "So you want to fight me, huh. Well I wouldn't if I were you!"
We aint afraid of any goil!"
"Sag, lets to get into any fights, look at him!" The Brooklyn Newsie pointed at Hunt.
"You better run!" Duo laughed. She wouldn't sick Hunt on them. They were too weak to last very long with Hunt, "Now tell us the information we need or else!"..
