Flag, Buttons, Soot, Mick and Joe. I wish I owned Spot but I guess writing
about him is the next best thing.
CARRYING THE BANNER!!!!!!!!
Scotty was the leader for the Queens newsies. She was seventeen and a force to be reckoned with. There were five girls under her, not the biggest bunch of newsies ever but one of the best. There was not a day when one of the girls came back with papes left.
Ivy was her second in charge, she was a tough girl but no one was tougher then Scotty. Scotty was a Scottish born lass who immigrated with her little brother three years ago.
Buttons was sixteen and the sweetest of the girls, great in a fight but an even better caregiver.
Soot had family but had run away from them when she was thirteen. She was fifteen now and the youngest of the girls. She was shy but fiercely loyal.
Mouse was the girl of the group; there was not a guy in all of New York that could resist her when she turned her charm on.
Last but not least was Flag; she was the bookish girl, preferred reading to hanging out with everyone. She was a very enclosed person; the only one she ever opened up to was Scotty.
"Papes, heah, get yore papes!" Scotty called, "Giant crocodile lives in sewers!"
"That's a good one, what page?" Buttons laughed. Scotty shrugged. The two girls walked in silence up to the division line between their turf and the Manhattan newsies, when Ivy came running up, "Did you hear, Harlem trashed Manhattan turf last night!"
Buttons gasped, "What? Oh my god, do you think Davy's ok?" she looked imploringly to Scotty.
"Not shore lass, we 'ave ta see for ourselves after we sell our papes." She sighed at Button's crestfallen expression. "We need ta eat."
It was midday when the three newsies crossed the line into the Cowboy's turf. They headed straight to the lodging house, Scotty and Buttons bringing up the front while Mouse hung back bringing up the rear. When they reached the lodgings house they were shocked to see it trashed with windows broken and trash strewn everywhere.
Buttons gasped as she saw Davy and a few other newsies talking outside. Davy looked up and a relieved expression crossed his face as he caught his girlfriend in his arms. "I'm glad you are ok." She cried.
Davy smiled, and nodded to Scotty. "Jack's inside." Scotty grabbed onto mouse who was happily flirting with Kid Blink and dragged her inside.
Jack was inside talking to Crutchy and Spot. Scotty's nostrils flared at the handsome young Brooklyn newsie. He and Scotty had never gotten along, their difference of opinion on being leaders made it hard for them to be around each other.
Spot glared up at the two girls, "Lookie here of it ain't little miss Scotty."
Jack ignored his friend, "Is Flag here wit youse?"
Scotty lifted an eyebrow, "No, she's back in Queens with the rest of the girls. Why?" Jack blushed, "No reason."
Mouse eyed Jack, "Liar." Jack narrowed his eyes. "Spot and ise was just talking and we wants youse to know that we figure Harlem's not done. They wants dis turf as well as yours so we best get together to stop em."
Scotty ran a hand through her thick red curls, "We?"
"Yeah, -" but Jack was cut off when Soot ran into the building in tears, Buttons and Davy trailing behind her. She saw Scotty and threw herself into her arms, "Mick, it was.he came. Ivy and Flag." she broke down crying. "Said you have to come.. hurt them.." Scotty shoved Soot into Mouse's arms and took off.
She heard Jack fly after her spouting orders for some guys to follow but she never slowed down.
It took ten minutes to get there. She sprinted up the stairs to their rooms. She saw Ivy lying on the bed. "Ivy, lass, tell me what happened!"
Ivy turned over to look at her, her right was swollen and she had bruises all over her face. "They took her Scotty. Said it was personal. Said to meet em at central park tonight."
Jack crashed into his room. Scotty turned to him tears in her eyes, "They took her."
"No!"
