Prologue
**disclaimer** I don't own Newsies, it belongs to Disney. I only own Lisa and Flash Savory.
"Hurry up Lisa! Hurry!" Joe leaned over the rail to catch her hand. The train was quickly picking up speed. Lisa missed his hand when she reached for it. She kept running. The gravel was kicking up into her face. She urged her muscles to move quicker, but they didn't comply. Joe looked down in time to see a metal bar come flying from under the train. He screamed as Lisa tripped over it, sending her sprawling onto the track. The train was going too fast to even consider catching up to. Joe lifted his leg to jump when he heard Lisa yell-
"No, I'll meet you in New York!"
He nodded reluctantly and yelled back, "I love you. I'll be looking for you!"
He didn't realize that he was crying until a tear dropped from his cheek to his hand. He looked down at his hand and then back up. God, please help her, he quickly made the sign of the cross. He didn't move his eyes or body from that spot until it was too dark to see.
