The Take Over, The Breaks Over
It was an almost eerily nice day… for NYC at least. After all most New Yorkers don't look up at the sky and say…."oh look, it's blue" let alone look up and say 'wow its really nice out. Yet today people did. A light breeze was blowing in off the ocean and it was unseasonably cool for early September. Summer seemed to have shrugged off a little and winter seemed to have started off a little early this year. People walked down the busy streets smiling at each other. Vendors hawked their merchandise, newsboys called from the corners and the constant thunder of carriages filled the roads. People welcomed the cool air after what was the hottes summer New York had ever seen. They seemed almost eerily happy and invigorated by the wonderful weather.
Unclaimed papers blew around the ground, while the cool wind blew through the air without a care in the world. A group of boys all in their teens walked in and out of the groups of people crowding the streets of Manhattan. Though many moved at the sight of them many remained unaware that they were around.
They were Brooklyn; the most feared and respected newsies in all of New York. Only one person dared step towards them and that was Jack Kelly leader of the Manhattan newsies.
"Heya Spot. What brings you to me fair domain?"
A boy from the group stepped forward and spitting in his hand shook with the Manhattan leader.
"Heya Jackie boy. I needed a break from the rest o' me boys, they been arguing like old maids. Heya Race. Any good pokah games tonigh?"
"Ise think that there is one going down in da Bronx right now, Ise heard that Queens is going. Sterling..you know Bronx's leader, got this whole big pardy planned in honor of his new goil."
"New goil? This is the first ise hearing about it. Its temptin' but I think I'll pass. Queens plays dirty. Hey Jackie youse going"
"Nah Spot. Ise got something Ise gotta take care of here."
"Ohhhh, sometin, or someone. What's her name and where is she from."
" She from da Bronx and her name is… wait why do you care Spot, youse be changing goils almost every week. Blink and Mush said they seen you with a new goil just this morning."
"Oh so now youse got your boys spying on me? Now you're in for it."
The two boys start pretend fighting when Jack, the Manhattan leader stopped to stare at what was coming his way.
"Hey Spot ain't that Chase ya know that newsie from da Bronx."
"Yeah, I think youse right. Why he walkin' like that, and why is he holding his side. Heya Chase youse alright."
That's when the boy bolted right towards them. "Jack! Youse guys gots ta come quick. It's horrible. Sterling is in real trouble. The oder newsies aint doin' to hot either. We tried to stop em before they got to the goil's lodgin house but there was to many of them. There were gun shots everywhere. I saw some a dem carrying some o da goils inta carriages. Dey was talkin' em somewhere. You gotta follow me, you gotta, Sterling is fighten dem off with as many of the boys that he could find, Jack youse just gotta."
"Wait kid! What's going on. I thought Sterling was at queens. What happened to the goils? What's going on?"
"It's Queen's, deys taking over da Bronx!"
"What do you mean taking over the Bronx?!"
"I mean that something happened at the pokah game and Queens leader started talking all wiered and stuff. He was saying things about how times was changing. That it was time for a new era or something. He said that the break was over. He said that it was time to take over things. He said the he would claim the Bronx and that he would take down any others that stood in his way."
"I'd like to see him try. He aint taking Brooklyn without a fight." Spot said
"Well I aint worried about Brooklyn Ise worried about da Bronx. Please Jack. He sent me ta find ya. Said we could count on ya after all the help he gave wit da strike and all."
"Alright kid let's get going we aint got much time."
