Their Hearts were racing. They ran as fast as their legs could carry them.
All they wanted was to get away from their apartments. Sweets and Lefty
lived across from each other on the top floor on a tenement building in
Brooklyn.
Lefty, rather Lindsay lived with her cousin Ben but you all know him as Spot. Sweets or Sarah lived with her brother Francis. yes Jack Kelly is her brother.the four of them were a tight nit group.
Frankie and Ben were Newsies while the girls were forced to stay at home cooking and cleaning. Both Sarah and Lindsay lost their mothers. Lefty lost both of her parents that's why she was living with Ben.
Every night the four of the would go up on the roof and tell each other what they would do when they got out of that hell hole.

We can't stay at home no more." "What about us? What are we gonna do?" Lindsay suddenly lashed out. "You assholes! Why are you doing this to us? Yo do know their gonna kill us!"
Lindsay and Sarah ran downstairs to their rooms and jumped into bed and ffell asleep from exaustion and crying.
BACK ON THE ROOF
" Spot what are we gonna do?" "Don't worry jack, we have to go and as soon as we can we'll get them outta there and they'll live with us." "Spot I dunno. I feel awful about leaving Sarah and Linds here." "Sar can take care of herself. So can Linds. Especially Linds. Besides if they get in real trouble then they'll come and find us." "Fine Lets go."
With that Spot and Jack left. Spot knew he'd miss linds. They were best friends. Spot was gonna miss her a lot. He was gonna miss Sarah an awful lot too. He secretly has a crush on her. Jakc loved his little sister even though he yelled at her a lot. He always bandaged her cuts after their father beat her. She had scars all over. Jakc was gonna miss Linds. He always went to her for advice.
