"Is this your daughter Thomas?"
"Yes, Mr. Governor" replied Thomas Macarthur "These are my daughters, Lily and Anya"
"Anya, that's and interesting name for an Irish girl,"
"My mother is German," said Anya looking up from her studies at the man, her eyes filling with contempt.
Governor Andrews was a horrid little man. The ugly Leprechaun is what Lily had called him. HE had tortured their friend and killed the boy Lily had loved since she was a child, and all because they had the courage to stand up and say that he was wrong.
"How would you like to come and work for me as a maid?" said the governor "I understand you're out of work Thomas"
Huh, work for him, thought Anya, the idea has possibilities. So much she could tell her friends, information that would save them from losing more of their Leaders and friends.
"I would enjoy that very much"
"Excellent"
Revolution stood paralyzed in her seat, that's impossible, I killed him, she thought. She looked down again and sure enough standing in a seat below them applauding the Symphony was Jameson Andrews or someone who looked remarkably like him.
"Itey, we have ta go," she said whispering.
"Why?"
"I can't explain"
"All right" said Itey grabbing her cape from the back of her chair and covering her shivering arms.
She looked back at the man who took that opportunity to look up. She gasped in shock and ran from the hall.
"Revolution!" yelled Itey watching her flee.
She couldn't stop running; her memories flooded in and caused her chest to tighten. When she reached the Brooklyn Bridge she stopped running, the tight elegant shoes causing her to trip.
"Whooo kid" said a voice.
Revolution looked up to see Dagger standing arm in arm with Spot.
"Rev, what are ya doin all da way done here?" she asked.
Revolution just looked up and shook her head.
"Come on girl, wouldn't ta dirty dat dress" said Spot helping her up.
1 "Stand up Anya" yelled the governor "wouldn't want my whore dirtying her new dress"
"I am not your whore" yelled Anya.
"Oh I am sorry my maid"
He sidled up to her and ran his hand down her arm.
"I know what you've done. Who you really are. Revolution, the famed writer who has been running the underground resistance since your father's escape to NY and your mother's untimely death"
"Don't touch me"
"Why shouldn't I? You've betrayed me young one. I don't deal with betrayal well"
"I swear on mah mudda's grave, Ya touch me again and I'll slit your throat"
"Don't touch me" whispered Revolution. "Please don't touch me"
"Its okay Rev" said Dagger
"Jus please leave me alone"
Revolution slipped off her shoes and ran off in the opposite direction.
"What da hell?" Asked Spot perplexed.
"I dunno, but if she's dis upset, it can't be good"
"We betta go see what's goin on" said Spot.
Itey paced back in forth in the Lodging House, where the hell is she? He thought to himself. It was so late and it wasn't safe for any girl to be alone a night, not even a girl as strong as Revolution.
"Don't Worry Itey" said Skint "We'll find her"
"Yeah, we will," said Stress "I promise"
"Where are ya Rev?" asked Itey under his breath.
That's when Kc Maclurnen walked in with her twin sister Skate. They stood next to Snoddy and both looked upset.
"Ya didn't find her, did ya?" asked Itey.
Kc's big blue eyes filled up with tears.
"I'm sorry, we looked ever where"
"Its like she just…"
"Disappeared," said a quiet voice.
They all turned around to see Bella Andova, who was Revolution's best friend. She was holding a note in her trembling hand.
"What is it Bella?" asked Itey "What's it say? When did you get it?"
"I went upstairs to see if she was there and it was sitting on mah bed"
Itey took the note and Bella sat down shakily.
To Everyone,
Please don't be angry with me. Someone I once knew is here and its not safe for me too be around anyone I care for. They always end up dead or in jail. Please don't worry, I love you all and I'll return when I can. Dear, sweet Itey, you are the best part of me and I love you with every fiber of my being. I swear to you that I will return.
Love always and forever,
Revolution.
"I wont stand here and let her get herself killed," yelled Itey "I wont"
Then he did something no newsie had done in front of the rest of them, he broke down in tears. Bella released herself from Swifty's embrace and went to Itey. She hugged him and stroked his hair as he sobbed.
"We'll find her," she whispered, "I promise"
"Try Central Park its guaranteed" said Racetrack Higgins.
Revolution looked at the kindly Italian boy.
"Tanks Race"
"No Prob Red"
Oh I miss everyone already, thought Revolution as she sat shivering on a Central Park bench. She missed Race, the only Newsy that could call her Red, with out getting a black eye. She missed Swifty who had taught her the fine art of flips. She missed Bella, her best friend and music partner. She missed the others at the house, the ones who always made sure they had each others back. Most of all she missed Itey. The boy who had soothed the broken hearted girl and taught her that not everyone was going to hurt her or leave her.
"Wkae up!" yelled Kloppmann coming into the lodging House shocked to see most of the boys were up already. "You boys sick?"
"Nah, we'se on a mission" said Kid Blink "On of da goils is missin"
"We'se gonna sell and find her" said Specs.
"Who?"
"Revolution"
"Hows Itey doin?"
"He aint so good."
Itey had been straing out the window all night long hoping to hear the familiar sound of pebbles on the window.
"Itey, come on wake up?"whispered a femine voice from below the open window.
HE looked out to see the girl of his dreams, Revolution Fredrick, standing there, her beautiful face flushed with excitement. He slid out of bed and wuietyl went out to the fire escape.
"Are you crazy?"
"umm.." she whispered "Probably, come on Itey, I wanna show ya sumptin"
He quietly climbed down the ladder and walked up next to her. She grabbed his hand and smiled impishly. Then started running, Itey had to run just to stay with her. They finally reached Central Park, Revolution looked up at the sky.
"Dis is perfect" she said Spreading out a blanket.
"what is goin on?"asked Itey.
"Sit, ya'll see, its almost itme"
And that's when the meteor shower began. Itey gasped in amazement, he laye dbackwards and watched. Revolution shocked him by laying down beside him and wrapping her arms around him.
"Hey Itey,"
"Yeah Rev"
"How come ya haven't asked me to be your girl?"
"I didn't tink ya liked me like dat"
"Silly boy" she replied kissing his nose.
"Would ya?"
"What?"
"Be mah goil?"
"Gee Itey, I dunno" she said feigning innocence "Of course"
He leaned over and kissed her deeply on her mouth.
"Oh Rev, come back" he whispered.
"Come on Kid" said Jack "We'se better go sell"
Revolution sat on the same bench palying her violin quietly. She had chosen a spot that was far from any Newsies spot she knew of, In a way she wish they would find her but she knew that would be dangerous for them all. she had seen Jameson, two more times and he had asked Mrs. Miller if she had heard of a girl Named Anya Fredrick. TO which Mrs.Miller had said "no, but I know a girl named Anya Thompson, who matches that description."……
