Hey Guys! Just wanted to put up the disclaimer for this one. I don't own Newsies! Anyway thank you for my two reviews. I feel loved. Anyway enjoy the second chapter of Savior, and tell me what you think!
The next morning Sammie passed Jack's empty cell. His hearing had been that morning and she had made sure he was slightly presentable. Sammie put all the dishes to soak in the sink and dried her hands. She grabbed her shawl and slipped through the back door. Sammie walked quickly towards the courthouse only to find it swamped with newsies. She spotted one in particular.
"Race! What is going on? What are you doing here?" Sammie scolded the boy as she gently touched the shiner surrounding his left eye. Race just smiled.
"Savior! I'm fine. I promise. Newsie's honor! I was in jail last night, and your boy Denton just bailed me and tons of other newsies out!" Sammie blushed as Race effectively changed the topic.
"Race you know Denton and I aren't like that! Why he's twenty nine, and I only just turned twenty!" Race just shrugged.
"You have known each other since diapers, well he's known you since you were in diapers, but you know that doesn't really matter 'cause you still grew up together, an.."
"RACE! I know." Sammie smiled. Brian Denton and Samantha Kings had grownup together.
Their parent's had both been factory workers, and they lived in the same apartment complex. At the ages of nine and one the two had no use for each other, and often avoided each other as they grew, but when Samantha's mother died the nine year old Sammie spent more time in the Denton family apartment. Brian at that point had been like a big brother to her then. With him being eighteen and she being exactly half that the roles of brother and sister suited them. As Brian's father climb up the occupational ladder at work, Samantha's father had no such luck and was actually close to getting fired. Then one day Samantha's was killed in a factory accident. She then became a legal ward of the state at the age of thirteen, and went to work in the refuge. When Brian Turned twenty he earned a job at one of the newspapers in New York the New York Sun. He still paid Samantha visits at the refuge, but then he was promoted and sent of to cover the war. When he came back she was seventeen and he was twenty four; suddenly the age difference didn't seem so bad anymore. That had been three years ago and their brother sister bond had slowly started to change.
Sammie was pulled out of her blast to the past by the judge's gavel hitting the block of wood in front of him. Sammie could just spot Jack being moved further into the courthouse over the sea of people in front of her. Soon Brian's face surfaced from the crowd.
"Brian, what is Jack's sentence? Will he be okay?" Brain just smiled sadly, and shook his head.
"You might be seeing more of him at the refuge." Sammie sighed. She feared that too many years in that place would turn Jack angry and bitter. Brian put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"But with you there He should be fine." Sammie smiled at Brain; He always new how to brighten her spirits.
"Well, I should get back to work I just wanted to come and make sure Jack was alright."
"Well go I don't want you to give Snyder a reason to dock your paycheck. Just meet me at Tibby's tonight when you get off, okay?" Sammie nodded her agreement and disappeared into the crowd; as Brain let the newsies pull him down the street.
