The cool October wind stirred Bethany's dark ebony colored hair as she walked towards the restaurant were the newsies met nearly everyday. The minute she arrived Les Jacobs announced her.
"Bethany's here!" That was all it took to set off Jack and David.
"'Bout time ya got here Princess, we's was scared some Brooklyn spies gottcha." Jack said, Bethany frowned at her older brother; Jack never openly talked about the war, at least… not with her. David must've seen the confusion on her face,
"There was another invasion last night." Jack went off
"Not just a invasion, they nearly got Mush on his way home! This was a deliberate strike against us!"
"Will you two stop? You'll scare the poor thing to death!" Bethany looked up and saw Sarah Jacobs sitting in the corner giving the two newsies a death glare.
"I'm fine Sarah, I'm a Kelly we're stronger than we look." Sarah rolled her eyes in response.
"How many got 'cross the bridge do ya think?" Bethany asked interested.
"Twenty at most." David said
"Are we gonna soak 'em Jack?" Bethany asked excitedly.
"Nah," Jack said
"Too many of 'em,"
"What do ya mean 'too many of 'em'? We's got the people tah do it!" Bethany cried
"We'd lose more than we'd soak," David said
"Spot's ruthless, Bethy."
"I think youse all are scared of Brooklyn!" Bethany cried
"Hey, we ain't scared of Brooklyn. It's Spot Conlon that makes us a little nervous." Jack cried
"Well he don't scare me!" Bethany huffed
"He should" David muttered under his breath.
"I heard that David Jacobs!" Bethany snapped before she stormed off to sit with Sarah and Crutchy.
That night Bethany walked home by herself, Jack was busy cuddling with Sarah and David was busy giving an inspiring speech. So they didn't notice Bethany slipping out the back of the restaurant. The bitterly cold October wind bit at her skin but she didn't mind. It made her feel alive, Bethany made it three blocks before she noticed she was being followed by three figures, the fifteen year old felt a chill run down her spine, and it wasn't because of the cold. Don't be ridiculous. She scolded herself, its just Les, Boots and Mush tryin' tah scare me.
Bethany made it three more blocks before her paranoia got the best of her and she bolted.
"Get 'er!" One of the figures shouted as they chased after her, it wasn't a voice she recognized.
And it had a Brooklyn accent.
"Don't let 'er get away!"
"GO! GO!" Bethany ran as hard and as fast as she could but her attackers soon over came her and stuffed her into a large sack.
Bethany screaming for her brother the entire time.
