Hey guys! Thanks for all the great reviews! I'm still not sure what to put next but this is just to give you a taste of what's coming up! Thanks again please R&R!

Spot and the others came back a while later. They walked up the stairs and Blaze wasn't there.

"Blaze you here?" Spot hollered.

"No, but you can come to her trial Monday." Oscar said from the corner grinning madly.

"Get outta my lodging house." He said fingering his slingshot.

He left smirking all the way.

I woke up in a jail cell, my leg throbbing. I closed my eyes nervous what I would see, and gently poked my shin. I felt something sticky and warm. Blood. I looked down at my leg. There was the word:

Grafter

I tried to stand up, and pain fleeted through my leg. I sat back down and found my money gone and my slingshot stolen. A bull came in and dragged me to my feet and put handcuffs on me. I was pulled past a variety of cells and pushed through a door which led to a courtroom. A judge sat down.

"Judge E. Monahan Presiding. Case of Melissa Smith. Charged for Assault, resisting arrest, and theivery."

"Ah, well," The judge started.

"Yer honor, we object." I knew that voice. There was Spot and Race.

"On what grounds?"

"On the grounds of Brooklyn." Spot said. I smirked.

"Yer honor, how much is the bail?" Race said his hand in his pocket.

"What bail? Judging by this poor goil, you'se leading her into destructive behavior. She will be hired out by the city. Away from you two."

Hired out? The words swirled in my head.

"Can we talk to her? To say bye?" Race said wringing his cap in his hands.

"No, she will be sent out at once. Move along." He said banging his gavel. How did this happen? I pushed the bulls aside. I tried to run to them.

"Don't worry about me, stay away from the Delanceys. Don't do anything stupid, I don't need you in jail. Okay, Bye." I said letting the bulls take me away.
