"So what's new?" I asked.
"The Delanceys got a new guy, Romeo," Spot said.
"You made the papes! Front page!" Specs said.
"Why are you limping?" asked Boots. I sat down on the edge of a bunk.
"So who's this Romeo guy?"
"The Delanceys are on the brink of a borough dispute, they got him from the Bronx bois as back up. He's apparently a huge flirt and they hope to catch you, and have him get all of Brooklyn's plans outta you," Spot said. I shivered at the thought of what he would do.
"So, we beat 'em to the punch! Work out an agreement, and boom! We're all good," I said.
"That might work," Specs said.
"You crazy? Any scab I see, I soak 'em period!" Spot protested.
"I know, but we can't risk it, Spot! Especially with the younger Newsies, and my leg's screwed up. You know if we would want to win you would need me in the front lines because I can send 'em running with a glare!" I protested.
"What they do to you?" Spot asked growing angrier by the minute.
"Yeah," Race chimed in.
"They cut up my leg," I said quietly.
"More reason to soak 'em I say," Spot said.
"Let's see how bad it looks," Race sighed. I rolled up my pant leg and unwound the bandage Owens had put on it a week ago.
"You'se no grafter! The bums!" Race said as I wound the bandage back up, his hands balling into fists.
"We gotta show 'em Brooklyn means business!" Spot said.
"And get us arrested! Trust me I never want wear another skirt in my whole life!" I said angrily.
"What's going on?" Mush said walking up the stairs. He had a sleeping kid on his back.
"Who's the kid?" Jack asked patiently.
"I found him in an alley, no more than three, I couldn't leave 'im in the cold. Can we keep him?" He said walking over and handing him to me since I was the only girl in the room. I balanced the sleeping kid on my hip.
"See spot, we're in no condition to fight them." I said angrily.
"You're right but we gotta fight now before it gets outta hand, Blaze,"
"Next they're gonna arrest us for starving," Blink growled.
"We could try to get them arrested," Bumlets suggested.
"No, we gotta give them a chance. If you fight fire with fire, you get an inferno," I said. Race stood next to me and took my hand.
"Go back to Brooklyn with Spot. With this Romeo guy walking around I don't want you hurt or worse," He said.
"I'm not going anywhere without putting up a good fight, send someone with me when I sell my papes, fine. But I'm staying here for a bit to make sure you'se don't get on bad terms with the Delanceys. Give me a week, Spot. I'll see what I can do. If it gets outta hand, I'll go back to Brooklyn, and well declare a borough fight Manhattan Newsies and Brooklyn against Scabs." Spot glared at me. I glared back.
"Fine, one week. I'll be back to see how it's going." He said standing up, he picked up his cane and left.
"We gotta find this kid a bunk," I said.
"We'll, if ya decide to share with ya boyfriend, we can get this little guy one," Jack said.
"Where should I set 'im then?" I asked curiously.
"Heah," He said showing me one. I handed him off to Jack and walked over to a poker game that was starting.
