Chapter 14

"You…you don't think they'se was taken, do ya?" the littlest newsie, Pint, asked.

"I saw Crutch and Moose still rippin' up some papes when we'se was runin'. I called to 'em and assumed dey was followin'," Race explained.

"If dey took Crutchy, Jean obviously went wid 'em," Casey added. "She'd never leave him."

"I swears, if those chumps hoit our friends…well, Brooklyn's one of me best friends. So, I thinks you know where I'm goin' wid dis," Fiona threatened.

"Dis is exactly why we needs Brooklyn's 'elp," Skittery pointed out.

"We can't continue widout 'em, Jack. Dis is what we'se was afraid of," Mush commented.

"No. We can't stop. Da fight is on and we'se gotta keep it goin', Brooklyn or no Brooklyn," Jack told them.

"And the foist thing we gotta do is bust out Jean and crutchy!" Casey cried.

"How?" David questioned. "We don't even know where they are."

"Dey'se was taken tad a Refuge," Jack answered. "Dey catch two poor kids in da middle of all dis…yeah, dey'se dere."

"What do we need ta do ta get 'em out?" Amanda asked; and they started planning.

Not being able to do much because of his limp, Crutchy had climbed onto a large stack of newspapers and started throwing them around. Jean saw him and left Specs to go to him and do the same. They never heard the cops' whistles.

They had both been in their own little world until they heard race call out to them, "'Ey! Crytchy! Moose! Scram! Scram! It's da bulls!"

"Oh no. C'mon, let's get," Jean said to Crutchy. She helped him down and handed him his crutch. She tried to help him move faster. She really wanted to try to avoid the whole refuge part of the movie.

They were about to leave when three policemen blocked their path through the gate. Terrified, they turned and came face to face with the Delanceys.

"Oh, hey fellas," Crutchy greeted them, trying to be nice.

"Hey, hi," they said back, being fake until Oscar kicked the crutch from under Crutchy's arm, making him fall to the ground. He was clearly in pain, and Jean couldn't stand it.

"You idiots!" she yelled as Oscar dragged Crutchy into an alley, and Morris had grabbed her and was pulling her the same way. "You'll go ta hell! Da both of ya! I'll stab you 64 times wid da Mannlicher!" The brothers were ignoring everything she was saying. She started beating Morris's arm and sticking her nails, trying to get him to let go. But he wouldn't/

At this point, Morris had her up against the wall.

"I think we have some unfinished business," he told her, creepily. He then kissed her very roughly.

After trying to pull away and not being able to, she kneed him in his "guy area". She didn't hard enough to seriously injure him, but she did make him back off from her. She tried to run, but he grabbed her arm and pulled her back, making her fall hard to the ground. She was knocked unconscious.

All the while, Oscar had been working on Crutchy. He kept hitting him and kicking him. When Crutchy heard Jean fall, he looked to her and saw she was unconscious. Anger boiled up inside of him, and with all his strength he started to fight back. He punched Oscar and Morris, who had left Jean, as hard as he could. But they were still stronger and so he kept getting knocked back down.

He was about to be punched again when a voice spoke, "Okay boys. That's enough." Crutchy felt like he was about to pass out, but he used all his will power to look up. He saw an older man with white hair in a suit and bowling hat standing above him. He knelt down in front of Crutchy and said, "Hello street rat," with a creepy smile spreading. Before he could go on, Crutchy blacked out.

All day, Fiona couldn't stop thinking about what Skittery and Mush had said.

We do need Brooklyn, she had thought. Dis is just the beginning. It's only getting' harder from 'ere.

"AP? AP?" Amanda tried to get her attention. Casey nudged her and she snapped back.

"Sorry, what?" The three of them were hanging out together in their room.

"You okay?" Caey asked.

"Yeah, I'm just…we can't do dis by ourselves! Two of us, Jean bein' one of 'em, were arrested!"

"We know," Amanda agreed. "But what are we supposed ta do? Spot doesn't think we'se serious and won't 'elp until he does."

"What da hell do we have ta prove ourselves for?" Casey exclaimed. "Dey shoulda seen us 'ere taday! Dey woulda known we'se serious."

"Ya know what? You're right! Dis is ridiculous," Fiona spoke out as she stood up and headed for the door.

"Where are ya goin'?" Amanda asked.

"Brooklyn."
