Chapter summary…(this chapter is kinda short): this chapter Gem finally gets to go to the Manhattan LH…
To be continued is being continued…
"Hey girl! Wake up!" Someone poked me with something. I squinted my eyes and saw a boy standing above me.
"Leave me alone!" I yelled and continued to sleep. He looked taken back.
"Do you know who your talking too?" he asked as if everyone should know. I looked up at the kid to humor him at least. I saw his gray cap that matched his gray eyes then looked down and saw a cane in his hand and a slingshot tucked in his pants. I panicked this was Spot Conlon! Did he know who I was? Did he know about Crooks?
"Hey clam down girl! I aint gonna hurt you." He said looking at my frightened expression; I quickly regained a strait face. He held out his hand for me to take. "I just wanted to let you know that you don't have to sleep out here. I'm sure Jacky boy wouldn't mind another girl to add to his collection." He said while helping me off the dirty ground.
"Yea, if I think da Jack you'se is talking about is the Jack I'se thinking about, I'm pretty sure he won't mind." I could tell by his confused expression he had no idea what I was talking about. "Jack, Jack Kelly?" He only nodded "Jack or Jacky boy as you put it owes me one."
"So why didn't you sleep dere last night?" he asked suspiciously.
"Cause I didn't know exactly where here was." This Conlon kid asked a lot of questions, he seemed very arrogant and temperamental, he defiantly lived up to his reputation. He nodded but I don't think he totally believed me.
"Well what's your name girl?"
"Gemini."
"Well Gem dis here is da LH." He pointed to a small brick building in front of me. "Lets go see Jack." He gestured for me to go in first. He never ever turned his back on someone he didn't know, so I herd.
We walked in to a main room, it ranked of smoke. An old man waved to Spot from behind the counter. He looked friendly enough.
"Hey Spot I the girls just left and I was just on my way up to wake the boys." He said in a small horse voice.
"Heya Klopmen. I want to introduce you ta ya new member Gemini. Gem dis is Klopmen." Klopmen smiled warmly at me, then guestured for us to follow him up stairs to the bunkroom. It looked like the one in the Bronx except this one was a little bigger and cleaner.
"Everyone get up!!! When its time to get up you gotta get up! Lets go outta bed! Rise and shine!" he called and was met with the groan of many sleeping boys.
"Hey Blink, have you seen my…" Racetrack's eyes narrowed as he saw Blink smoking his cigar. "What the hell am I a freaking cigar vender!" he yelled as he snatched it out of Blinks mouth. I smiled to my self as I observed the rest of the bunkroom. Next to Blink and the Italian kid, there was a darker boy with brown curly hair. He yawned while raising his arms over his head. Every muscle in his body was distinctly outlined perfectly. His face seemed very boyish but cute.
"Hey Mush put your shirt on we'se got company!" Spot yelled making his presence known.
"I thought the goils already left." Mush said dismissing the Brooklyn leaders suggestion of a shirt but continued to talk to Blink and the Italian kid.
"Who's yer friend Spot?" a boy in a pink shirt held out his hand to me.
"I'm Gemini." He smiled at me.
"Skittery! Stop flirtin' wit da girl. We'se got papers ta sell." Jack yelled still not seeing who I was.
"Hey Jack I'd like ya ta meet Gem." Spot led me over to where Jack was putting on his bandanna. Jack looked at me upon hearing my name. He eyed me up and down and smiled.
"Well look what you got dere Spot, you even managed to get a name from her?" he said in mock astonishment.
"Hey your da one who said you owe me one." I reminded him. He and Spot laughed. In unison "Well I needs a place ta stay, the place where I was at kinda fell through."
"Well Gem it looks like you got a new place ta stay now. Its six cents a week and you'se gotta buy your own papes." Jack said spitting into his hand, I did the same which sealed the deal. We walked out of the LH together and down to the distribution center.
