!An Offer No One Could Refuse!

I woke up that morning feeling quite well for just being beaten to a bloody pulp. Then again I hadn't tried to move yet, that, I think will be the determining factor of how I really feel. Unfortunately for me Crooks walked in and yanked me to my feet. I felt horrible! Every muscle in my body hurt. His fingers dug in to my arm as he forced me off the ground.

"Good morning sunshine." He smiled and shoved me in a chair. Two other boys that I recognized from the distribution center were also in the room with us.

"Remember me goily?" the one with the bowler hat came up close to my face. I turned my head to the side trying to escape his fowl smelling breath.

"Haven't you eveah heard of brushin' your teeth?" I asked my nose scrunching up to get away from the awful smell. His smiled faded. Crooks stepped in before he could hit me.

"Lets not get a head of ourselves." His gold eyes fixated on mine, he grinned mischievously. I groaned involuntarily. Wasn't one day of torture enough? I thought sarcastically. Suddenly Pec's burst through the door panting.

"Crooks we got trouble." Then as if on cue a voice could be faintly heard from outside.

"Crooks!  I know you'se in dere! You got ta da count of five ta get your ugly mug out hear or else we'se is coming in…. One…." It was Spot. Crooks cursed under his breath.

"Alright," he declared "Morris you stay wit Gem. Oscar Pec's you round up da guys and get dem outside and fast. I'se gonna go have a chat wit Spotty boy… NOW!" everyone jumped up to do his biding. Leaving me and Morris alone in the room for the time being. Morris pulled out some rope and tied me to the chair.

"That outta keep you outta my hair." He smirked then went over to the widow to check out what was happening. "Looks like ya loveah showed up afta all." That means Brooklyn and Manhattan not to mention the Bronx all against Crooks. He didn't stand a chance in hell. The thought made me smile.

"Four!" Spot was still yelling numbers. " and five…"

"Keep ya suspenders up I'se hear Conlon!" Crooks' voice rang loud and clear. I strained my ears trying to hear what was going on.

"Crooks I'se changing my ultimatum you'se better get out of New York taday or else we'se is gonna make ya… no more negotiations." I could picture Spots gray eyes glaring back at Crooks' now probably yellow eyes.

"Ya know its not good ta use ones whole vocabulary in one sentence Spot or else you'se gonna have nothing left ta say." Spot didn't wait for another opportunity. He lunged toward Crooks, which started and all out brawl. Or so I thought that's what was happening. I looked at Morris. He didn't look to smart, and with Crook's newsies busy this would be the perfect opportunity to escape.

"So Morris… How it's going?" He eyed me suspiciously. "Ya know we never got to have fun like ya promised." He smiled and walked over to me with purpose.

"What kinda fun was you thinkin'?" he inquired. I really just wanted to vomit all over his ugly face but decided against it.

"If you un tie my hands then I'll show ya." Not expecting it to work right away like that, see I thought I was just getting started that I would have to convince him more, but sure enough he was the stupidest person I had ever met. He took out his knife and cut the ropes from my hands. Big mistake on his part.

I jumped up and kneed him in the groin. He doubled over clutching himself, I smirked then my left hand swung under his chin forcing him to stand straight up again, I quickly swung my right hand at his face. It connected nicely with his jaw making a sweet sounding crunch. He fell to the floor in agony. I ran out the door before he could get up, and repay the favor.

Outside I saw Crook's newsies retreating followed by all of Brooklyn and most of Manhattan. I could also make out the Bronx girls all flinging themselves one guy then moving to the next. I scanned the area for Crooks, sure enough Spot and Crooks were fighting man to man in a near by alley. I smiled as Spot hit Crooks' face over and over and over again. It made me happy. Grinning stupidly to myself I walked down the steps inhaling my first real breath of Freedom, Freedom from Crook and Freedom of everything ever holding me back.

I stopped short when I saw Jack staring at me, I looked at him the averted my gaze and walked past him. He followed me down the street.

"What are you doing?" I finally asked breaking the silence. I even gathered enough courage to look at him.

"Well, I was going to rescue you, but it turns out you don't need rescuing." He smiled at me. I keep my expression the same.

"Yea I don't need ta be rescued, Morris wasn't dat hard to get away from." I laughed to myself thinking about how stupid he was.

"Is he da one dat did dat ta ya?" He asked motioning to the side of my face, which I imagined looked horrible.

"Naw dats Crooks' handy woik." There was a long silence. "Look Jack, I'se better be on my way I gotta find a job and a place ta sleep before morning." I turned and started walking in the opposite direction.

"You already have a job…" I stopped and turned back around to look at him. "And a place ta sleep if ya want." He finished

"No I don't think I do, someone made it very clear dat I wasn't welcome." I shot back.

"Well he's really sorry and wants to make it up ta ya." He stepped closer to me.

"Well you, he, better make me an offer I cant refuse." Unexpectedly he pinned me to the wall of a building and kissed me hard on the mouth, his hand fisted in my hair, his other hand rested on my hip. My hands slowly crept up his chest and rested around his neck pulling him closer to me. My stomach twirled with excitement as we kissed for a long time. Reluctantly we separated still pressing up against one another.

"Well… I think I might be able to stay after all. Dat's definitely an offer I can't refuse…" He smirked and pulled me into another earth shattering kiss.
