Chaptah 7
It was getting dark and we had to walk from Queens to Manhattan. So we decided to stay at the Queens lodging house. I knocked on the door and it opened.
"What do ya want?" the boy at the door asked.
"Wes need a place ta stay." Spot said.
The boy took one look at him and let us in. he told the man at the front desk that we needed a place to stay. The boy came back to us and gestured us to follow him. We went into a room with 3 or 4 other guys. They all took one look at me and let out a pretty whistle.
"So what ya doin' here?" one boy asked, as he looked at me with his crystal blue eyes.
"Wes jist needed a place ta stay the night." Spot said moving between the boy, breaking our gaze and me. The boy backed up and tripped. He fell to the ground. I came around Spot and helped him up. He brushed his self off and went back to his place.
"Wes calls him Hypno 'cause his eyes are hypnotizing." Said another boy.
"Ya I can tell," Spot said," he almost had Manhattans foist goil Newsie."
"Oh dat wouldn't be good." Hypno said as he smiled at me.
"No it wouldn't. Dey only gots two goil Newsies, ya know." Spot smirked. He leaned over to me who was still looking at Hypno and whispered," I'll keep dese goons off ya, ok."
I nodded my head. He lightly slapped me on the face and I looked at him.
"Sorry 'bout dat. T'anks." I said.
"No problem. Jist try not to look into his eyes so much, ok."
"Ok." Now I was locked on his eyes, but I turned away quickly.
"Dis is Stump, Hypno, Rat, and I's Smarty, short for Smart Alec. Say have you by any chance seen or hoid of a boy called Jordan Lee? I guess he goes by da name Toughy. I's his bruddah, Justin Lee." Smarty added.
"Ya Wes hoid of him. He's with us in Manhattan. Jack and I named him Toughy."
"So he's with youse guys." He said.
"Yes, and he's got a goil too." I said.
"Have youse guys been takin' good care of him?" Smarty asked.
"Yes we have." I said with my normal voice.
