I was in for two months for disturbing the peace and starting a fight, but like I was actually going to stay there. I didn't bother to make new friends; just said hi to the people there I already. The first thing I looked at were the barred windows. Yes!! They were the same kind at the orphanage! This would make things a lot easier. I waited until night and then took a piece of glass I had found and used the tip to unscrew the screws that were placed in each corner of the window. I only unscrewed two of the four and then pried the window open just enough for me to get out. It was a good thing I was a small girl. I slid out the window and stood the building side ledge. I carefully inched my way to the gutter, I had to be extra careful because the ledge was abnormally narrow. When I got to the gutter I slide down it as quietly as I could, which was pretty quiet. I waited to the carriage I watched come in to leave. If I could get next to it I wouldn't have to jump the fence, just one thing made easier. I hide on the side of buggy and crept out into the street's shadows. When I was further away I loosened up and walked back to the lodging house. When I got there I was greeted with much interest. Kid Blink was the first to notice my return and asked,

"Where's Jack?"

"Jack?" I said, truly puzzled.

"Yea, he, Race and Skittery went to bust youse out tonight."

"OH" I said sort of shocked that someone would come to break me out. "Ise got out witout 'em"

"How'd you do dat?" Boots asked in disbelief.

"Ise unscrewed da windows and slid down da gutter."

I received looks of astonishment from all of them.

"Race was right, man dis ain't no ordinary goil." Mush said to Blink, who just nodded in agreement.

"Well," I said feeling awkward "Ise be goin' ta bed. See yas tomorrow mornin'." And that night I slept in my nightgown.
