"Tommy! Let's go! We gotta go back ta Manhattan," Anne yelled down to the docks were a crowd of newsie stood around her baby brother.

"Aww...sissy. I don't wanna go back," he whined, taking another shot at the lined up bottles.

"We gotta. There's someone who wants to see me there," she replied.

"Hey Anne! Were gunna be seein' ya tonight at da fight anyway so why don't ya jist let Tom Tom stay here wid us. We'll take good care of him," Skinner said to her.

Anne gave him a big hug and a kiss on the cheek, "Thank you so much. You are such a lifesaver!"

"Anything for a goil dat can steal Spot's heart as fast as you can," he chuckled.

"What?" she asked, eyebrows raised.

"Come on Anne. Dis guy was actin' very urgent and he wouldn't leave da lodgin' house until he spoke ta ya." Cowboy tugged on her arm impatiently.

"What New Yawker could I know dat has somethin' ta tell me dat's so important?" she groaned, following Jack reluctantly.
