"Running From the Flames"
*Author's Note: First of all, I want to thank all you great Newsies reviewers who have reviewed my stories. There are so many of you and combine them with my bad memory......well lets just say thanx to all of you, even if I can't remember your names!!! But I do remember a few: Kora, Iris, Dream Socks, Bam. Thats all I can remember right now, but remember, if I didn't say your name, don't feel like you're left out. Trust me, you guys are well remembered, somewhere in the deep abyss of this brain of mine!! (My brain's gotta mind of it's own ya know!!) ;-) Thanx again and here's the fourth installment of the Bright Eyes series.*
************************************************************************
Twenty years have passed since the Newsboys strike of 1899. Times have changed. Buildings continue to grow higher and higher, wages are increased, jobs are different than they were before. Not just the material things in New York have changed though. The people who inhabit it have changed as well. Since the last time the small Newsie band had been together, their families had increased. Since then, Bright Eyes has once again become a mother, this time to a daughter, now nine years old. Spot Conlon's brood has increased from only the twins to six more young children. Even Jack Kelly took on a bride and is the father to four children. The children of the Newsies and their friends have had many great adventures, including that of following the trail of Oscar Delancy. But little do the Newsies and their children know, that the adventures are merely beginning.
