Chapter Twenty-Seven
*Hawk The Thespian*
Jade sighed discontentedly and rested her chin on her hand. She was leaning on the railing of the Brooklyn Bridge, waiting for Jack, Blink, and Angel to hurry up.
The whole affair with Jack and the Bronx had been taken care of, and Spot finally got to fulfill his wish to beat the shit out of Creeper.
Joker had explained to Jade that she been left out of the whole deal, and that she had not known about it. So, the two girls visited each other often, though Joker avoided being around Spot at all costs.
Jack had made it in time to tell his mother goodbye and he had returned after her funeral and apologized for the whole mistake on his part. Everyone forgave him and life returned to normal.
Well, as normal as it had ever been. Angel had insisted on Jade coming back to Manhattan and Jade, after hearing no protests on Spot's part, had agreed half-heartedly.
It had been the best time of her life, staying in Brooklyn for those two weeks that Jack was gone. She had started selling papers again, and everyday she sold with Spot.
Tops, the one Brooklyn newsie who was still a little kid, had become attached to Jade, and she was like an older sister to him. She even told him a story once when he couldn't sleep, but she would rather die than admit it if anyone were to ask.
Jade still slept in Spot's room, but they moved another bed in so the Brooklyn newsies wouldn't get the wrong idea, which isn't to say that they still didn't.
Spot and her had become very close, and while everyone else was quite aware of the two's growing attraction neither Spot nor Jade seemed to notice.
So, while the rest of the gang trooped behind her, Jade stood on the bridge, wishing she was back in Brooklyn, where she felt at home.
She would have stayed, if only she had thought that Spot wanted her to. But the king of Brooklyn had given away no signs as to his opinion on the situation, and so Jade had given up, not realizing that Spot had been looking for a sign from her.
Jade blinked back tears.
'Great,' she though, 'Now Ise get ta go back ta Manhattan where Ise don't like anybody. Wonderful, tanks a lot, Spot.'
Angel walked up and put a hand on Jade's shoulder, mistaking Jade's unhappiness for something having to do with her rape, which Jade had told Angel about a few days earlier.
Jade shrugged her hand off and Angel looked at her sadly, again misinterpreting what was wrong.
Jack knew, and if Blink didn't know he sure looked like he did, but, as in childhood, Angel remained blissfully ignorant of her sister's inner turmoil.
Suddenly, just as the group was walking off the bridge a figure could be seen running towards them, yelling, "Wait a sec!"
'It's Spot!' Jade thought, and her heart lifted like an air-balloon, but then it dropped like stone as she realized that it was only Hawk.
"Yeah Hawk?" Jade asked glumly.
"Sometin's wrong, youse gotta come back, Jade," Hawk said between gasps for air.
"What's da mattah?" Jade asked, her blood running cold, 'Is someone hoit?' She thought with panic.
"Tops," Hawk said, "It's real bad, J, youse gotta go now, he keeps askin' foah you."
"Shit," Jade whispered, and she took off in a run back towards Brooklyn.
Her cut had now healed, so it didn't inhibit her movement at all anymore.
Angel started going after her but Hawk held her back, "Youse really don't wanna see dat, Angel, youse jist go back with Jack an' Blink ta Manhattan an' someone'll bring Jade back latah."
Angel started to protest but Blink nodded and led her away.
When they were out of sight Hawk asked Jack, "So, how'd Ise do?"
"Ise almost fell foah it myself," Jack said, clapping Hawk on the back.
"Good," Hawk said grinning, "Ise gotta go, I wanna see dis. See ya around, Cowboy!" Hawk said before running back the way he came.
Jack smiled and jogged to catch up with Blink and Angel. They walked the rest of the way back to the Manhattan lodging house without interruption.
