Race, (Anthony or Tony) Jack, (Francis or Frankie) and Spot (Benjamin or
Ben) moved out of the house to become Newsies. They all decided to keep
their mother's murder a secret. They simple said she was sick and she died
in her sleep.
After a few months, their father wasn't so cruel to Sweets anymore. Sweets on the other hand knew that this nicer treatment wasn't going to last. Her temper had left her many years back. After her father started to beat her, her temper left her. She could no longer be upset. She was like a machine.
Her father was out getting drunk. She knew it was her only chance for escape. She took what little money she had and her small amount of clothes and ran as fast as she could to the train station.
"Hello little girl, what can I do for you this evening?" the man at the ticket booth asked Sarah.
"May I please have one train ticket to Chicago?" Sarah asked in the most polite manner ever.
"Here you go one ticket one-way to Chicago" The ticket man handed her the ticket and she ran like a bat out of hell to the train (gotta love stealing lines from songs/movies)
