"Welcome to Chicago" Apollo said cheerfully "lets go to the lodging house
so you'se rest and then we can meet me brudda and da rest of da newsies at
lunch."
Sweets followed Apollo in silence to the lodging house, not knowing what to expect. She was nervous.
What if they didn't like her? Apollo seemed to like her, but who knows. I wish Frankie was here. He'd know what to do. God I miss all three of them so much.
Sweets looked depressed, she wanted to be home. She wanted to be with her brothers. She missed them terribly. They walked into the lodging house and to her surprise there were a lot of boys there. She thought that they would all be selling at this time.
"Heya dollface, I'se Zeus." Sweets turned around to see a 16 year old boy, don't get me wrong, he was hot but definitely too old for her.
Sweets clenched her teeth and her fists and walked over to Zeus. "Never Ever Call me Dollface eva again or you'se be askin' for it." He looked at her in shock. Sweets took that moment to punch him in the face. "Men." All the boys stared at her.
Apollo dragged her away and took her to her bunk. "You'se can take da bottom, I'se already on da top." Sweets nodded and put her things down, and followed Apollo into a separate room. There she looked around when she got inside and she saw a bed a dresser and a lamp and a big chair almost like a throne. God, Spot would love this she thought.
"Apollo long time no see, lil brudda."
"Heya Mercury, good ta see ya dis is Sweets, she's from New York City, Can we keep her?"
Mercury laughed, "Sure Apollo, as long as she stays outta trouble. We got some gangs tryin ta take ova our territory. So nobody's sellin' no whea till I'se gots tings unda control"
"Oops," Said Sweets.
"Whad'ja mean Oops?"
"Well, um ya see Mercury, I kinda gave one of ya boys hea a bloody nose for callin me dollface." She turned bright red.
Mercury laughed even more at her last comment, "Whod'ja give a bloody nose Sweets?"
"Zeus, I tink dats wat his name was."
Mercury looked shocked, not many people could punch Zeus, Period. But punch and get away with it, that's even more surprising.
Mercury sat back and considered this while Sweets stood there looking him right in the eye. She wasn't afraid of anyone, except her father, and maybe her brothers when they were mad at her.
