I looked at Blink for a second just to make sure I knew what I was hearing.
"You mean, you sent her here?" I said.
"No no no no no no, nothing like that, I just told her you's was here, because she was looking for Skittery." Blink said a little nervous.
"Did she tell you why she was looking for me?" Skittery asked.
"She just said she wanted to talk to you, and I told her about Charity, and I told her ta be nice, because you two are happy tagedder, aren't ya?" Blink finished.
"Of course we are, but obviously she wouldn't come back for anything else." Skittery said.
"I've seen that way the bulls follow her orders. If she said you'll be in the refuge, you'll be in there by sun down." Blink said.
"What can I do to escape them?" I asked.
"Nothing, except maybe hid out in da Brooklyn lodging house. I'll talk to Jack, and have him talk to Spot." Blink said.
"I'll go with you, those Brooklyn newsies can be tough, ya know." Skittery said.
"Thank you so much. I hope Spot lets us go." I said looking up at Skittery.
"If he knows what's good for him he will." Jack said walking into the room. He had been listening the whole time, and decided that this was a good time to intervene.
"You'll help me Jack?" I said cheering up.
"Of course, I mean I wouldn't want this happening ta Sarah, so I don't want it happenin' to you either." Jack finished.
"Well, the sooner we leave the better." Skittery said. "This goil doesn't waste any time." He finished.
"Let's go now. Get ya stuff." Jack said.
"Alright." I packed a few things, including the sleeping bag and cash… I figured we might be able to bribe Spot if he said no. We left 5 minutes later. When we got to the Brooklyn Bridge, it seemed that we had been walking forever.
"Ya ever been ta Brooklyn before?" Jack asked.
"No. Almost once, but no." I said.
"Well, the newsies here are tough; they aren't scared to stand up to the bulls. Not that we are, but they'll fight the bulls back." Jack said confusing himself.
"I trust that you wouldn't put me in a place where I'd be in danger." I said.
"Of course. Plus, Skittery wouldn't let me. Would ya Skittery?" Jack said.
"Of course not, are ya crazy?" Skittery said.
"Do you really want me to answer that?" I said. Skittery just gave me a 'no' look. We started to see a bunch of kids jumping off a dock, into the lake, or river, or pond, whatever it was. One of the boys got out and saw Jack walking over towards Spot.
"Goin somewhere Kelly?" (Ahh, just like in the movie.) The boy asked in a mean tone. Jack just walked right past him, and over to Spot.
"Heya Spot." Jack said.
"Hey Jackie boy. Waddua ya bring me today?" Spot said.
"Well ah, ya see you remember Skittery." Skittery half waved. "And dis here is Charity, and she needs a place ta sleep for a few nights, because the bulls are after her." Jack finished. Spot eyed me up and down, then he did a slight nod, but then his eyes got dark.
"Well, why did Skittery come?" Spot asked.
"Well, him and Charity are tagedder, and Skittery is pretty much the reason why she has ta run from da bulls." Jack said.
"Well, OK. But the goils house is full, so I don't know if we can accommodate her." Spot said.
"She'll be fine sleeping in da boy's house, that's what she does in Manhattan." Jack said.
"Well, alright, just don't make a mess of things ya hear?" Spot said pointing his cane at my face. I just nodded. (Spot was a lot more intimidating in person.)
"Skittery was going to stay also, is that alright too?" Jack asked.
"Well, we only have one free bunk, I would, but the answer has to be no. Sorry man." Spot said.
"It's alright." Skittery said. I turned to face him, and gave him a kiss goodbye. Then I followed Spot to the lodging house.
