Chapter 2: Trip to Manhattan
The next day Rory and Austin decided to venture outside of the Bronx. They decided to head to Manhattan because they were sure that that was the place with the richest people walking around the streets and that they would make a bundle.
They got up earlier than they normally did so that they could get ready and then set off for Manhattan. While they were walking there they noticed many newsies out selling their papes, or 'hawlkin the headlines' as they called it. Rory's began wondering what it would be like to live the life of a newsie. Mitchell had always told her stories of the many adventures newsies had that he had heard from his friends.
When they finally got to Manhattan they began their 'work'. They would pick out people who looked like the easiest targets and go for them. They were doing fine until around 12:00.
They decided to hit a man dressed in a full suit, he looked like the perfect target. Just as Rory grabbed the wallet out of his pocket he turned around and saw her. With the wallet still in her hands she ran as fast as her feet could take her, she was running so fast that Austin didn't even notice her until she was very far away from him. He too began to run to catch up to her to make sure she wasn't thrown in the Refuge, again.
Rory was sprinting down the street not looking where she was going, she could hear the whistles of the bulls in the background, all she was thinking about was how much she did not want to go back to the refuge, she had been there one to many times! She was grasped back to reality when she felt herself collide with something hard and hit the ground. She looked up and saw a boy standing there he was probably 17 he had piercing blue eye and blonde hair, with a sling shot and gold tipped cane hanging from his belt. Boy he didn't look too happy!
"Watch were your going goil!" he shouted. 'Gosh he looks so familiar' Rory thought.
"Sorry, I was a little preoccupied at the moment" she stated with a hint of sarcasm. "And anyway, what makes you think you're so great that you can tell me what to do?" She could tell that at this point the boy was getting pissed and she was too.
"Well, I just happen to be the leader of the Brooklyn newsies, I'se Spot Conlon." He said. Rory looked like she had just seen a ghost.
"Did you say that your last name is Conlon?" she asked.
"Yea, do you have a hearing problem or something?" He asked getting a little annoyed.
"What's your first name?" She asked.
"That ain't none of your business girl!" he shouted.
"Its Mitchell isn't it? ISN'T IT!" she was yelling at this point. Spots face when blank, his face showed no emotion. He knew he recognized this girl.
"Rrrr.ory?" He asked very slowly.
"Yea, its me! I can't believe-" Their little reunion was cut short by a bull come up from behind and grabbing Rory. He dragged her off before Spot could do anything about it. Just at that moment Austin ran up to Spot.
"Hey did you happened to see a girl with bright red hair? Ya couldn't have missed her she was running as if she had a fire in her pants" he said laughing inside.
"Yea she was just here. The bulls got her. She's my sister!" Spot told Austin.
"So your Mitchell? Huh?" Austin said in return.
"Hey how did you know that?" Spot asked.
"Well you sister had been my best friend for many years now, she lives with my and my boys and is a member of our gang." Austin explained.
"Oh.a gang, eh?" Spot wasn't surprised he always knew his sister was tough. But his mind kept racing back to that fact that at this moment she was being dragged into the refuge.
"But if you're the leader of the Brooklyn newsies why are you in Manhattan?" Austin asked.
"I'm visiting some friends" He said in return. "Alright we need to get Rory out of the Refuge tonight, I'm not losing her again!" He with a fiery look in his eyes.
"Uh. Spot, I think Rory will be fine, this is her 5th time in the joint" Austin informed him.
"5 TIMES! 5 TIMES SHE HAS BEEN IN THE REFUGE? For what?" he asked taking a break from his yelling.
"Mostly for pickpocketing, once for gambling" Austin told Spot.
"What your name?" Spot asked.
"Austin."
"Alright, Austin, come with me, I'm going to visit some friends, and while were there we'll come up with a plan to get Rory out of the Refuge, I have some friends there that could help" Spot said. Austin agreed, but he secretly knew that Rory would be able to get herself out. But he followed Spot any ways.

Rory kicked and screamed the whole way to the refuge. When she got there they threw her in to a cell. These cells were used for the new comers, they were usually only left in there for a couple hours. But while she was in the cell Rory was coming up with a plan in her head of how to get herself out. She couldn't stay in there when she had just found her brother, Mitchell, she had finally found him! Rorys thoughts drifted back to her plan, she knew what she was going to do, she had done this many times before.
