Chapter 1
"Heya Jack! What a strike, huh Jack? What a strike! Hey guess what! My brother's coming to join us newsies. Ya' hear that Jack?! My bro, from Spot's territory, when he heard about the strike, he finally decided to join us! He quit his job to be with me Jack he quit his job, to be wit' me!"
Crutchie, although usually in a good mood anyway, was extremely excited that day. His brother, ever since Crutchie hurt his leg, took care of Crutchie and worked hard hours to support his little bro. Although, not very much old than Crutchie, he still felt he needed to take responsibility. This loving brother was aptly named Billy, which means "determined guardian." And determined he was!
"Dat's great Crutchie! You mean da short one right?" Jack teased.
"Jack! Spot's here! He brought Billy wit' him!" Shouted Kid Blink, as he raced towards Jack, with Racetrack by his side.
"And Jack, Billy finally grew. well, at least a bit." This remark, made by Race, caused a collective chuckle of the newsies. At this point Spot, otherwise known as Brooklyn, stepped up, and next to his was this shady character, just about 5 foot 5. --~-~~--~-~~--~-~~--~-~~--~-~~--~-~~--~-~~--~-~~--~-~~--~-~~--~-~~--~-~~
