War of the Jews
Disclaimer: I just want to say That I don't own Newsies *sniff, sniff* but I do own the Harlem gang leader, Burner McKeys and his gang members Scar, Handle, Heel, and Socks. I also own a few random people in the story but I don't own Dave, Sholom, and Jacob Gutgeld. These were actual people I am only using their names because the actual people didn't exist until the 40's. Now on with the story!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
David came running into the Lodging house faster than anyone had ever seen him run. Kloppman watched as the blur of color ran by and up the stairs, taking them two at a time. Some papers flew off of the counter and Kloppman bent down to pick them up all the while muttering about 'youngin's dese days'. David ran into the bunkroom and quickly scanned it, his eyes falling on the closet in the corner. He ran into it and shut the door, everyone staring at him, a moment later he opened it, "I'm not here, k?" he said and one again shut the door.
"Pay up, Race", Blink said. Race, muttering to himself, took out two bits and handed them to Blink, who was smiling even wider than usual.
"What's goin on here?" Jack asked.
"We ad a bet." Blink said, "On when we would rub off on David an he went bad. I guessed a month, Race two. Looks like I won." Race was muttering to himself and starting up a game of solitaire. They heard calls of "Stop" and "You can't go up dere" From Kloppman downstairs before the thundering feet of boys climbing up the stairs. Jack stood, wondering whom it could. It was soon answered when the leader of one of the most dangerous gangs in Harlem, Burner McKeys came through the door, followed by fourof his flunkies, Scar (he had on running across his face), Heel (He knocked people out by kicking them in the face with it), Handle (He had tried opening every door on the street to find a place to sleep and the one that was unlocked was the gangs abandoned warehouse), and Socks (He never wore them).
"Whadda ya want Boinah?" Jack asked him coldly while the room rendered silent.
"Where'd dat kid go?" he asked looking around the room.
"Oh, Coily brown hair, blue eyes?" Jack asked and Burner nodded."Ya jist missed 'im. He ran in here and jumped out on ta da fire escape and disappeared down da street."
Burner let out such a long chain of swear words that the older newsies covered the ears of those younger than them. Burner was pacing while stringing out the words until Jack stopped him. "Hey! Ya know wese got liddle kids ere alwright?!"
Burner came up from his ranting and raving and turned to Jack once more. "Well, We'll be seein' ya. Oh, and uh.. If ya sees dat kid…Let im know dat he is as good as dead!" He exited the room followed by his four faithful thugs.
What is David running from? Who knows! Well, okay, I do but if you don't review then I won't put up the next chapter for a long time. Maybe never! Bwahahahahaha!
