"Hey Sunshine" yelled Crutchy.
Emma smiled and kissed his cheek.
"Hey Crutch, hows the headline?" she asked.
"Dey been betta" he replied.
Emma smiled and continued to the Distribution Office. She groaned
inwardly when she saw Kid Blink standing with the others. Kid Blink
was third in line in the chain of command and Jack was constantly
throwing Emma at him.
"Hey Sunshine" he said Wrapping his arm around her waist.
"Hey Blink" she said pushing his arm away "Track, Mush"
"Hiya Sunshine" said Racetrack "Wheres ya brudda?"
"He's on 'is way"
"Come on Sun" said El Dorado "Lets go git our papes"
Emma looked at her best friend greatfully.
"I don't undastand you" said El Dorado "Blink's cute and he likes ya"
Emma sighed.
"Yeah, he's cute, but he's also pushy, arrogant and mean" said Emma.
"Sunshine, dey can't all be poifect" said Spin coming up behind them.
"Shush! jus cause ya got one of da betta ones" said Emma laughing.
Jake Andrews came up and wrapped his arms around her shoulders.
"Someone talkin about me?" he asked.
"Jus about how poifect ya are" laughed Emma.
"Ah Sunshine, i didn't know ya cared" said Jake.
Emma and El Dorado said goodbye and headed off to sell.
"Hey El?"
"Yeah?"
"Ya eva been ta Brooklyn?"
Emma had just been reunited with her older brother and was unaware of
the reasons behind the bad blood between the bouroughs.
"Twice" said El Dorado.
"What happened?"
"I'd really not like ta talk about it" said El Dorado.
Emma looked at her friend and shrugged.
LATER THAT DAY...
"Sunshine?" asked Mush "Where ya headed?"
"Back to da LH" she said "I got a bit of a headache"
"All right" said Mush "I'll tell ya brudda"
"Tanks Mush"
Emma watched him untill he returned to Tibby's. Come On, Sunshine
Sullivan, she thought to herself, Its time for you to solve this
mystery yourself. She turned and headed towards the Brooklyn bridge.
"Smirks!" yelled SPot.
Smirks sighed and pulled her long red hair away from her face.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Have dere been anymore manhattan boys over here?"
"Not since Crutchy" she said.
"No one touched him?"
If there was one Manhattan newsy the boys staid away from it was
Crutchy.
"Nah"
Spot smiled and looked over at the bridge. The bridge that had
seperated Brooklyn and Manhattan since the incident.
"Spot!" yelled Malice as he ran down to the docks "Someones coming!"
Emma looked around Brooklyn in amzement. It was like a whole nother
world. She soon felt a rough hand around the top of her arm.
"Come on ya Manhattan Scum" said The Voice "Da boss wants ta see ya"
Emma felt herself being dragged towards the docks.
"Well, who is it?" asked Spot.
"Who are ya kid?" asked Smirks.
If dey git ya, don't tell them nothin, she remembered Racetrack
telling the other boys. She bit her lip and stood her ground.
"I Said, who are ya?" yelled SMirks kicking her knees so she fell to
the ground.
Emma felt her hat fall off her head. Spot looked at her in amazement.
It was a girl, and not just an ordinary girl. This girl was an angel.
Long red-gold curls that fell to her shoulders unrestrained by her
hat, her eyes were blue with flecks of gold and her face was delicate
but with traces of the hardness one must attain to survive on the
street.
"Sunshine," she whispered "Sunshine Sullivan"
Sullivan? thought Spot, why does that name sound familiar? holy shit!
Sullivan, Francis Sullivan otherwise known as Jack Kelly. So was this
his sister?
Emma smiled and kissed his cheek.
"Hey Crutch, hows the headline?" she asked.
"Dey been betta" he replied.
Emma smiled and continued to the Distribution Office. She groaned
