"All right," said Juliet "Here's our problem, we need money."

        "Well, I can sell in Brooklyn wit Spot," said Rae.

        "Dat's a good idea," replied Juliet "How many of you goils who are datin Newsies tink dat ya can sell wit dem today?"

        She smiled in satisfaction as most of the girls nodded.

        "All right, da rest of ya are wit me," she exclaimed "Its time ta show dem we mean business. Aki? You goils still got da signs ya made?"

        "Yeah," replied Aki "Dere in da back,"

Later That Day….

        Stress stood in the back of the crowd watching the people around her. Stress was a natural observer, and Juliet trusted her to tell her if someone was going to cause problems.

        "How's it goin?" asked Juliet.

        "Not a problem boss," replied Stress grinning "Quite a lot of people here,"

        Juliet gave her a lopsided grin.

        "Not bad for a bunch of factory goils," she replied slapping her on the back.

        "Hey, ya new?" asked a voice.

        Trinket looked up from her machine to see two girls standing in front of her. One had a head of light brown curls and golden eyes, the other light red hair and green eyes.

        "Yeah," replied Trinket "What of it?"

        "I'm Rae Kelly," replied the red head "And dis here is mah best friend Stress Lynch,"

        Trinket spit in her hand and extended it. The two girls looked at each other and smiled.

        "Newsy," they said together.

        Juliet smiled at the memory.

        "Come on kid," she said "Let's go talk to Aki, she's got some news for me"

        "All right," replied Stress.

        Aki stood next to Bryan Denton, smiling like she had just won a prize.

        "Hello Mister Denton," said Juliet wiping her dirty hands on her skirt and shaking his hand "Can I help you?"

        "Hello Miss Morgan," replied Denton "Actually, I was hoping we could talk?"

        Juliet smiled at Aki.

        "Shoah," she replied.

        Stress looked at Aki.

        "How'd ya do dat?" asked Stress.

        "Mah brudda helped," replied Aki.

        Aki's older brother Specs was a newsy and had been since long before the strike.

        "Good job, Kid," said Stress ruffling her hair "Lets go back to da fence,"

        Aki and Stress headed back towards the fence where the striking girls were standing.

        "So Mister Denton," said Juliet "What would ya like ta talk to me about?"
