Juliet smiled at the girls.
"I'm goin fer a walk," she said.
"Want us to come?" asked Writer.
"No, you goils go on ta Medda's," said Juliet "Tell everyone I'll be dere."
Aki touched her arm gently.
"You okay, Jay?" she asked.
"Yeah," Juliet replied smiling "I'm fine."
Juliet waved goodbye and set off. She wandered aimlessly throught downtown Manhattan and soon found herself in the graveyard where Tremor was buried. She leaned down and wiped the fallen leaves from his grave.
"Well.Tremor," she whispered "Tings just aint da same wit out ya here. Jack and me are talking again, sorta..I miss you an Dark horribly."
Dark Jenkins had been like a big brother to the Morgan twins, protecting them and teaching them how to be newsies. No one was allowed to hurt them as long as Dark was around. She sat down on the cold ground and looked up at the sky.
"Do you remember all da stories momma used to tell us about da stars?" she said smiling sadly.
She never heard the heavy crunch of boots on the newly fallen leaves. She didn't see the heavy branch as it swung and hit her on the back of her head.
"Well, we got 'er," said Oscar "Lets git her to da boss. He'll know what to do wit her."
"I know what I'd like to do wit her," muttered Morris as he slung her over his shoulder.
"Where's Jay?" asked Stress.
"Wasn't she wit ya?" asked Rae.
"She said she was goin fer a walk," exclaimed Aki.
"Guys," said Mist "Maybe we should go look fer her?"
"Yeah," said Stress.
"What's goin on?" asked Spot.
"Jay's missin," Rae replied "We're goin to look fer her."
"Just a second," said Spot "Let me git mah coat, I'll come too."
"Me too," said Race.
"I'm in," said Mush.
Martini looked at Holiday who nodded.
"We'se comin too," said Holiday.
They walked through the streets calling to Juliet.
"What's goin on?" asked Jack when he saw them on his way To Meddas.
"Jay's missin," said Rae "Ya seen 'er?"
"Not since dis morning," said Jack.
Jack felt his heart sink to the bottom of his stomach. Trinket, where are you? He wondered.
