Juliet slowly opened her eyes, pain split her head apart.
"'ello pretty," said Oscar leering at her.
Juliet closed her eyes again. I must have died, she thought cause this looks a lot like hell.
"So this is da goil dats been causin me so much trouble?" asked a raspy voice.
"Don't worry Kelly," said Skittery "If I rememba correctly, Jay always has landed on her feet."
"Yeah," said Fearless "Jay's tough."
"Non tougher," said Dutchy.
"Tanks guys," said Jack smiling "I would just feel betta if I knew she was all right."
"We all would," whispered Holiday.
Martini nodded her agreement.
"Jack!" yelled Mist as she ran into the Lodging House "Stress and Rae want ta talk to ya. Sometings wrong,"
Jack felt his stomach sink to the pit of stomach. What now? He wondered.
"Well, well. Mista Oliva, When did ya start kidnappin young goils?" asked Juliet.
"I've got a proposal for you Miss." he said.
"Trinket," said Juliet "Mah pals call me Trinket."
"Stop dis silly strike, and I'll give you your job back with a hefty pay raise." Said Mr. Oliver.
"What about mah goils?" She asked.
"They go back to work," said Mr. Oliver "Just as it was."
"No," she replied "Tings git betta for all of us or none of us."
"Can dey do dat?" asked Jack.
Alina Jacobsen, who had been running the Factory Lodging House for years sighed heavily.
"Fraid so," she replied "Da goils aint working for da factory anymore, no need ta keep open da house."
Rae swore under her breath.
"What are we goin ta do?" asked Aki "Jay is missin and we got no where ta stay."
Writer wrapped an arm around Aki's shoulder.
"Don't worry Aki," she whispered "We'll tink a sumptin, we always do."
Stress looked at Blue and nodded.
"Well, I kinda had an idea," said Blue "We got lotsa room at our lodgin house, Miss. Stewart said dat some of you goils could stay dere."
"We got room in Brooklyn." Said Spot.
"Same in Manhattan," said Jack.
"Well, one problem solved," said Rae "What do we do tommorow?"
"We march on City Hall," said Stress.
Rae looked at Stress.

"All by ourselves?" asked Rae.
"No," said Stress "We send in for reinforcements."

Jack gestured to Spot and the boys headed out. Stress looked at Rae.
