"Leave her alone," yelled Dark "She can take care of herself!"

Jack looked at his leader than watched as Trinket struggled to stand back up.

"Come On Trinks!" yelled Blink "Hit him."

Trinket wiped the blood from her mouth and smiled.

"That's my goil," whispered Dark.

Rae and Stress watched in shock as Juliet pounded the much bigger newsy into the ground. It was the first time she had convinced them to come with her to Irving Hall.

"Are'nt ya gonna do sump tin?" whispered Rae.

Spot looked at her.

"I tink she's got it," he replied.

Jack laughed to himself as he sat on the cold marble steps.

"What's so funny?" asked Skittery.

"Just rememberin da fight Trinket got into wit a Brooklyn newsy. Ya rememba dat Conlon?" Jack replied.

"Shoah," said Spot wrapping his arms around Rae's shoulders "Spider, I tink was his name. Jay destroyed him."

Rae looked up at City Hall and shivered slightly. She wished Jay would come bouncing down the street.

"What am I going to do?" asked Henry Clinton who was the mayor of the city.

Andrew Macgeaver looked out the window then back at his boss.

"Come on," whispered Juliet as she struggled to lift the window.

She looked towards the door, then back at the window. She pulled the long sleeve shirt she wore over her tank top and wrapped it around her hand and slammed her fist through the window.

"Yes," she whispered when the window broke under her fist.

She heard Oscar and Morris run down the hallway as she slipped out the window.

"Later boys!" she yelled blowing them a kiss as they stood dumbfounded at the window.

"She'll be okay," said Holiday "Right?"

Martini looked at her and smiled.

"Ya know Jay, Hol, She always is." she replied.

Jack paced the grounds in front of City Hall. He smiled to himself as he looked up at the mayor's office where he could see the mayor's aide standing there.

"What ya looking at?" asked Racetrack.

"Dat," replied Jack pointing.

"Oh, Howdy Boys!" yelled Ractrack waving to the men who watched them.

Jack laughed and slapped Racetrack on the back.

"Stress?" asked Rae as she shielded the sun from her eyes "Dat goil look familiar to ya?"

Stress lifted a hand to her eyes and looked at where Rae pointed.

"Holy Shit!" she yelled "It's Jay!"

Stress and Rae ran down the steps and into the crowd.

"Jay!" yelled Aki hugging her.

"We was so worried!" Writer exclaimed.

"Thought ya had gotten yaself inta some trouble," Raider said winking at her.

"Me? Trouble?" asked Juliet "Never."

"Jay!" yelled Rae hugging her.

"Hey goils," said Juliet hugging her best friends tightly.

Jack ran up to the smiling, happ girls.

"Hey Cowboy," said Juliet smiling "You looked surprised to see me."

"Not surprised," he exclaimed hugging her "Happy."

"Oaff!" she said "get off a me!"

"Sorry," he replied.

"Well…." said Stress "What do we do now?"

"I tink…" started Juliet.

"Well?" asked Rae "You'se still da leada."
