The Eye of the Storm by pixiedust
Chapter 4
The next morning Trouble woke up excited. Her friend would be there the next morning and she still had to tell the rest of the boys and prepare them for her. They would need a LOT of preparing for the girl that was coming. She had a temper almost as bad as Trouble's, had a smart mouth, and was very independent. Trouble knew that the boys would like her once they got to know her, though and she knew that she would also like them.
Trouble headed out to sell her papes and was happy to find that the headlines were not all that bad. She sold with Blink and the two of them spent the day talking about old times and Trouble told him all about her friend that was coming.
They finished selling pretty fast and were just hanging out in Central Park when they decided to head back to the Lodging House. They were almost there when suddenly they were pulled into an alley. They turned to see their biggest fear-their fathers! The two men advanced on the Blink and Trouble.
"Youse thought dat youse would get away wid runnin' off like dat, didn't youse?" Trouble father said as he slapped her in the face.
"Youse thought dat youse could make fools o' us but youse were wrong," Blink's father said and he slammed Blink against the wall. As Blink slid down the wall, his father continued punching and kicking him. Meanwhile, Trouble was not faring any better. She was soon unconscious and noticing this her father went over to Kid Blink and his father. Blink who had lost all his strength and had collapsed making it look like he also was unconscious. The two men, having completed their mission, quickly left the alley to avoid any further suspicion, leaving the two broken and beaten newsies lying on the ground.
