*laughs* I can't wait to torture you hehe
AND HERE WE GO!
The train rattled violently on the tracks, the city skyline disappearing slowly turning into prairie lands and then into dusty desert. Jack stood and slid the door of the car open a crack and watched the tumbleweeds blow by.
"Welcome to Santa Fe, New Mexico kid." Jesse said stepping over to Jack clamping a hand on his shoulder. Jack smiled as he watched the old western town come into view.
"Should we wake up sleepy ovah dere...or leav 'im on da train?" Jack asked.
"Leave him." Jack and Jesse laughed.
"COLIN GET UP! SANTA FE! WAKE UP!" Jesse called to Colin's sleeping form. Colin grumbled in his sleep and turned over. Jack shook his head and picked up an empty beer bottle from the floor. He threw it at the wall above Colin's head and it smashed. Colin jumped up quickly and yelled.
"Ya sound like a little goil! Get up we'se heah." Jack said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raven ran into the lodging house smiling broadly, suddenly her face fell when she realized Jack wouldn't be waiting for her with open arms and a kiss. All the boys turned to her with looks of sadness on their faces. She stared at them at a loss for words.
"Ravy..." Race began to speak to her but she shook her head and tore up the stairs into the bunkroom. She climbed up on Jack's bunk and curled into a ball. She let more tears fall freely from her eyes and her body continued to shake from the harsh sobs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jack, Colin, and Jesse hopped out of the dusty train car and walked slowly to the town. As they passed by strangers, Jack could here their whispers and see them staring. The almost silent conversations bringing word that the outlaw Jesse James was back in town. Jesse led them right past the sheriff's office and past all the buildings. They continued on until they reached a makeshift hideout far away from the activity of the town. Entering the hideout Jack saw the younger gang wanted posters lining the walls and all the newspaper clippings about their infamous bad ways. He noticed Jesse's wanted poster on the wall to the right and walked over to study it closely.
"Jack someday you'll have one of those to add to that wall..." Colin said lighting a cigarette and plopping down into one of the old rusty chairs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Weeks dragged on, slowly and painfully for Raven, everyone knew Jack had been gone at least a month now, but to her it felt like an eternity. She continued to lie on his bunk and cry. By now every one of the newsies had gotten used to the sound and had given up on trying to make her stop her tears.
"Raven....Ya gotta get up....ya gotta eat something...come on!" Oracle walked over to Raven. She just turned over on her other side and stared at the wall through the blurry haze of tears.
"Ya can't keep on like dis ya know...He ain't comin back! Get ovah it! He left ya....dat don't mean dat you gotta withah away intah nothin!" Oracle yelled at her. Raven opened her eyes wide and stared at her.
"DAT'S ENOUGH ORACLE! SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!" Blink yelled from across the room. Oracle strode over to him and punched him in the face before leaving the bunkroom. Swifty got up and glared at Blink before following her out the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jack stood in the telegraph office thinking of what to put down on the paper. Suddenly the words came to her and he hurriedly scribbled them down.
"KELLY LETS GO! HURRY UP!" Jesse yelled from his horse outside. Jack tossed the message to the clerk and strode out of the office. He jumped on his Jet-Black stallion and looked at Jesse.
"Happy, I finished!" Jack growled.
"Alright! LET'S RIDE!" Colin yelled and kicked his horse and galloped off. Jack and Jesse followed suit and the three of them rode into the night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A loud banging was heard on the door.
"GO AWAY I'SE BUSY!" He went back to kissing the girl on his bed. She flung her arms around him in mad passion as the embrace got more heated.
The pounding continued, and he flopped on his back aggravated with the boy behind the door.
"WHAT DAT HELL DO YA WANT!?" He boomed.
"OPEN DA DOOR! SPOT IT'S A MESSAGE FROM KELLY!" The girl on the bed sat up quickly.
"Why would Jack send you a message when he's right in Manhattan?"
"How da hell would I know Jackal!?" She flopped back on the bed with an angry sigh. Spot got up and flung the door open.
"Give it here!" The boy hurriedly handed over the message and ran into the bunkroom. Spot slammed the door behind him and sat on the edge of the bed. Jackal slid her legs around him and kissed his shoulder, hugging his body tightly to her. Spot jumped up with his eyes wide.
"WHAT!?" He yelped.
"Spot what in God's name is goin on!?"
"READ DIS!!! READ IT NOW!" He shoved the paper into her hands. She held in her left hand and covered her gaping mouth with her right.
"I can't believe it....."
"BELIEVE IT JACKAL!" Spot started pacing the floor of his room. He grabbed a cigarette off the nightstand and lit it, taking a long, hard drag.
