David in love
Chapter 2- Selling papes and the Delancy Bruddahs
"Extry! Extry! Read all about it!" I loved selling papes, now I could tell why Spot did it so often.
Gil walked up to me again, "Can I have some more papes, Mari?"
I smiled at him, he was only five, but could pass for a three year old, if he could only keep his mouth shut.
"'Ow many more d'we 'ave?" he asked.
David looked down at him with a grin on his face. "Not that many, go find Les, okay kid."
Gilly shone with pride as he ran off to find him.
David cast his eyes down at me again, "We can sell the rest on the way to Brooklyn, and we will probably pick Jack up on the way too."
I kept smiling like a schoolgirl and we continued to talk until we heard a scream.
"That was Gil!" I yelled as I dropped my papes and ran to help my baby brother. I don't know if David picked up my papes or if he just followed me, but the next thing I saw was two guys beating up on Gil.
I ran toward the one that had Gil in the air. "You put him down now!" I yelled. I lost my temper, so I could no longer control myself; after all I was a Conlon, right.
I punched the ugly guy and grabbed Gil. "Are you okay?"
He was shaking so hard, just as I was that night at Uncle Oliver's, but that wasn't important right now.
I looked up again to see David punching on of the guys, but then they both turned on him. No matter how perfect I found him, I couldn't help, but think that he was the worst fighter I'd ever seen.
I was about to leave Gil to help David when Les grabbed onto me pointing and saying something about Jack finding help, but I was in too much rage to stop. I looked to where he pointed and saw Jack run up and start punching one of 'em when another figure emerged from around the corner. It was a boy about my age and slightly shorter than I was with blue-green eyes, it was Jolly. Jolly shot one of the men with his Slingshot then they both ran off yelling out curses. I picked up Gil and ran over to David. He looked awful beaten up.
"Who were they?" I asked as Gil finally stopped crying on my shoulder.
"The Delancy Bruddahs," came Spot's reply.
