IRVING HALL CRISIS CONTINUED
Jack's POV
"Jack! Please!" Azure pleaded
It's now or never. Go your way or the way that was chosen for you…hell, I'm going my way… for once I'm doing what I want to do.
"How do you know it's not surrounded by the bulls" I asked as I followed her
"Trust me, there's no way they could surround this place" she led me to the stage and under the curtains
"Right this way, keep down" she said
"Where are we going" we were at the middle of the stage…then suddenly she pushed a lever opening a trapdoor. It was the same device used by magicians to make their beautiful assistants disappear. I couldn't believe it!
"Ta da" she said jokingly. I stood there in shock. She's amazing! "Aren't you going in?"
"Ladies first" I joked back, she laughed.
"Well if you insist" She said as she jumped in I went in after and closed the trap door.
Loud Mouth's POV
Where's Spot! Where's Spot! Oh god, I have to find Spot! I was pacing around the theater. What am I going to do! I saw Skittery. I grabbed him
"Skittery! Oh, Skittery have you seen Spot! It's important!"
"I'm sorry, I haven't seen him anywhere!"
"Are ya sure! Oh fuey!" You know what I meant to say!
Suddenly I saw him! Thank God! I ran as fast as I could pushing everybody out of my way.
"Spot!" I yelled.
Then suddenly I felt someone grab me. I looked up to see it was a bull.
"This is no place for a little girl, like you miss to be" He said as he pulled me away
"No, let me go! Spot!!" I socked the cop in the stomach and broke free from his grip and started to run
"Spot!!"
"Loud Mouth!" He yelled back as he tried to get to me, and couldn't because he was stuck in a big crowd.
Then I sensed someone behind me, I suddenly turned around to see Dot. She smiled just before she punched me. I fell back and everything went black. (Yeah, yeah, I know, it rhymes! I didn't do it on purpose!)
Azure's POV
We could hear the noise above us while we sat there waiting for it all to end. It was dark under the stage, so dark that I couldn't see a thing. I don't know how close we are together. My arms are killing me! I stretched them out.
"Ouch!'"
"Oh my god, did I hit you!"
"Don't worry I'm fine, you just got my nose"
This is so awkward, and it's also a dream come true being alone in the dark with Jack! But what do I say to him? Especially after we shared a kiss.
"So…um…" Crap! What do I say? How about Santa Fe, hell, we shared a song about it "Why do you plan on doing after the strike? Or after you a newsie?"
"I don't know…I kind off feel like I'd be doing this forever…but when it does eventually end then I'll guess I'll go to Santa Fe. What about you?"
"I might go back to Santa Fe too and maybe try again"
"Maybe we'll go together" he suggested.
Let it be, if we're nothing more than dreamers, who believe that we see the walls between us.
"Maybe…and maybe we'll buy some land, you know, enough to start our own ranch. Then we'll buy horses, cattle and…" Jack then kissed me.
"Maybe" He said before he kissed me again. I put my arms around his neck and kissed him back.
I loved you from a distance, I thought I couldn't reach before… I can't believe how close that we are. This is too good to be true! This has to be a dream!
Suddenly I realized that it was quiet, Jack noticed too. Then we heard talking from Snyder and the Bulls.
"I don't where he could be"
"He has nowhere to go, he shouldn't be hard to find"
"I don't get it, he was here"
"Well he isn't anymore. We probably should leave. We don't want to give him a head start"
"You're right, we should check the lodging house"
We heard footsteps and a slam of doors. Jack open the door a creak.
"What are you doing" I whispered
"Seeing if the coast is clear" He closed it "They're gone"
He gets out and gives me his hand to help me up. The whole place was deserted.
"We have to get out of here" he said
"And go where?" I knew what he was going to say
"We have to go to Dave's, he'll know what to do"
We went out he back door and started walking. We were silent the whole way. when we reached his apartment we climbed up the fire escape the their window. David was sitting at the table.
"David" Jack called quietly
"Jack, Azure! Where were you two?" He whispered loudly
"Azure helped me escape" David then looked at me.
"Come in" he said waving his hand "Jack you can sleep on the floor and Azure you can take my bed" He took one of the pillows of his bed and gave it to Jack. Jack set the pillow down next to David's bed and laid down while I got into the bed. (No David is NOT in the bed with her, he's with Les or whatever)
Later in the middle of the night…
I woke up, I looked over to the floor…Jack was gone. I got up and went out to the balcony. I saw Jack heading down the fire escape.
"Jack…Jack"
He turns, I could see the troubled look in his eyes.
"Are you sneaking out?" I asked
"I'm not. I jus don't want ta sleep no more. Okay? Is that alright with you?"
"What is it, Jack?"
"Nothin'" he looks away "eveythin'. It's jus not right anymore. Nothin' is…I have to go" he kisses me "Don't try to save me this time" then continues down and drops down to the alley. I watch him leave into the darkness. Suddenly I felt a familiar feeling occur…
Azure: Being such a foolish girl
All the secrets that I keep…
Can I bring myself to tell him about me?
(At that same time, Jack is walking alone in the street and then sings counterpoint to he)
Jack: Santa Fe
My old friend
I can't spend my whole life hidin'
You're the only light that's guidin' today
Azure: What would happen…
To tell this boy
How deeply I feel for him
Would he actually believe me if I tried?
Jack/Azure: I will/will you keep a candle burnin'
I will/will help him/me find his/my way?
Jack: You're my chance to break free
Azure: And who knows when his next one will be
Jack: Azure
Azure: Jack
Jack/Azure: … Wait for me
The next day…
Loud Mouth's POV
I opened my eyes. Where am I? I was in some sort of jail. I sat up to see Race, Blink, Mush and the rest of them.
"That's a nice shiner you got there Loud Mouth" Race joked.
Only one thing was on my mind…
"Where's Spot?" I asked
"That's what we'd like to know"
To be continued…
Up next: Holy snikies! Where's Spot! Could Dot of...?! Oh no!
AN: You guys must REALLY, REALLY HATE me now! Another suspenseful chapter! Don't worry I'll be updating soon!
