THE UNFORGETABLE NIGHT Chapter 7
Disclaimer: I don't own the newsies. But I do own any character not in the movie!
A/N - WOOHOO!! Final chapter!! Took me like two months, but I'm done!! hehe.. onto the last chapter!
Blink lay on the ground, not moving. His head hurt like shit. He knew better than to move or he would draw attention to himself. He could hear the conversation taking place between Spot and Brady. He lifted his head up slowly so he could see. He heard Brady let out a laugh and say, "What did you do?"
That comment sparked his mind to think of what he had done. Had he actually killed Riff? How could he have betrayed his friends like that? Why did he let Brady talk him into doing this?
Just then, Blink saw Brady take out his gun and aim it at Spot.
'Oh no. I'm not gonna let Brady do this to him' Blink thought to himself, his mind reeling with ways to stop Brady. He looked down for an instant and saw a glint of metal, his gun.
As quickly and quietly as he could, he picked up the gun and cocked and aimed it, just as Brady cocked his.
".It's my turn now" Brady said to Spot.
'I'm not gonna let you do this Brady' Blink thought to himself and he fired the gun. Brady fell to the ground with a scream.
Blink stared at the smoking gun in his hands and then looked at Brady, screaming on the floor at him in agony. He didn't know what had come over him, but he couldn't let Brady kill Spot like that. And the first thought that popped into his head was 'kill Brady' so he fired the gun.
.Bad idea.
As soon as Brady hit the ground, the Midtowners saw that Blink had shot their leader. Brady, although severely hurt, could still give orders to soak Blink. Milo stayed at Brady's side, while the rest of the gang went after Blink.
Blink didn't even try to fight back. One, because he knew he would never be able to win and two, because he just gave up. All he wanted to do was die, 'cause he knew that even if he made it out alive, he would have no home. He wouldn't be allowed back in Manhattan or Brooklyn, and now that he shot Brady, Midtown or Queens was out. Even Bronx and Harlem were out since everyone would know he was a traitor.
The Manhattan and Brooklyn gang was standing quietly in the back, watching this horrific scene unfold in front of them. They were watching the second person slowly die in that one night and their former friend getting the shit soaked outta him by his former friends. Mush was beginning to get worried about Blink.
"Shouldn't we help him?" Mush asked the group, quietly.
"No." Spot said, coldly. "He betrayed us. He's a scab. Since when do we help scabs?"
"But he saved you!"
"Wow. One good deed doesn't get him off the hook. He KILLED my best friend, Mush!"
Mush was silent.
All of a sudden, Milo's voice disrupted everyone.
"Brady's dead!" he cried, his voice cracking with emotion.
Everyone stopped in their tracks. Cobra, who was holding Blink by his shirt, dropped him with a thud. They all looked at Milo and at Brady's body, both covered in blood.
Spot knew then and there that this battle was over. Their leader was gone. Their source of power was gone. The glue that held them together was gone. Midtown as they knew it was gone.
As the Midtowners solemnly walked toward Brady, Milo walked to Spot.
"Spot, no more fighting. Both sides lost someone. I'm calling a truce." Milo said, his voice still a bit shaky.
With that, he spit on his hand and put it out. Spot thought about the offer for a few minutes, while looking around at his fellow newsies, all pleading with him to accept it. He finally came to a decision.
He spot on his own and shook with Milo, cementing the end of fighting, and the truce.
By the looks on everyone's faces, Spot could tell they were all silently thanking them.
"Brooklyn! Manhattan! Move out!" Spot ordered.
Spot and Jack watched their boys file out of the room and then walked over to Blink, who was slumped on the wall.
"Blink!" Spot yelled.
He snapped his head up, and visible winced, both from pain and emotionally.
"What?" Blink said in a tiny voice.
"You messed up big time, man. You're lucky you're alive."
Blink nodded and added, "I know"
"Let me be blunt. You're outta the lodging house." Jack said.
"And if ya step foot in Brooklyn, you're dead." Spot added.
Blink nodded weakly.
"Good. Let's go Jack."
They walked over to Riff's body and slowly started to pick him up. Cobra, seeing them struggling, went to help them. At first, Spot and Jack stopped, but after seeing the sincere look on Cobra's face, they continued and went out the door.
The room was silent until Milo spoke.
"Blink, get outta here. You're not welcomed here any more."
Blink slowly stood up and walked out of the lodging house. Not knowing where to go, he wandered around New York, still completely in shock over his own actions.
This was truly the most unforgettable night in his life. The night he would never forget.
