Chapter 2
Cards wondered why she was taking this girl to Brooklyn without getting more background information. 'Oh well too late to turn back now. At this point Brooklyn is probably taking a morning swim and me interrupting it would cause a commotion anyway.' As they approached the docks, Cards was proven correct. There were many Brooklyn newsies swimming around in the water even though it was early October and the temperature felt like it couldn't be more than 55 F. Looking around she saw Spot perched up on top of some crates. 'Well, at least I didn't interrupt his majesty's morning swim.' And from the looks of it he had just finished since his hair was still wet even if his clothes weren't. She started in the direction of Spot when a large newsie stepped out from a shadow.
"Wheah ya goin Cards?"
Cards looked at Allison and saw that she wasn't as scared of this guy as she thought she would be. 'Maybe there is more to this girl than I know already.' Turning her attention back to Fire, "I am goin ta talk ta Conlon so get out of me way Fiah." When she noticed he wasn't gonna move she gave a quick punch to his stomach making him double over and extremely easy to shove out of her way. Glaring at him "I told ya ta get out of me way." She saw Spot smile at the entertainment and he jumped down about 2 inches from her face. 'Show off.' Cards thought amused. They spit shook.
"So what brings ya ta Brooklyn Cards? I know it ain't da weathah fer ya ta wanna swim." Smiling at her knowing how she hated cold water even during the summer.
"Actually Conlon I want ya ta meet a girl. She's looking fer her bruddah and I promised ta help'r. Thought maybe ya might know'm." She watched as Spot looked at Allison.
Spot looked at her and couldn't help but laugh to himself. Here was a hoity toity girl, dressed as if she were going to a dinner party and with her hair up in curls, standing in the middle of New York's toughest group of newsies and she wasn't showing any fear at all. She actually looked quite comfortable in the surroundings. 'Wonder where she's from.' "Alright, I'll help ya. Wat's yer bruddah's name?"
Allison just stared at Spot like she had seen a ghost. 'It can't be. Can it?'
"Hey, ya alright goil?" suddenly wondering what her problem was.
"Do.do I know you from somewhere?" the girl suddenly able to speak. Spot laughed to himself. 'So that was it. She thought she knew him. I doubt it from the looks of her.' "I don't think so goil. It seems unlikely fer ya ta know da likes a me."
She just shook her head. "I.I do know you. You are in a picture I have. I was 5 and my brother was 7. If you're the other boy then you were 6." She started digging through her handbag. "It just has to be you. It couldn't be anyone else." She pulled out an old photo and showed it to Spot.
Spot looked at the picture and suddenly realized who this girl was. "Lil Ali is dat really ya. Who woulda guessed ya woulda grown up ta be such a goily goil." He paused thinking of how at 5 she could beat up the boys in their Harlem neighborhood. Well, most he thought to himself smiling how she could never beat him or Alexander or Francis. Remembering those names he snapped back to the present when he heard Jack's voice coming over the other newsies at the docks. 'Well, this should be a nice lil reunion.' He turned and noticed Jack, Race, Blink, and Mush coming towards him led by Angel, his girl of 5 months. 'The longes relationship I have ever had.' He thought looking at her.
Angel ran up to him with her face full of anger. " I LEAVE FER ONE DAY AND YA GO N' GET A REPLACEMENT FER ME. SPOT CONLON I HAVE DA IDEA TA."
But she didn't get to finish as Spot cut her off in a louder voice. "I WOULD LIKE EVERYONE TO MEET ONE 'A ME OLD FRIENDS FROM HARLEM." Then quieting his voice and looking directly at Angel. "She's heah looking fer her bruddah n' I said I would help'r."
Angel quieted herself as her face fell with embarrassment for jumping to conclusions "oh. Sorry."
Race went over, like the gentleman he tries to be around ladies, and introduced himself. "hello dere. Me name is Race, short fer."
"James 'Racetrack' Higgins." Allison finished with amusement in her eyes as she recognized the boys of the group. All except Spot and Cards showed shock in their faces and Angel quickly covered her shock with a shrug.
Jack stepped forward to introduce himself next. "And I'se Jack Kelly but round heah I'se also called Cowboy."
Allison turned to face him. Smiling she said "You sir are a liar. Your name is Francis Sullivan." She turned innocently to face a very nervous Mush and Blink. Looking at Mush first. "Hello Mush or I should say Anthony Meyers." Mush turned bright red at the idea of her knowing about him. Turning to Blink she suddenly drew a blank and could not place a name to the face. 'Must be a kid not from Harlem or one that has changed so much I can't place them. Oh well I'll just let them introduce themselves.' "You sir I know nothing about."
Blink breathed a sigh of relief at not being recognized. "I'se Kid Blink. Eidah jest Kid or jest Blink is fine wid me." Then letting his curiosity get the best of him he asked "How did ya know all dat bout da uddahs?"
"Knew Francis here when I knew Ben after my brother left. Then they left the following year and left me alone. I met up with James shortly after and became close to him until he left me too. I had nowhere to go so I got caught on the street and was sent to the orphanage where I met Anthony." Looking at everyone "They haven't changed enough for me not to recognize them right away except for Ben there." 'He looks even more serious and tough than he did in Harlem when we were younger if that's even possible.' "I mean I don't even think Race grew since he was 7."
Cards watched Race turn bright red as everyone laughed or smiled at the comment. 'I should say something. No don't!' but she must have ignored the second part as she said "Aww Racey don't worry ya is da perfect height." And she suddenly felt embarrassed for speaking as Spot turned a knowing look in her direction. 'Dammit you need to learn when to keep your mouth shut' She mentally kicked herself for openly allowing Spot to catch on to her feelings.
Spot turned to look at Jack and suddenly wondered why they were all here. "So Jacky-boy what are ya doin heah. I knows ya ain't protectin Angel cause she probably was protectin ya."
"Well Spot we'se got ourselves a problem in Manhattan." Jack said kinda nervously. He hated getting Brooklyn involved in his problems even though Spot was his best friend.
Spot grew serious as Allison watched his eyes go from blue to gray. 'Why is he acting so different?'
"What is it Jacky-boy?" Wondering what could possibly be going wrong in Manhattan.
"We have dis guy dat just wont leave me n' me newsies alone. He keeps askin fer a Samantha. But we don't know any Samanthas so we tell him dat. He keeps threatenin dat he will find'r. We'se not sure wat ta do bout him. We tried ta get rid a him but he just wont leave da young ones alone. Beat Snipes pretty bad yestaday when Snipes argued wid him." Jack shook his head at the image of Snipeshooter in the alley that they found him in.
Spot looked at Cards and Cards knew what she had to do. She nodded at Spot and faced Jack.
"Ya do know a Samantha." She watched as everyone turned and looked at her with either worry or surprise in their eyes. 'Well, here goes nothing I have to tell them now that he is back and after me.' She winced internally as she thought about him. She took a deep breath and looked at her friends finding strength in their concerned faces and especially in the face of Ali, the girl who thought she was the only one who needed help. *ok sorry it ended so suddenly but I have to end my typing time and it seemed like an okay time to stop. Please review and let me know if I should even bother continuing this story. I have about 5-6 more chapters hand written already and I will keep working on it if enough ppl are interested thanks. Bye
