Chapter 3
'Breath and just tell them' she looked around and saw Jack walking towards her.
"Wat ya talking bout Cards?" confusion being the only expression on his face.
'I thought he was smarter' Cards laughed internally then remembered the conversation and her mood went dark again. "My name is Samantha Connelly. I'm who the guy is looking for." She thought of how she felt a little better releasing her burden to her friends but remembered the threat made to her.
~FLASHBACK TO A YEAR EARLIER~
He had the girl pinned against the wall. 'He's gonna kill me this time I know he is.' With fear constantly running through her mind she could think of no way out the situation.
"Girl, I'se told ya dat ya could nevah hide from me." His speech slurred by the alcohol he had consumed that night. His breath making Samantha even sicker than she already felt with his hand gripping her throat. "Ya gonna pay fer wat ya'se done."
Suddenly finding a voice "I didn't do it! It wasn't me ya son of a bitch it was me fadduh!" Then regretting saying anything as he brought his fist to collide with her stomach.
"Shut yer mouth ya worthless street rat. I'se don't care wat membah of ya family did it you'se gettin da payback." He brought out a blade and brought it to her throat as someone came up behind him and grabbed him around the neck. As he fell backwards the blade made a cut against her lower right cheek. Able to breath she looked at the person who was attacking the large man and saw a boy beating him with his fists and a gold tipped cane. Suddenly the boy turned to Samantha and yelled "Let's go!" he grabbed her wrist and dragged her out of the alley into the main street. Behind her they could hear him stirring and starting to yell after them. "I'll gets ya Samantha and dat's me promise. I'll get ya 'n dat boy! Ya gonna pay goil n' so'se anyone dat gets in me way of ya!"
~END FLASHBACK~ Cards was thinking and unknowingly rubbing her scar when Race walked over to her and put his arm around her protectively. "Don't worry Cards we'se gonna protect ya." She knew it should have made her feel better but she couldn't help but think of the warning and looking at Race and then at Spot she cried "NO!" and took off running. She didn't make it farther than a block before she was tackled to the ground. She was fully prepared to strike her attacker when she saw it was Allison.
"Wat da hell da ya think ya doin goil. Get off me n' let me go or ya'll be sorry." Glaring at her.
However, Allison matched it with an equally cold glare "Don't give me that crap Cards. You are gonna come back or you are going to be the one regretting your choice. You promised me you would take me to find my brother. I'm not very nice to people who break promises."
Cards realized that she shouldn't start a fight at this moment and especially with a girl who she didn't know. She let out a loud sigh. "Alright alright ya win ya happy." Allison got up and watched as Cards jumped up and brushed herself off. Allison pushed her back towards a very upset Spot.
"Wat da HELL is yer problem goil." Spot spat out through clenched teeth. Angel put a hand on his shoulder but he shrugged it off.
Cards looked at him with determination in her eyes as she stormed right up into his face "I don't want yer protection. It's to dangerouse n' ya know it Conlon." She turned to walk away when she heard Race move toward her. Quickly turning back around "Dat goes fer all of ya!"
Spot just glared at her as he threatened "Noone heah knows bettah den me wat ya are goin thru but if ya keep askin fer no protection ya just might not get it." He quickly turned and with a wave of his hand his Brooklyn newsies left the docks and went into the lodging house. As he reached the door he heard another voice enter the argument.
"BENJAMEN ANTHONY CONLON GET YOUR LEADER ASS BACK HERE!"
Spot stopped and slowly turned around to see Ali storming after him. Standing perfectly still he said too calmly "Dis don't involve ya Ali jest go back home."
Ali's face filled with an anger that shocked all those around her, all that is other than Spot. "It sure as hell involves me. Your friends of mine, if not now then you once were. If it involves friends it sure as hell involves me."
Spot stepped right up into her face. "Watch it Ali. Da world ain't how it was when ya lived in Harlem. It's changed and so have ya."
Ali stared into his cold gray eyes and suddenly lost all control of her temper. "You think I'm the only one that has changed you stubborn ass jerk. Well look at yourself. What happened to the kid I used to know?"
"He lived on da streets fer 9 years of his life. Learned ta be tough. It was easiah ta live dis way."
Ali's eyes suddenly went sad as she stared at a friend who had left her alone in the world. "I knew that. I had to live through my best friend leaving me without even a goodbye or an explanation. It isn't that easy to forget even when you were only 6 years old." She turned away suddenly full of anger at him leaving her to face the world alone.
'I'm right she has changed. She would never have walked away from a fight,' thought Spot smiling.
As she turned to walk away, she timed herself and suddenly spun back around and threw her fist into Spot's stomach, catching him off-guard and causing him to double over. "I am still the same stubborn girl Spot. I haven't changed that much."
Spot straightened up and looked Ali in the eyes. And suddenly Ali was more afraid of him than anything she had ever feared in her life. 'He's changed. He's tougher and colder.' She tried to match his glare but found herself backing away from him but with every step back she took he took another step forward. 'Face him girl face him.'
