Newsies In Dreamland Chapter 13, a newsies fanfic

Chapter 13

Another week had gone by and from what we hear Kirsten isn't doing any better. We decided that we had to get her out of there as soon as possible. But how? Any way we look at it, we knew we would be caught and charged for kidnapping. Nobody could think of anything. Well, a couple of days ago, Spot had an idea of how we could get Kirsten back and do it legally. Spot assembled us (meaning Jack, Blink, Race, Mush, David, and me) in my room to tell us his plan.

"All right everyone, I have a plan to get Kirsten back but everyone has to agree ta do it." Spot said after we were all assembled.

"Well, what is it?" Blink asked.

"Well, if my assumptions are correct there should be a social worker comin' ta see how Kirsten is doin', right Dave?"

"Yeah."

"And I'm assuming that that means that your parents will let us visit more often in order to get Kirsten to eat so the social worker will think she's fine."

"Yeah."

"I say we don't visit. That way it'll look like they're not takin' care of her. The social worker will have to take Kirsten out of there and put her in a different home. If me and Jack can prove that we're her uncles, she'll be able ta stay wit us. Now everyone has to agree ta do it or else we don't do it." Spot explained.

There was silence for a while. Everyone was contemplating whether or not we should go along with the plan or not.

"I agree." Blink said being the first to break the silence.

"All right. Mush what a you say?"

"Well, if she's back wit us and happy then I agree." Replied Mush.

"Race?"

"Yeah, ok."

"Dave?"

"Sure."

"Ann?"

I looked around the room for a few moments. I didn't like the starving her part but she would be happy and healthy.

"All right." I said.

"Jack?"

Jack didn't say anything for a long time. I could tell he was having second thoughts about getting Kirsten out.

"Come on Jack. She'll be happy and healthy." Spot said trying to convince him. Jack looked at all of us.

"All right."

"Ok. Dave, I need ya ta go talk ta Feisty. See if she agrees then I need ya ta tell Sarah. Don't let your parents know."

"All right." Davis said and went to tell Feisty. The rest of the boys dispersed.

"Heya Spot." came a girl's voice. Spot looked over his shoulder to see Sarah.

"Heya Sarah. How's Kirsten?"

"Still not doing so good." Sarah replied.

"Well, we have a plan to get her back."

"And what would that be?"

So Spot explained the whole plan. By the look on her face, she wasn't to thrilled about it.

"It's up to Kirsten whether or not you officially do this." Sarah said after Spot was finished.

"I don't know if we should tell her." Jack said.

"We have ta tell her Jack. If we don't she'll think we've abandoned her then she'll hate us." Spot explained.

I had to agree with Spot. When they did take her out of the Jacobs' house and we hadn't told her why we didn't visit when we could have, she'd probably hate us and she wouldn't be placed with us. We had to look at it from her point of view.

"All right fine. Tell her then." Jack said.

"I'll go talk to Kirsten and see what she wants to do." Said Sarah and she walked out.

"I don't know if we should do this Spot." jack said tentatively.

"What a ya mean?" Spot asked.

"I mean I'm not sure if we should take her out of there." Jack replied.

"Why shouldn't we?"

"She has a bed ta sleep on, she's got a roof over her head, and she's got food ta eat."

"She's not happy there and she doesn't eat."

"I don't want her ta have the life we had."

"She won't. She'll be here. She won't have ta live at the lodgin' house unless she wants to. She'll always have food ta eat and she'll be warm and happy."

"I guess you're right."

-in Kirsten's room at the Jacobs' apartment-

"Hi Kirsten." Sarah was only greeted by silence.

"I've got some good news for you from Spot and Jack." Still silence.

"They have a plan to get you out of here."

"What is it?" Kirsten asked.

"Well, it's ultimately up to you whether they do it or not, but the plan is that they won't visit so when the social worker comes it looks like you're not being taken care of and you'll be taken out. Then Spot and Jack will prove that they're your uncles so you can live with them." Sarah explained.

"I wanna do it."

"Are you sure?"

"I don't wanna be here. This is your family not mine. Spot, Jack, Ann, David, Feisty, Blink, Race, Mush, Liz, Kelly, Marne, and all the other newsies are my family. I want to be with them." Kirsten said with tears in her eyes.

"All right. If it's what you want to do."

"I want to do it."

Sarah came back and told us that Kirsten was all for it. David came back and told us that Feisty had agreed to it. Word had gotten around about the plan and the newsies agreed that it was a good plan. Now all we had to do was wait.

AN: I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I hope that by the time I write the next chapter, Kirsten will be with us but we'll see. Please review. You all know I love reviews. I will try to have the next chapter up soon. I will try and make my brain concentrate on this story and Middle Ground. See, my mind has been in the clouds lately because Tom and I are going out now. I'm so happy.
