CHAPTER 4
Brooklyn
Tink slowly got out of bed and dressed for the day. Spot had introduced her to Lucky, the only girl newsie in Brooklyn beside herself, and Jay, a really good looking guy newsie, those were the only two who had been awake at the time they got there. Now could meet the rest! Finally out on my own meeting new people having a real adventure! Her thoughts turned to her sister…ahh I bet shes doing fine prolly found some work in a factory or something what I am I worried about? Convincing herself everything was fine she walked out onto the docks smiling.
"Hey Jay," she smiled sweetly at the tall blond boy.
"Hello Tink," he turned the page to his paper searching for good headlines. "Ya ready for yer foist day of selin'"
"Yea! I cant wait!" she stood near him leaning over so she could read his paper. Mayor meets with Chief of Police at City Hall. "People actually read dis stuff?" she asked incredulously
"Nope, they would read something like Chief of Police gone made and kidnaps Mayer near city hall"
"So you just make stuff up?" he nodded. "Dat can't be too hard." She smiled and looked around the docks. "Hey Lucky overa hear." She waved to the dark harried girl.
"Good morning Tink, Jay, hows da headlines?"
"Not impossible but difficult." He flipped the page again. Scanning it quickly. Tink stood quietly while everyone around her sifted thought that mornings papers.
Spot approached the docks with a good amount of papes tucked under his right arm. His trademark cane swinging by his side and a cocky grin plastered on his face, he spit shook with a few of the newsies and then came up to Tink Jay and Lucky. Tink turned around when he touched her shoulder.
"Did ya sleep good?" He asked and handed her about fifty papes.
"Yea you'se gots a nice place here Spot."
"Yea I think so too, well ya ready ta sell, dis news is gonna be old before we'se even get ta sell it."
"Dis news was already old when dey put it in da papes." Jay sighed and stood up. "Well its gonna be a long day, I'se betta get goin' see ya all later." they waved goodbye and watched as he walked away from the docks.
"We'se better be goin' too." Spot walked off with Tink close behind. Lucky had found Jax a dark harried boy to sell with. Eventually all the newsies were off to sell.
Sheepshed Races
Racetrack stood in line at the races scanning the crowds. He approached the window eyeing the old man at the counter.
"Hows da weather today?" He asked inspecting the board for a good horse to place a bet on.
"Looks like sunshine till about four o'clock." Rainman said looking up at the sky.
"Well then hows about I place two bucks on da fourth." He slapped the money down, the old man gave him his ticket then he walked off into the crowds. Race yelled headlines over the mass of people slowly trying to make his way over to the bleacher so he could watch the race, but stopped when he saw a girl walking casually along her strawberry blond hair cut to her shoulder and her vibrant blue eyes. Race couldn't take his eyes off her. She saw him too and made eye contact as she walked up to him.
"Racetrack right?" she stated eyeing him up and down.
"Yea how did you'se know my name?" He was astonished that she had come up to him let alone knew his name. "Do I know you." He took his cigar out of his mouth and looked at her more closely.
"Me names Dice I gots someone who wants ta talk to ya, follow me." She walked off knowing he would follow.
"Where are we going, I'se got things ta do ya know?" Race spat.
"Ta see someone, like I said." She glanced over her shoulder at the Italian boy, who to her surprise was really adorable; she had expected some ugly guy with teeth missing. She lead him under the bleachers to where Ace was.
"Heya Racetrack long time no see." He older boy spit in his hand and held it out for Race to shake.
"Nice ta see ya Ace how are things?" he spit in his hand and shook Aces.
"Ya know sometimes good sometimes bad." Ace turned to look at the girl. "So Dice what did ya bring me today?" Dice pulled a few dolors and change out of her pocket, then reached into her other pocket and pulled out a gold pocket watch.
"Hey Dats Mine!" Race yelled snatching it back.
"Geez don't get all grabby on me now! I woulda given it back." She rolled her eyes at him.
"Well Race Dice is kinda da reason I wanted ta see ya." He paused and looked at both.
"She needs a place ta stay da Races aint no place for a girl." Ace said receiving a punch in the arm from Dice.
"I told ya I don't need a babysitter Ace."
"I aint havin' no sister of mine caught up in my mess, yer going wit Race!"
"Wait hold on a second shes yer sista? I didn't know ya had a sister." Race smirked.
"Yea I do, listin' deres something I havfta take care of an I don't want Dice involved. Do you think she could go wit you to da lodging house and sell wit you'se fer a few days?"
"Sure Ace," he smiled at the girl "Looks like you'se is gonna follow me now."
"Get oveah yerself!" Dice pushed past him and waited by the side of the bleachers. Racetrack smiled to himself as he looked at her with her arms crossed against her chest and a scowl on her face.
Manhattan
"Mayer and Chief of Police involved in scandals!" Gemini yelled to the paserbyers of bottle alley. She had only sold about twenty out of her fifty papers. She looked over at Mush who had only about ten from what she could tell of his papers left. "Uh I give UP!" She threw her papers on the ground in frustration. Mush gave her a concerned look.
"Hey Gem whats wrong?"
"Do you not see how many papes I have left! I give up I'se never gonna make enough money to do anything but sleep! I'll be stealing the rest of me life and I'll end up old and alone on some street corner! If I don't starve to death first!" she yelled in frustration. Mush smiled and put his arms around her.
"Don't worry Gem. I'll sell the rest of my papes and then I'll help you sell yours." He tried to comfort her.
"Its not just that its everything! Mush yer me best friend and I like ya a lot, and you know I like Jack but hes with Sarah and its more than I can take I swear if I see him kiss her one more time I'm gonna vomit all over her! That's all I can think about. Am I really that not likeable, sophisticated, and pretty as her, I mean he says he loves me, but then why is he not with me?"
"He's blind Gem, he just doesn't see what I see in you…" she looked up at him, and smiled.
"Really?" he hugged her tighter, she leaned her head on his shoulder.
"Yea." Jack don't deserve her! "Lets go ta Tibbys and get some lunch den we'll sell the rest of your papes.
"Alright." She smiled warmly at him. "Hey Mush." He looked down at her.
"Yea?"
"Thanks." She kissed him lightly on the lips. He blushed deeply. She grinned, picked up her papers and took his hand as they walked to Tibbys.
Brooklyn…
Tink got done selling her papers in record time. Not as quickly as Spot of course but quick. Tink noticed Jay approaching.
"Hey Jay!" Jay ran his fingers though his blond hair and shifted his papes to his other arm.
"Heya Tink! How'd yer first day go?"
"What ya doing over here Jay?" Spot cut her off before she could even get a word in.
"Spot I gotta talk to ya, alone." They both looked over at Tink.
"Yea ok I'se get da pictcha I'm gone," she walked off toward a fruit vender and got an apple. She planned on giving it to Spot as half of her payment. The two boys conversed in low voices. When they were finally done they came over to her.
"Hey Tink you'se is gonna go with Jay I have some business to attend to." Spot walked off in the opposite direction.
"Hey Spot wait!" Tink yelled, Spot turned back around to face her, but saw an apple flying in his direction.
"Dats for yesterday." He smirked and nodded his head.
Bronx
Hawk had just finished visiting Queens and the gang and was heading back to Tibbys. About half way there she noticed a boy with light greasy hair following her. She was looking back to much to notice what was in front of her. She bumped into someone looking straight into his chest then looked up at his face.
"Heya hawk long time no see. Wheres ya little pal Ace?" Sly sneered. The boy that had been following her came up close behind her sandwiching her between the two.
"Now Sly why would I tell you. I seriously think you'se has gotten dumber over da years if dats possible." He glared at her and forced her back into an alley. "Now come on we aint losing our sense of humor now are we?"
"No!" he punched her in her stomach, "I find that quite funny." He laughed along with his companion. Hawk rammed her fist into his smiling face. He stood up with real anger in his eyes now. He swung at her and missed. She came up on the other side of him and caught his side. The other boy came in and hit her in the eye knocking her back. The two boys slowly crept forward each wanting to get a hit in.
"A party! Why wasn't I invited?" Spot stood at the end of the alley leaning on hand on his cane. They both dove for him but Spot backed up then started hitting Sly with his cane. Sly came up and swung at Spot knocking the cane from his hand. Spot eyes turned dangerous gray. He hit sly over and over again in the face dogging a few hits. Hawk was now on her feet giving the other guy a taste of his own medicine.
The boy that Hawk was fighting finally gave up and ran out of the alley. She looked over at Spot who was kicking Sly, who was on the ground clearly defeated. The look of rage on his face and the anger in his eyes made her shutter. He just kept kicking him harder and harder, no mercy. Finally he walked toward her.
"You ok?" He titled her chin up to look at her eye.
"yea I'm alright." He embraced her tightly resting his chin on her head and stroked her hair lightly.
"Lets go." Spot let go of her and picked up his cane from the ground and placed it back in its rightful place. She walked up behind him. He placed an arm around her shoulders and they walked back to Brooklyn together.
Sorry I couldn't write any more…. But next chapter is Tibbys and I changed my mind when I wrote this I had originally thought of Tink being in the fight but she has nothing to do with Sly so I put Hawk in instead and I think it turned out better.
