Chapter eightManhattan just down the road form the Distribution Center- 10:30
"Dice are you sure you know where your going?"
"Of course I do! Were right where I want to be." Dice retorted. Racetrack rolled his eyes and followed the girl who insisted that she pick where they would sell today.
42nd street-12:00pm
Spunk took a bite of her juicy stolen pear and strolled happily down 42nd street. Thinking about how she was going to pay for this weeks stay at the lodge. Selling hadn't gone well and she was short on cash, one of the many things that she could never count on with being a newsie an all was a steady cash flow. She could however always count on three things one, there would always be papes to sell two, she will always be dirt poor, and three, 42nd street would always be crowded and bustling with people.
She finished every last bite of her pear then discarded the core on the ground. Now what headline should I call foist, crazy maniac robber or da police boating scandal? She thought to herself. Spunk smiled deviously.
"Crazed maniac police chief robs a boat full of stolen goods," she waved the paper above her head to attract more attention. A plump gentleman in a black suit stopped to buy one, and not giving her a second glance and walked away. Yeah walk away ya lousy hotie toite bastard! Don't give a street rat like me a second glance just keep goin like everythin in dis world is hunky dorey!
"Spunk!" Blink yelled at the girl to get her attention.
"What!" She snapped at Blink who was making his way toward her. His smile faded. Was it just him that pissed her off or was he just lucky enough to always find her in a bad mood.
"Nothin I just saw yous and thought I'd say hi is all." He wiped the sweat from his brow with his sleeve. "Well I guess I'se 'll be goin now." He adjusted his hat and started to walk away.
"Blink," he turned back around. Spunk was standing with one hand on her hip while the other drooped to the side with the papers, her brown stringy hair, a little straggly, hanging freely down to her shoulders and a annoyed look on her face. "Dats it, yous is going to leave a goil all by herself on da streets of NY in da middle of broad daylight! What kinda creep are yous? Now if you was a gentlemen you might ask me if you could walk me somewhere." Blink looked at her in disbelief as she said the words, but when she started to smile he realized she was joking. He smirked and held out his elbow for Spunk to take.
Somewhere unknown to Dice (an alley near the Brooklyn Bridge)- 1:00
"Were no where near Brooklyn, dats how much you know." Dice said hotly. Race pointed at a sign that said Brooklyn. She blushed furiously.
"I thought you knew dese streets like da back of yer hand." She glared at him and stuck out her toung.
Midtown-2:07pm
"And then the guy jumps outta no where with a club dat musta been like bigger den me," She stretched her arms out for emphasize "an of course me an spida weren't scared we just ran away so dat we wouldn't hafta hoit da bum. But could you imagine me and spida accidentally picking up dis mans money which he had clearly dropped and us innocent girls jist wanted to give it back to him and den he has da noive ta threaten us! I tink, and dats da stupidest thing I ever heard he was just a jerk, and dats da honest to God truth." Mush chuckled lightly and looked at the small girl who could concoct the world's biggest lies. She was pretty amazing, and she had made him forget about Gem for the day like he had wanted.
"Where is spida anyways?" he asked looking around for the dark haired girl who was usually glued to truths side and visa versa.
"Oh she went off somewhere wit Risk" Truth said dismissively. "You should stay for poker tonight, you wont believe what happened last night"
"Nope I bet I wont." Mush mumbled under his breath smiling as the girl told her somewhat true story, but hey after all that was Truth. He wondered if he was going to be able to sell the rest of his papers, with Truth around she might steal all of his business, he dismissed it and decided that one day without getting all his papes sold wouldn't be that bad, as long as it was for Truth.
Manhattan Central Park- 2:20pm
"Give it back GEM!" Jack chased Gem around central park trying to get his hat back from her. Unfortunately for him she was faster. Her curls bounced as she ran taunting him every now and then by turning around and waving the hat in his direction.
Giving it one last attempt he flung himself toward her, the two of them came crashing to the ground, getting agitated looks from the higher class. Jack snatched the hat from Gems fingers giving her a nasty look.
"Yous such a baby!" She dusted off her pants and walked over to her stack of papers that she had left on the ground.
"Dice come back I didn't mean it!" They both turned to see Racetrack and Dice. Race had a cigar in his hand and his papes in the other. He threw down his papers, grabbed Dice's arm and spun her around.
"Don't touch me!" she yelled and yanked her arm away. "I hate you!" She walked off again.
"Fine don't except my appolgy! Just go walk away like a little brat." He angrily picked up his papes and shoved the cigar in his mouth and walked in the other direction.
"Well that didn't look good." Gem observed. Jack looked over at her and smiled.
"Yea I don't think Race and Dice is getting along, but what can ya do, lets go sell da rest of our papes, we can talk ta dem later."
3:00 Manhattan
Gem had sold forty papes a record for her.
Jack sold his hundred, then with protest by Gem, helped her sell the rest of hers.
4:00 Sheepshed Races
"Dice I thought you was wit Race?" Ace looked at his sister in disbelief. "You cant be here!"
"Yea well I'd rather be here with all da danger in da world den with that stupid self absorbed bastard!" She kicked the ground thinking of it as Race's head.
"No you cant be here I'se taking you back now…"
"But Ace…"
"I don't want to here it Dice, now shut up and come with me!" She grudgingly followed.
5:00
Blink stared in disbelief at a girl who looked exactly like Belle. She had short dark hair and fair skin just like the girl he'd once known, and her eyes the same her expression. She started walking toward him.
"Hello Blink. Do you remember me?" she asked hesitantly. He only nodded in reply still staring at her as if she were a ghost.
7:00 Manhattan LH
