Disclaimer/Claimer: Nothing do I own....

Mad chaos ensued the whistle. The newsies began running about, attempting to get out of Irving Hall before they were caught; Medda was being rushed out by assistants; David was trying to get Jack out without getting arrested; and girls were frantically dodging the newsies as they ran. Everything was a mess.

Jenny looked to Danielle, Amanda, and Renee as they all simultaneously stood up. She began scanning the room, and as soon as she spotted something, she motioned the to follow. They did as motioned and began running behind her.

Jenny was moving as fast as her skirt allowed her. She had seen a doorway behind the stage and was headed to it. She reached the edge of the stage, pulling herself up. She looked to see that Amanda, Renee and Danielle were still behind her, then ran for the door.

They all reached it about the same time, and Amanda reached out and flung it open. They were greeted by the darkness of a narrow hallway, and because they could hear a police officer coming after them, they shoved in to it, Jenny going first, followed by Amanda, then Danielle, and lastly Renee. The door slammed shut, and they began trying to move through it.

"Careful now, there's something on the floor. Might be a pipe," Jenny said as she pressed her hands against the wall in an attempt to steady herself and keep from falling.

"Ow!" Amanda cried as Danielle stepped on her ankle. "Elle, I swear," she left off threateningly.

"I didn't try it!" Danielle called out in defense.

"Both of you shut up before someone hears us!" Renee hissed dangerously as she followed them. Both her friends shut up, knowing that it was starting to get to her that Blink was going to get hurt, and there was nothing she could do about it.

Jenny whispered to them to halt, explaining that she had found a door after having run right into it. All four girls were quiet and she eased the door open. However, what they were greeted with was not the fresh air of an alley. It was Oscar and Morris Delancey, along with some random members of the crib.

"Lookey here boys, some pretty gals came walkin' right to us," Oscar said. He grabbed Jenny and flung her into his brother. He then proceeded to grab Amanda and tossed her to another man.

Danielle and Renee turned and headed back. However, Oscar managed to grab Danielle before she got far, handing her roughly to another crib member. He then chased Renee.

Renee ran as quick as she could down the hall, hoping nothing would happen to her. Before she reached the door though, Oscar grabbed her around the waist and lifted her up. He dragged her out, her kicking the whole time.

"Get off me you dike!" she shouted, knowing he wouldn't know what a dike was. She had never used it before, but she was infuriated at the moment.

"Shut it you wretch, or I'll keep you for myself," he hissed back as he stepped down and out of the hall, taking her with him. She clawed at his arms, trying to get out. He winced, but held her firm as before.

After all four girls were held secure to prevent them from running away, Oscar looked at them all. He looked to Amanda, and leaned in towards her face. "My my, what a beaut. How about if you and your friends promise to be good, we won't turn you in. And hey, if you give me a little kiss, we'll even let you go now," he said, his trademark smirk taking over his face.

Amanda spit in his face, causing him to back away. He wiped his face with his sleeve, staring at her furiously. He launched at her, saying "why you little..." However, a man from the crib stopped him.

"No, Oscar. Let her spend some time in the convent, see how that fixes her," he said, grinning evilly at her.

Amanda continued to glare, the others attempting to get free. It was no use, and they all shoved them into the wagon they had come in. As the wagon began to drive away, each man holding the girl they had on the ground, the driver turned to them briefly.

"For the next three weeks girlies, you'll be in seperate convent areas. There you'll learn some REAL respect," he said before turning back around and laughing menacingly.

wildchild22: YAY! YOU actually updated! lol, great times girl, great times. We watched Newsies what, 15 times in a row? lmao, like I said, great times. I'm glad you like it, and I hope you like this one too. I changed it a little though.

Moonlights Sundance: yeah, I know it wasn't soon, but I couldn't help it. Indoor is a pain, really. I love it, it's still a lot of fun, but a lot of stress and a huge pain. I hope to update more soon, I really do, and I hope you like this and what's to come.

LadyRach: I'm glad you like the Blink and Ray parts, a lot of people seem to. I'm also really glad you're "fascinated" by it. I don't think anyone's said it quite like that before. I apologize again for not updating soon, but like I said, I've had a lot to do, plus being sick. So I hope you like this!

WOOT WOOT! I can proudly say I am a poom belt (right before black) now, and our indoor season is almost over (end of march) so I'll have more time to write and all. I hope you all likes!
