Hands led her through the few hallways that made up the lodging house showing her most of the rooms. He stopped a one though and refused to open the door.
"What's in that room" she asked innocently
"Prisoner of war" he answered
"I heard rumor that you have Jack Kelly hostage. Is that true"
"He's right in there. I captured him myself."
"All by yourself? That's quite a task."
Hands seemed to almost glow with all the bragging that followed her statement. He went through an outlandish tale of how he single handedly took down Jack Kelly and brought him here.
"Could I see him" she asked knowing that she was pushing it
"I really shouldn't. It's really Deacon's prisoner. I'm just in charge of keeping an eye on him."
"So you're the only one with the key" she asked forcing herself to push her body up against his.
Gin's hands where sitting gently on his chest before she let them slid up his body to his shoulders causing an even closer encounter.
"Yes.indeed" he said stumbling over his words.
Her hands slid to his neck and rested there for mere second before she suddenly thrusted his body away from hers causing his head to smack against the wall. She quickly grabbed at his body holding him up from the floor and carefully letting him down so as not to let anyone notice a sudden bump from above and come looking.
Once Hands was on the floor she quickly went for the pockets taking out a key. She worked the lock and looked in seeing Jack near the door as if he had been listening to everything.
"My God.I couldn't have asked for anything better." He stated as he assessed her appearance before him with a chuckle.
Gin swatted at him quickly going for the buttons that she had left undone.
"We don't have a whole lot of time." She reminded him Gin turned and grabbed Hands' hands and began pulling his body towards the room Jack vacated.
"Wait let me" Jack stated grabbing the hands and moving the body faster.
After Hand's was inside Gin locked the door and placed the key into Jack's pocket. Then they walked to the bunkroom careful not to make too much noise by running. As soon as they made it there Gin walked in first to make sure no one else was around. Gin walked back out of the room grabbing Jack's hand. They went to the window and climbed out onto the fire escape.
Suddenly voices began to come from outside the bunkroom.
"Nonsense I wasn't supposed to meet anyone." Protested a female voice no doubt in Gin's mind it was Deacon
"Well that's what she told Hands" responded a male voice
"Where are they now"
"I don't know he was giving her a tour of the lodging house."
"Jack Kelly! Quick check the room." She ordered Gin quickly shut the window and her and Jack began to run for it. They ran down the fire escape and onto the street. They were just about all the way down when they heard the window of the lodging house open again and Deacon yelled out something.
Jack grabbed Gin's hand all the tighter and the two took off. They ducked into alleys and shadows as they tried to avoid the Harlem newsies. It became later and later and the two were still unable to make it to Manhattan.
Jack found an abandoned warehouse and quickly ran to it with Gin at his side. Both were breathing hard as they leaned against the door of the place. Jack looked at her with an amazed look on his face.
"I can't believe you did that."
"Did you think I would just leave you there" she asked as she turned to look at him
Their eyes locked and neither was willing to move.
"Every time our eyes meet this feeling inside me is almost more than I can take." Admitted Jack as his hands grabbed her shoulders gently as if afraid that she would run away from him.
"Jack when you touch me I can feel how much you love me, and it just blows me away."
"I've never been this close to anyone or anything. I can hear your thoughts."
"I can see your dreams."
"What do you know of my dreams"
"I know you want to go to Santa Fe"
"I will one day.will you come with me"
"There's nothing I'd rather do." She answered truthfully
"I don't know how you do what you do I'm so in love with you and it just keeps getting better."
"The smell of your skin.the taste of your kiss.the way you whisper in the dark."
Jack ran his fingers through her soft hair.
"You're hair all around you. Gin you surround me and touch every place in my heart. It feels like the first time I've touched you every time." He stated
"I want to spend the whole night in your arms." Gin proclaimed
"I want to spend the rest of my life with you by my side forever and ever. Every little thing that you do.Gin I'm amazed by you."
"What makes me so amazing" she asked
"Every little thing that you do.I'm so in love with you and it just keeps getting better. I want to spend the rest of my life with you by my side forever and ever. Gin I'm so amazed by you."
"No one has ever said anything even close to that to me before." She whispered
Jack's arms wrapped around her and pulled her to him. He tilted her face towards his and kissed her. Sage is not going to be happy about this Gin thought.
