Furiously, Kid Blink plunged the stubborn toilet, but inspite of all his efforts, the water kept on flowing. He tried so hard to fix the stupid thing, yet everytime someone used it, it did this.
"Stupid thing! Drain already!" he stated angrily under his breath.
"Havin' trouble dere, Skipper?" Mush asked sarcastically coming up behind Blink.
Growling, Blink swung the plunger at Mush's head. Mush ducked and Bumlets, who had come in, got a face-full of toilet water.
"Aaaauugh!" Bumlets exclaimed.
Mush and Blink bust out laughing.
"I don't hear youse boys plumbing!" came the voice of Spot.
The three boys quickly stopped laughing as the Brooklyn newsie came up behind Bumlets.
"Now, wha's da problem here fellas?" Spot asked.
"Da sky is fallin', Spot." Blink responded sarcastically, but tried to sound serious.
Glaring, Spot stepped up to Blink and got in his face.
"Youse gotta attitude, Blink? Youse betta…"
Blink didn't listen to Spot; he had Spot's lectures memorized 'cause he'd had to listen to them so much. Staring aimlessly at Spot, Blink noticed a tiny green spec on Spot's tooth.
'How long has dat been dere?' he thought to himself.
"Hey guys!" Mush's voice broke Blink's green-spec-on-Spot's-tooth thoughts, "Is da toilet suppose ta do dat?"
Blink, Spot, and Bumlets all gazed into the toilet to see what Mush was taking about. In the bottom of the toilet a black spot was growing. The boys stared, transfixed by the spot. Soon, it became as large as the toilet bowl and a strong wind erupted from it. The boys stepped back as the wind blew in their faces. The wind became stronger and started to pull the boys into the spot.
"What the heck's goin' on?" Bumlets shouted, but his words were lost in the strong wind.
One by one the four newsies were sucked into the spot in the toilet.
"Hey guys! Jack said to…" Itey stopped and looked around the empty washroom, "Guys? Hello? Hey guys, where'd you go?" Confused, he turned and walked out.
