"Angel Boss wake up!" Angel sat up in bed and scratched her head and stumbled to her door. She opened it a crack to look at the boy, it was Frankie her head man. He back away a little seeing her eyes, she never was a morning person. "I'm up" she mumbled and shut the door.
She pulled on some gray trousers and a red blouse. The sleeves were completely ripped off of the shirt and it was rolled up in a knot showing her nice abs as she usually she did with her button down shirts. She quickly brushed her hair and put it in a rather big messy bun, she had so much hair it was hard to put it in a pony tail or a bun. Everyone hadtold her to cut it but she liked her hair that way it reminded her of her grandmamma.
Her grandmamma had always had very long gray hair to the floor almost, Angel used to play with it as they sat in the fields of grass inItalybefore her grandmamma was killed. Angel pushed those bad memories in her heart away and grabbed her belt. She took a look in the minor and stepped out of her room.
There 5 boys were waiting including Frank, they followed her down the stairs and on the docks. She held her hand to her eyes blocking the bright summer sun. Everyone was working, most of the boys were shirtless too hot from the heat to wear a shirt Angel never minded. The BI's jobs were really just getting things ready for shipments. No one ever asked what they loaded so because of thier reputationeveryone thought it was something illegal like guns or drugs maybe even bodies from the mob. But all it really was, was normal stuff that people shiped likefood, furniture any other supplies the only thing different with their shipping was it went to different countries. But there was one secret about thier ships, 3 times a year a ship would come with a group of immigrant kids and bring them to New York. Some would join the BI's others would go on thier own.
"Boys" Angel turned around to the five boys who were behind her "Today we have to go to Manhattan I have to talk to Crunchy." Crunchy was a good friend of hers. They nodded "Nate you're in charge until I get back" she said pointing to a blond haired boy. He nodded and she and her boys set out for Manhattan.
Spot finished getting dressed and was getting ready to buy his paps when a thought hit him, he had had to talk to Jack about the newsies party next week and they were going to meet today at Tibbys. "Um Andrew" he said to one of his newsies I got to go to Manhattan to talk to Jack your in charge" he yelled as he took off to Manhattan.
"Jacky Boy" Spot said as he spit shook with Jack. "Spot sit" Jack said as he put his arm round his girlfriend Sarah who sat next to him in a booth at Tibbys. After the strike she became a waitress at Tibbys, she was wearing her uniform a white skirt that stopped above her knees with a tan apron over it and a white button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. "Ok Spot now this newsies party has to be out there you know like not just newsies come but all kids… so they know who we really are.The thing is we don't know where to have it" Jack said. Spot thought about it for a minute. "You right it's about time all New York kids knewwho we are besides the strike leaders... Place let me think we had one had Medda's and my dock is too small if all the kids are coming" he raised his eyebrows in thought.
"How about Eddies he was a newsie as a kid he'll probably let you have it there" said Sarah. Eddies was a big club in the Queens. All the newsies knew if they had no place to go they could go there for the night because the guy who ran it had a soft spot for newsies because when he was a kid he was one so he knew how hard it was with no family. "Perfect" yelled Racetrack who was sitting next to Spot. Jack kissed his girl on the check and said "yea it is me and Race will go ask Eddie now see later babe" he got out of the booth kissed his girl and she went back to work. "Talk to you later Spot" he yelled as he and Race left.
After grabbing a drink he headed out. As he passed an ally he heard yells he soon noticed that it was Cruchy, he was being bullied by some kids. "Hey" Spot yelled the kids looked at him and became a little sacred even though he was alone it still was Spot Conlon. "Hey Spot we were just showing him how to walk you know" the bigger kid said. "Yeah whatever" Spot said taking his cane out "maybe I should show you how to walk with a cane up your ass" he yelled hittingthe kidin the face with the cane. There were 4 kids and only one Spot the odds weren't good but Spot was used to it, in fact he kind of liked it.
