Chapter 3

The First Night

The three boys inched toward the back of the alley as the Delancey's advanced further.

"Well boys, why are you alone?" Oscar said in a sickly sweet voice. "Where are your protectors?"

"We don't need no one protecting us!" Snipe shot back sounding more courageous than he felt.

"Really, well lets see what you will do when I do this!" With that Oscar pulled Snipe roughly to his feet and was about to punch him in the stomach when Les jumped up and kicked him in the crotch.

"AHHHH" Oscar screamed like a girl and doubled over in pain. So Morris took over, but the three boys ran into him knocking him to the ground. While Les and Boots held down his arms and legs Snipe started punching his stomach. After a few minutes Snipe had knocked the air out of him.

"Alright, on the count of three run for it!" Snipe told the others.

"1…" Morris started to get his breathe back faster than they expected.

"3…" And with a burst of speed the three boys shot out of the alley and ran down the street not really knowing where they were going.

Davey was just selling off his last pape when he saw his sister running toward him.

"Hey Sarah what's going on?" He asked as she reached him.

"It's Les' birthday and you guys need to get home to celebrate."

"Oh yeah!" Davey said suddenly remembering. Then his heart sank.

"Wait you mean he's not at home?" Sarah shook her head.

"We thought he left with you." Sarah paled.

"Don't worry he's probably around here somewhere with Snipe and Boots'."

"Okay well lets find him! He's 10 today!"

They ran to the lodging house to see if Jack knew where the younger boys were. They got to the lodging house to find some of the boys pacing.

"What's going on?" Davey asked Mush because he was closest.

"We haven't seen Boots or Snipe all day."

"What?"

"We didn't really notice this morning that they weren't there."

"Wait." Davey started thinking back to the morning. "I didn't see Les either."

"Oh well they are probably together somewhere fooling around."

"Yea well it's not a good day to do that. It's Les' 10 birthday."

"Then it makes sense they are probably off somewhere celebrating!" So Sarah ran home to tell her folks that Les was celebrating with his friends and that he would be home soon while Davey and the boys hung out.

Three hours later at ten the younger boys still hadn't come back, but once again they didn't seem to notice.

When they finally stopped running they had NO idea where they were. No familiar landmarks or people, now that they looked around there were NO people anywhere.

"Snipe, where are all the people?" Les asked quietly. They seemed to be in the middle of a bunch of old run down buildings. With weird names such as 'Bill's Bucket of Brandy' and 'Harold's Home for the Hopeless.'

"How do we get back to 'Hattan?" Boots wondered out loud looking around. Les and Snipe shrugged.

"I say we start going the way we came." Snipe announced shakily. So they turned and RAN as fast as they could. Little did they know they were running the opposite way they had come.
