Blow UP and One step closer

David was frantic. He knew in his heart that Rose was dearer to him than anyone else in the world. He knew that he loved her. Loved her since she first came into Tibby's scared out of her wits and calling herself No One. Since she looked him straight in the eyes and made his nickname sound like the most inspiring, the greatest "Mouth" there ever was. And now... Dave could almost go and punch Spot. It was like all he had said was coming true, and he had lost her forever. She had left. But he refused to let her disappear. He knew who was after her, what means he had at his disposal. But he didn't know where. Bumlets was next to him looking distracted.

"Bumlets, you didn't here where they were going? Did Angel tell you anything when you were selling together?" Dave asked Bumlets as they were walking the streets of Manhattan, hoping.

"Nah, she didn't seem so happy bout her past. So I made her laugh instead," Bumlets said wishing he had found out more about her. Feeling like it was all his fault.

"Well I wished you thought more!" Dave said bitterly.

"Maybe you should have stuck with your goil better!" Bumlets cried back.

"My Girl?! I didn't even get to dance with her hot stuff, some date," Dave exclaimed.

"Maybe there's a reason she left! Maybe she left to get away from you!!" Bumlets yelled.

Dave stood glowering. Glaring at Bumlets.

"Ya don't trust her," Bumlets continued.

"Yes I do, I just care about her," Dave said strained.

"But does she care about you?" Bumlets asked, stinging David to the heart.

"I'm going to find out," David said calmly and stalked off checking the shadows.

Bumlets stood there and sighed. Sure of David asking, and sure of how she would answer. At least she would still be his friend... If they ever found her.

Days past and the Newsies were getting desperate for news. No one had seen Thorns since the night of the party. Then one day, a meek woman dressed in a humble maid's uniform can up to one of the boys standing by ol' Horce Green.

"Did you know Miss Rose Luelwyn?" She said faintly.

The boy turned his bright eyes to her, placed his cane in his belt, swept off his cap, and said, "I might and I might not. I knows lots of goils in the city. Why do ya want to find her?"

"I don't want to find her. She was...kidnapped. She used to live with the Newsies so I thought, that maybe, you'd know her." She stumbled.

"Wait, when was she kidnapped?" Spot said impatiently.

"Oh, three days ago, I came and got her from a party," She said trembling. Spot lit with excitement and grabbed her arm.

"Come with me! Theirs someone who needs to hear this!" and Spot dragged her down the street to the section of town David was looking, desperate.
