"Thorns is Gonna be Rescued"
David, Spot, and Bumlets were in the men's dressing room of Magnities. Spot stood in the middle of the mirrors checking out his striking figure. The poor but powerful Newsboy had transformed into a rich and powerful young man. Bumlets joined Spot, equally transformed.
"Hey, ya look like a penguin!" Bumlets laughed out loud.
"Ya, don't look so good yourself Bum, get that hair out of your eyes. Ya got to look sopfisticated, like me," Spot replied dignified.
"How am I supposed to do that?" Bumlets replied exasperated, "Go see a barber and pay him in the billions of imaginary money linin' me pockets????"
David emerged from his dressing room with two black top hats, "Here try this." Passing one hat to Bumlets and offering the other to Spot. "You too Spot, somehow I don't think a cabbie hat will 'blend in'."
"Alright, better?" Bumlets asked anxiously adjusting the hat.
"Yeah, okay so we're meeting Jimmy in the furniture department," David began.
"Calm down Mouth, we know. Ya remember… we were there when the plan was made." Spot said.
"Don't worry Dave. I ain't going home without Angel," Bumlets said determinedly.
"Neither am I," Spot added, "Smile Dave. Thorns is gonna be rescued. Tonight! So let's get going before you burst a gasket."
David's face was set into immovable stone. Hearst was going to pay, and he was going to see to it. The boys made their way to the sofas. An already nervous Jimmy was waiting.
"Are you screwy?!" He exclaimed in a hissing whisper. The boys looked at each other in wonder. Jimmy rolled his eyes and hissed, "Your tags! The sales tags on your suits, you got to hide 'em."
Bumlets turned white with horror. David was red with embarrassment. Spot was ashamed, or as ashamed as he ever got. Their big plan would have crumbled within minutes. Quickly all three tucked the tell-tale signs of their pretense out of sight. Jimmy doubled checked for any other tags and then silently signaled for them to follow him. Behind the large display of oriental rugs, Jimmy swung out a rack of brooms to reveal a non-assuming door.
"This is the service entrance. You go straight then take the stairs to the right two flights up. That will take you to the girls' reception level. I'll be waiting here to let you out of the back of the store. Good luck. Tell Rose hi for me." Jimmy told them once they had entered into the doorway.
"Thanks," David said simply, "I'm sure Rose will thank you too."
And the boys were off to rescue Thorns, Angel, Rose, or whoever she was at that moment.
