Chapter 2:
The lodging house was filled with all the newsies, young and old playing around. Mush, Blink, Racetrack, and Crutchy were all sitting around the table downstairs.
"Hey, Blink how 'bout I roll ya double or nothin' for your piece of cake?" Race said to his friend sitting across the table from him.
"How 'bout I shove dose dice down your neck?" he came back at him.
"Guys, let us act like civilized people," Crutchy said.
"Ise in love," Mush smiled taking a puff of his cigarette. Blink threw an ice cube from his soda at him.
"OOOO, Dats cold!" Mush exclaimed trying to get the ice cube off of him. Mush grabbed some of Crutchy's sandwich and shoved it in Blink's face.
"Hey, I was eatin' dat!" Crutchy said.
"Not anymore your not!" Mush smiled. Crutchy picked up his soda and moved to dump it on Mush, but Mush stepped aside and it got all over Racetrack.
"HEY!" Racetrack exclaimed.
"Sorry!" Crutchy appologized weakly to Racetrack. Racetrack grabbed Mush's cold soup and poured it all over Crutchy, who licked his lips.
"Good soup, Mush," He said grabbing some salad dressing, "But I think Blink feels left out." Crutchy poured the salad dressing all over Blink.
"Dat's it!" Blink exclaimed, grabbing a tomato and smiling. "Hey, Mush, catch!" Mush turned around, only to have a tomato come whirling at him and splat all over his face. He wiped it off and what he wiped off hit Racetrack.
"Whys everyone throwin food at me?" he asked, grabbing the cake and chucking it at Blink. Blink ducked and it smacked Crutchy who was sipping his soda. The soda spilled all over Mush who was hiding under the table.
"Oops..." Racetrack grinned, turned, and ran right into Jack, just as a hamburger came whirling at him. Racetrack ducked and it smacked Jack in the face. "Dear me, Ise eveah so sorry Jack," Racetrack said.
"Run, youse bettah run," he said. Racetrack smiled weakly, turned, and ran over to the other guys.
"Hey, Jack!" Mush said wiping off the rest of the tomatoes on his face. Jack looked solemnly at the guys.
"Youse guys are a mess." He stated. The four guys smiled weakly and Blink brushed the mess of salad dressing and sandwich off of his face and shoulders.
"Sorry." He muttered. From the back of Jack, Nancy was laughing hysterically at him. Jack wiped the hamburger off his face.
"Ya want some, Nan?" The other boys looked at each other in confusion. Nancy shook her head. "Not really."
"Too bad!" Jack exclaimed as he shoved the hamburger in her face. Jack glanced over at David who was standing in the back round suppressing laughter. "Do you want some Davey?"
"I'm good, thanks." David answered.
"Who's da goil, Jack?" Mush asked, climbing out from under the table.
"It's….Nancy?" Racetrack asked in shock. "I can't believe it! Are me eyes deceiving me? Is dis da same baby goil I held!"
"Yup. Boys, dis is me baby sistah." Jack smiled proudly, and put his arm around her. "Isn't she a beauty, Davey?"
'Ah, damn I'm gonna kill him!' David thought. He simply shot Jack a death glare and Jack laughed.
"Jack, you nevah told us youse had a sistah!" Crutchy said,
"I nevah thought da need to tell ya! Everyone, this is Nancy. And she's going to be stayin with us, won't you, Sis?" Jack asked, his face beaming with pride.
"Of course." Nancy replied.
"Are you sure you guys aren't twins?" Kid Blink asked.
"Maybe you should take off that eye patch!" Mush teased.
"Aye, shut up Mush!" Blink exclaimed.
"Whose going tah show Nancy around?" Jack asked.
"I will show you around my sweet lady." Race sais extending his hand to her and beginning the 'grand tour' of the Newsboys lodging house.
"The rest of you boys clean dat mess up!" Jack instructed. "Davey, you come with me. We gotta talk."
"What did I do?" David asked.
"nothin'. Just come on!" The two boys started down the street. "Now why doan you think me sistah is pretty?" Jack asked.
"I never said that!" David objected.
"Well youse nevah answered me when I asked you."
"Well…I did want to.. I just…couldn't." David said quietly.
"See Davey, I know youse all too well. I knew what youse were thinking and I knew you wouldn't answer me."
"So then why did you ask?" David inquired, turning red quickly.
"because I'm trying to build up your….what's it called again? Uhh…" Jack paused.
"Self confidence?" David suggested.
"Yah. Youse self confidence. So you can be more open." Jack finished.
"I wonder how that tour is going inside…?" David mused.
"Yah, I feel bad for those guys." Jack laughed to himself.
"Why?"
"Cuz he's probably making them go a little crazy." Jack winked at David. David just stared back blankly. "Umm.. yah know…" Jack did two pelvic thrusts. "Crazy."
"oh….." David said, slightly taken aback. Jack smiled and shoved him playfully. "C'mon we bettah got back. I need to go supervise." The two bays ran back to the lodging house in complete silence.
When they arrived, and had started up the stairs, Jack pressed his finger to his lips to signal complete silence from Davey. He peered into the bedroom. Nancy was sitting in the middle of the group of guys.
"Now Nancy that ain't da name for a Newsie." Boots said.
"Yah, you need something creative. Like mine, for example." Mush said. The gang groaned and threw pillows at Mush.
"How 'bout Kitty," Jack said coming upstairs.
"Kitty, I like it," Claire smiled. "Did youse dink dat up yourself?" she laughed.
"Nah, Davey here did," Jack said.
"Well, Thanks Dave, I like it," she smiled.
"Well…I really..." David began, but Jack elbowed him HARD. David winced. "Like that name." he squeaked.
"Me too." She said. David blushed. Jack elbowed him again.
"Why are you doing that?" he whispered to Jack, but he only smiled.
"Now that she's a Newsie like us, what are we gonna do?" Mush asked.
"Hey, I was a newsie back in Brooklyn! I just didn't have a name," she said defensively
"Sorry." Mush said raising his hands in defense. "Youse a Conlon Newsie, then? Not a Manhattan Newsie?"
"I was a Conlon newsie...don't tell him dat dhough," she said, which caused the others to laugh.
"Ok guys, we gots work tomorrow! Everybody to bed!" Jack said, "Hey, Davey, you can stay here tonight." Claire or now Kitty came up to Jack.
"Are you expecting me to sleep in a room full of these horney guys," she whispered in his ear.
"Why not?" He asked her. "I'll be here."
"Yah but..." she said softly
"But ya'd rather sleep in a room without so many guys?" Jack finished.
"Something likes that..." she said quietly.
"Heya Kitty, where you plan on sleepin'?" Racetrack asked.
"There's a plenty of beds to choose from!" Blink laughed.
"Shut up, Blink." The other guys yelled.
"Jack..." she said through clenched teeth
"All right..." Jack said. "Hey guys settle down and leave me sis alone!"
"Aww, Jack, you ruin alls our fun!" Blink said.
"Kitty, listen dere are no odah places to sleep, you can sleep wit me, youse be ok," he said soothingly to his sister.
"Jack, you sleep like a rock!" she said.
"Well, den, Davey will sleep in the bed undaneath youse and if youse get worried and I doan wake up, talk to him……not that it will do much," he playfully teased his friend.
"Hey," David said defensively. The other guys laughed.
"Hey, didn't Ise say go ta bed!" Jack yelled and all the kids jumped into their beds, except Skittery.
"You daon tell me whats ta do!" he said.
"Yah well, Kloppman tells you what ta do, and he put me in charge, so go ta bed!" Skittery trudged away to his bed. Jack took Kitty to his bed. She looked around nervously.
"You'll be fine," Jack reassured her. Jack pulled her up and the minute his head hit the pillow he was out. Blink, who was in the next bunk, purred at her.
"Jack! Jack!" she said trying to wake him up.
"Leave me alone," he mumbled and turned over. Kitty sighed.
"Go to sleep, Blink," David said. Blink moaned and went to sleep. Kitty popped her head over the edge of the bunk to look at David.
"Thanks, Dave," she said.
"No problem," he mumbled.
For a while it was very silent, but then some one began to talk, scream in their sleep. It was, of course, Racetrack who began screaming, "C'mon 100! Youse me lucky numbah! Youse me hot tip! I spent me whole life savins on you so move it!" Obviously he was dreaming about a race. Then he began to scream louder, "C'mon 100! C'mon 100! NO! How dare youse come in last place! NO! ME MONEY!" and with that he began crying.
A few minutes later, Jack began snoring extremely loudly.
"Jack," Kitty whispered. "Jaaack, JACK!" she screamed in his ear, but that only made him snore louder. The scream woke Mush up.
"DON'T TOUCH ME, CRUTCHY!" he yelled. Then he screamed and fell back asleep. Blink began muttering indistinctly in his sleep.
"Dat's it, I'm getting' outta herah," Kitty said to herself and went downstairs. David heard her leave.
"What should I do…..should I follow her? Or should I just stay here?" he thought to himself.
"Go follow me sistta, Davey," Jack mumbled, "Make sure nottin' happens to her."
"Ok, Jack," he said slowly and went downstairs also.
When he came down the stairs, Kitty was sitting at the table.
"Couldn't sleep either, aye?" she said with out looking at him.
"Yah," he said softly. She looked over at him and smiled.
"C'mon and sit down." David walked over to the table and sat down.
"New Yawk s so pretty at night…..if youse not up dere wit dose goons," she laughed.
David chuckled softly.
"Ise used ta go outside at night in Brooklyn all da time," she smiled.
"New York is a very pretty town," he said softly.
"Why are you so quiet?" she said quite bluntly but then realized what she said and covered her mouth. "I'm sorry, Dave."
"I'm not that quiet," he said a little defensively. "You barley even know me."
"C'mon, Dave, everyone makes first impressions on peoples," Kitty said. "Mine was that you weres quiet. Which is such a shame, you seem really nice." There was a small awkward silence.
"So….what was youse first impression of me?" Kitty grinned. David just looked down at the table.
"Its ok, nothing can offend me, be bold, have confidence," she smiled.
"She was just like Jack," He thought.
"Uhhhh….I….thought you were….ummm….very…..pretty," he said nervously.
"See, Ise told you, youse was a sweetie," she said to him. "Well, Ise gonna try ta get some sleep," she said standing up, "Goodnight, Dave." And with that she headed up the stairs but stopped dead in her tracks, from up stairs she heard Blink talking, "No mommy! No! Don't spank me tush!" Kitty and David started to laugh. Kitty blew David a kiss goodnight and went upstairs. David smiled and slowly went upstairs to get some sleep before carrying the banner tomorrow.
