Jack had just finished selling all his papes and was ready to go back to the Newsies bunkhouse. After a long day of selling papes all he could think about was resting. He reached the bunkhouse and trudged his way threw the doorstep. Skittery, Crutchy, Mush, Boots, Racetrack, Pie-eater, Hobbles, and a couple other Newsies were there to greet him.
"Hey fella's," Jack wearily said.
"Hey Jack what's wrong?" Crutchy asked.
"Nothin', just a lil' tired," He replied. Jack lied down on his bunk and closed his eyes only to be waken up by a knock at the door. "Come in, come in," Jack said frustrated.
"Hey, Jack-e-boy, you're here," Spot surprised the Newsies.
"Spot! What are ya doin' here?" Jack got up and shook Spot's hand.
"Well you see, we wuz walkin' down 50th street when we come upon this person, jes lying there. Naturally we stopped to see who it was, and it was a girl, a random girl lying in the middle of the street. We asked her a few questions and it toins out she has no idea how she got here. So I was nice enough to show her around, I mean, she's a girl, what wuz I suppose to do just let her starve? Spot questioned. "Anyway I asked her if she knew who you were when she said yes I decided to take her here. I was thinking' ya might no what to do with her."
"Well were is she?" Jack asked.
"Who?"
"The girl, the one you were just talkin' about," Jack replied.
"Oh, ya ya ya, Um… you can come in," Spot told Jaci. Jaci peeked her head around the door frame and gasped then fainted.
"What the heck happened to her?" Spot asked.
"Wow, I've never had a girl faint at my feet," Jack chuckled to himself. "Lets put her on a bunk,"
"Which one?" Asked Skittery.
"It doesn't matter which one," Jack replied laughing, "what wrong with you, ya stupid or something.'"
"Why do ya always ask the dumbest questions, she's fainted, she don't care what bunk she's on," Racetrack said as he slapped Skittery over the head.
"Here, put her over there," Jack said as started to pick up Jaci.
"Over where?" Skittery asked again.
"Over where," Racetrack laughed, "Ya are stupid jes follow Jack, Idiot." Racetrack reached up to slap him again, but to his surprise Skittery grabbed his arm twisted it and flipped Racetrack over his back. Spot, Mush, and Boots, Pie-eater,and Hobblesjoined in the fight.
"Owwww, I think ya broke me arm," Racetrack screamed at the bottom of the pile. A couple other Newsies entered the room and jumped on top of the pile.
"Hey, fellas, fellas, cut it out," Jack tried to calm his Newsies down with no success. Crutchy started hitting people on the head with his crutch which only caused more of a riot. Finally Jack whistled as loud as he could and all the newsies stopped fighting and stood up, Racetrack grabbed the already standing Skittery's arm and tried to pull himself up. Skittery shook his arm and Racetrack screamed as he fell to the ground again.;
"Owwww," Racetrack groaned, "why did you do that?" Everyone laughed till they were on the floor crying.
"Okay fella's, lets get her onto a bunk," Jack said as he once again started to pick Jaci up. This time the newsies cooperated, grabbed Jaci, and placed her gently on a bunk. Spot decided he would leave Jaci with Jack and maybe stop by tomorrow. All the newsies said farewell then went about their usual business.
