Disclaimer: I do not own the newsies. I own Guess, Mina, and Tiny.

Corey walked upstairs to talk to her sister. Mina had a dreamy look on her face and didn't notice her sister come in. She had the picture of the strike in or arms and was looking at one of the boys. Corey smiled and sat down on her bed. Laying down Corey thought of Racetrack and how he hadn't changed on bit. He might have been an inch or two taller, but still himself. She was surprised he didn't know who she was.

Mina on the other hand was still looking at the picture. She was smiling at the picture when somebody knocked on the door. It was Jack.

"Hey C," he paused before finishing her name and looked up at her.

"Guess," Corey replied.

"Um, like I know what your name is," Corey gave Jack an annoyed look. "Oh, your name is Guess I get it."

"Yeah and this is my sister Mina," Mina looked up from the paper and smiled at Jack. She then went back to looking at the picture.

"What cha looking at Mina?" He asked and walked up to her. Mina just looked at him then showed him the picture. He smiled while memories of the strike flooded his mind. Corey then came over and saw who she was looking at and laughed to herself. Mina glared at her.

"Mina, you got a crush on that little boy we saw today?" Mina blushed, but didn't do anything. Jack looked up and gave a curious look.

"She doesn't talk so she wouldn't defend herself, and she doesn't lie," Jack just nodded his head.

"So Jack, who all knows I'm here?" Corey asked curiously.

"Me, Racetrack, Tiny, and I think Skittery and Mush." Corey smiled then gave a serious look.

"Is Blink still here?" Corey asked.

"Yeah he's here," Jack smiled. Corey was relieved at that. She didn't want anything happening to Blink.

"Can you do me a favor and get me Tiny, I just need to see him," Jack nodded and left the room.

Jack went down the hall to the boys' room to find Racetrack. He found him with Tiny in his lap playing poker. Jack laughed then went up to Race.

"Hey Race, you mind if I take Tiny for awhile?" Jack asked. Race just handed him Luke and went back into Corey's room.

"Guess, I got a surprise for you," Jack said as he knocked on the door. Corey opened the door and smiled.

"Luke!" Corey screamed, but not loud enough to reach the boys' room. Blink heard though and was curious to why a girl screamed.

"Mommy!" Luke screamed back and jumped into Corey's arms. Blink saw the girl and Tiny. He was really confused and decided he would talk to Jack about it later. Right now he wanted to get in the game of poker that was going on.

For a 15-month-old boy he knew who his mother was. She had only given him up three months ago. He knew Race was his daddy, but Race didn't know it. Only Jack, Corey, and Mina knew. Mina went over to Luke and tickled him. Corey gave Luke to Mina, so she could hug Jack. Jack then went away and said to Racetrack will probably come looking for him in an hour. Corey nodded and hugged her little boy.

"Luke, I missed you so much," the baby just smiled at her. He knew his mama was home. Corey played with the baby and he fell asleep. She decided she would bring him back to his father before Racetrack came looking for him. Corey went in there and gave the baby to Jack who tucked the boy in. She then went back into her room and fell asleep.

Flashback,

A young fourteen-year-old girl and fifteen-year0old boy were out in Central Park. He was selling the last of his papers and she was watching him. He was using her as a gimmick to sell papers, but usually she sold with him. She had sold of her papers though and was just watching him. The girl was known as Dash then. She was a Queens's newsie at the time. She was a birdie for him she should say, but fell in love with Racetrack. She had lived with the Manhattan newsies, but had become lost in Queens and was made a birdie for them. The only on in Queens, she knew a lot.

They were walking down the street after Racetrack had sold his papers. When they heard a scream. It sounded like a Queens newsie, Trash, who was known for talking trash a lot. They ran and made it to see Bash, Smash, Slash, and Crash beating up Trash. Trash was smaller than them and wasn't quick enough to get away. They hit over the head and he fell. He was dead.

Corey woke up screaming, Mina ran over to her to see if she was okay. Jack and Blink ran in too. They had worried looks on there face and went over to her. She had cold sweat and couldn't get the picture of Trash lying in the alley dead. She shuddered and looked at them.

"I'm fine, you guys can go back to bed," Blink left, but Jack stayed to talk to Corey. As Blink was leaving he was thinking of that scream it was so familiar. It sounded like one he heard when they were younger. He shrugged it off and went back to bed. Race was up trying to get Tiny who had awakened to go back to bed.

Jack looked at Corey and could see fear in her eyes. She looked at him in the eyes.

"I need Race back he would know what to do when I had nightmares." Corey started to get teary eyed.

"What did you see in your dream that would of made you scream?" Jack asked concerned.

"Nothing I don't remember," Corey answered Jack knew she knew what happened, but she wouldn't tell, so just said goodnight and let the girls go back to sleep. Jack was worried for Corey, but went back to sleep. None of the guys, who had woken up, when she screamed got back to bed that night.

The next morning, everybody was groggy, but when they went downstairs Corey and Mina were already there smiling like last night never happened. Everything was fine with them cleaning until Racetrack came home with a shiner, a bloody nose, a cut lip, and no Luke.
