Hey guys, I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I hope you like this chapter.
As Jack was walking back home after selling his pape's one day, he noticed a boy. Around his age looking around frantically. Jack walked up to him, "Hey, um. . . you good?"
The boy gave him a look, "Do I look fine?" He asked flabbergasted. He didn't give time for Jack to answer him, "oh, I'm totally fine I just can't find my parents." Sarcasm lacing his voice and he was nearly shouting. Jack took a step back before stammering, "uh...umm...can...do...do you need help? Finding them?" he finally said. The boy nodded." I'll take ya to the boys, they can help." Jack started walking forward. And then stopped, "Oh ya whats ya name?"
"I'm David, what's your name ? If I'm walking with ya I need to know." Jack then looked at David, "Nice to meet ya Davey, I'm. . ." Jack was cut off by a small kid that yelled "COWBOY!" And then tackled Jack.
Davey looks skeptically at Jack, "My names David not Davey and also your names Cowboy?"
Jack just looks at him, "My names Jack. But the boy call me Cowboy for some reason that I don't know." He could see Pickles looking at him from the corner of his eye.
"Some reason." Pickles asked skeptically, "Some reason my ass. Your just to embarrassed to share." Davey gave Pickles a interested look. "He's called Cowboy because ever since I've known him, he's dreamed about going to Santa'Fe."
Davey did realize the amount of boys that have surrounded them when he comments, "You want to go to the capital of New Mexico, really?" All the boys around them started to laugh and Jack's face went red.
"You'se smart." Pickles said while ruffling Davey's hair. "Davey come in for a bit. Medda needs to look at Jack." Jack rolled his eyes and walked through some doors. Davey followed him in. Davey looked around the lodging house and saw rows and rows of bunk beds with one couch.
"Ello Medda, what brings ya around." Jack asked. Medda looked at Jack, "Jack take a seat and lets begin." Her look was serious. Jack slowly walked over to the bunk and sat down. He slowly began to take his shirt off. Medda reach for the bandages around his torso and started unwrapping them.
Davey watch as she unwrapped the Jack wondering what was underneath. He expected didn't know what to expect, but he certainly didn't expect to see deep cuts. and bruises covering him. Medda them told Jack to have Tommyboy help him clean them and they walked into another room. After they left Medda turned to Pickles, "How's he been sleeping? I've noticed he's been coming to the theater some nights."
"He could be better. I'll say that." Pickles said. He then looked around and spotted Davey, "Hey kid why don't you stay the night it's getting late." Davey nodded and then walked over and sat on the couch.
"After a bit Jack joined him on the couch. He sat there drawing while the other boys were running around playing games. "I'm going to bed." he then stood up and walked over to a bed in the corner. "Davey" Davey looked up at him,"You can sleep on this bed." Davey then stood and went to the bed and layed down. Davey turned his head to say something but didn't because he noticed that Jack was asleep. So he desided to go to sleep himself.
Later that night he was woken by someone crying. He sat up and looked around. He saw Jack shifting and crying in his sleep. Jack's started mumbling which got slowly louder and louder. A dark figure walked over to Jacks bed. The figure started shacking him and telling him to wake up, "Jackie wake up... Jack wake up." He shock him harder and said his name louder and finally Jack woke. He slide back breathing hard and wide eyed. "P-Pickles." Jack stared at him. Pickles bent over to get to Jack eye level and Jack pulled him into a big hug.
Davey's mind whirled. From thinking about the cuts and the nightmares. He was wondering what the hell had happen to him. His thought drew him back to sleep. Only for a few hours because that's when he was woken by Tommyboy telling them to wake up. So Davey sat up and looked around. There were boys running all over get things and getting dressed. His eyes landed on Pickles who was tucking Jack in to his bed because he was still asleep. "Pickles, is he okay?"
"Yea, he should be. He's just gonna sleep a bit longer." Pickles walked away making sure all the boy were up and getting ready. Davey stands there for a bit unsure what to do. He desided to to go and sit next to Jack bed. "Hey Davey how are ya?" at the sound of Jacks voice Davey's head snaps up. "I'm good, how about you."
"Could be betta." Jack says. "Wanna go find your family?" Davey then nods and they both get up. "Do know the general area?" Davey nodded again, "I know it when I see it."
"Let's go walk around and see if you recognize any place." Jack then got an idea, "Hey, you'se can be a newsie for a day!" Jack jumped with excitement. "Come on we gotta catch up!" He then grabbed Daveys hand and ran out the door.
