First, fudge. Pulitzer's not the mayor. WHATEVER. Doesn't REALLY matter.

Two. I have been looking at my story and the details SUCK. So, the chapters will come sooner than usual because before posting a chapter, I fix a chapter. OKK? OKK :D (Prologue fixed!)

Chapter 4

Upstairs Pulitzer House

"Are you sure you don't want me doing this?" Davey asked Flo as she wound the rope they had around her waist tight. She looked up at him and nodded, smiling.

"I'll be fine," she replied confidently. "You would have more punishment if you were found than me."

Davey sighed. "But what if you do get caught?"

"Jeez, stop worrying," Flo chuckled. "I'm not gonna get caught." Davey sighed again and gave her one last questioning look, which she winked back at, and he lowered her to her bedroom window. She opened it with ease and climbed inside, giving Davey one last smile. The cord felt lighter in a second, and he knew she took it off.

Flo hurried to her closet, carrying out a suitcase and starting to pack her things quickly and quietly. But, soon enough, as she was closing her suitcase, footsteps thundered up the stairs and the Delanceys were in front of her.

"Well, look who we've got here," Morris sneered. "Miss Pulitzer. Your father was very worried about you."

"I highly doubt it," Flo snapped, not realizing the full meaning. The two Delanceys started laughing and Flo took the chance to look at the window. The rope was still there. Davey doesn't know yet.

"No, not in that way, dearest Florence," Oscar told her. "He was worrying that you could actually bring him down, with you in their presence. The daughter of a mayor has a lot of influence."

"That's good," Florence growled, though a hand of disbelief had slapped her. Her father really didn't care for her.

"That hurt your heart, didn't it, you poor soul," Oscar cooed, coming closer to Flo and starting to wrap his hands around her.

"Get away!" She screamed at him, hoping that Davey could hear it as she pushed Oscar's arms away. He glowered at her and grabbed her arms forcefully, picking her up and throwing her on the bed. Oscar went to lock the window, but saw the rope. He looked at Flo with an amused, sinister smile.

"That's how you got down here?" he asked, but she didn't give an answer. She was too worried about Davey still being up there. Oscar's smile dropped and he grabbed the rope, throwing it up to the roof. He slammed the window shut and put a lock on it, putting the key he locked it with in his pants pocket. "We'll be back when Pulitzer is ready for you," he sang in a high pitch as he and Morris left, locking her door behind them. Flo groaned and punched the bed.

"And I told him not to worry..."

Mr. Pulitzer's Room

Jack and Mr. Pulitzer were arguing for a while as Flo sat back, depressed, watching them. "I offer you freedom and money just to work for me again. To your friends, I won't be so kind. Now, who's your partner again?" Jack didn't answer. "Ah yes, David Jacobs. He has a family, doesn't he, Florence?" Flo looked at him in anger. "I have a bargain for you, my dearest."

"I'm not your dearest," Flo growled.

"If you do not talk to the strike newsies, I will not hurt the Jacobs. Especially your lover, David," he continued, ignoring her comment.

"Don't put one foot in David's direction!" She shouted at him, jumping up from the chair angrily. "He has done nothing to you!"

"Ah, but he has. Now, Jack, Flo, think about it as you are where you're staying." Flo fumed angrily and followed Jack, slamming the door behind her.

World Building

"Yeah, but you never had the guts to put them across yourself, didja, Dave?" Jack sneered and David narrowed his eyebrows angrily.

"I do now." He turned to join the newsies, but turned back to look at Jack.

"What'sa matta? Got a problem?"

"Where's Flo?" he demanded.

"She's at the Pulitzer house," Jack answered. "She made me give you this." He threw an envelope at him and he caught it quickly, ripping it open and looking inside.

"What the hell..." he muttered.

Dear David,

You will never hear from me again. Mr. Pulitzer has banned connection between me and newsie.

Never talk to me if you see me unless I address you.

Use the money enclosed for the strike.

Florence

David looked up at Jack and went to beat him up in anger, but policemen held him back. "Perhaps he wants a suit of his own, hmm?" Weasel suggested.

"Never! Never!" he shouted in anger as he got pushed back into the crowd, and the policemen surrounded Jack to push back the newsies as they shouted insults at Jack.

Next Day: World Building

"Sleep well, Cowboy?" Morris asked when he, Oscar, and Jack were getting their papers to sell.

"Come with us Cowboy. We're gonna go fix you're pal, Davey. Fix him so he can't walk," Oscar encouraged, but Morris shoved him.

"Shut up!" he whispered to him, and Jack started to go after them.

"Ah, ah! One move, Jack, and it's back to the Refuge! Next!" Weasel told Jack. Jack took his papers and left angrily.

Streets

"Where's your little brother, Tootsie? Where's little Davey?" Morris asked Sarah evilly. She tried to go around them, but they started to push her around.

"Leave my sister alone!" Les cried, shoving Oscar away. Morris held Sarah as Oscar shoved Les forcefully into a puddle of mud.

"Hey, leave him alone!" Sarah cried as Oscar then shoved him into a pile of baskets. Sarah pushed Morris away, saying, "You stupid ape," as she punched him. It didn't hurt him and the two brothers caught her in her in the alley.

David walks into the street and sees Les. He runs over and helps him up, saying, "Are you alright?"

"I'm alright, I'm alright!" Les cried. "Help Sarah!"

The two brothers (Les and David) run into the alley.

"Run, Davey!" Sarah cried.

"Yeah, run Davey," Oscar sneered. "We've got the best part of the family right here." Davey pounced on Oscar as Sarah shouted at Morris,

"Let go of me!" Morris pushed her to the ground as Oscar punched David. "Stop!" Sarah screamed at them. "Les! Stop! You're hurting him!"

At that time, Florence was walking around the streets, trying to get the everlasting anger out of her systems. When she heard Sarah's cries, she ran into the alley and gasped, but afterwards immediately fumed more. "You worthless pieces of trash!" She screamed at the Delancey brothers, but everyone froze and looked at her. She stomped up to Oscar and pulled him off David (with a bit of trouble), pushing him against the wall. "Did you know how much I put into that promise?" she demanded. "And you breaking your side of it- No wonder everyone hates the Delancey brothers!" She then slapped him and pushed him to the floor. She then stomped up to Morris, who had brass knuckles on. She grabbed his collar and dragged him to the end of the alley, bringing Oscar with her (the dragging was a bit hard). She pushed them both out and screamed at them, "I see you one more time inside a mile of David Jacobs or his family... you'll regret it!" She took deep breaths to calm herself and then ran back to the Jacobs, looking over Davey worriedly as Jack ran in and helped Sarah. "Are you alright, Davey? Did they injure you badly anywhere? Did-"

"Why would you care?" Davey snapped when he was standing. Flo glowered at him and he backed off a step.

"I only agreed not to talk to you guys because Pulitzer said he would hurt you if I didn't. I should really listen to bargains next time," she said in a low voice to keep from bursting on him as she poked him in the chest. The others were staring at the two, wondering how that would turn out. Davey stood silently for a moment before sighing,

"I can't think of anything else I want to know about." Flo laughed, backing away.

"The smart guy? You don't know what to ask of me?" David then snapped his fingers in remembrance. He took two steps forward to be right in front of Flo.

"I found out," he told her in a low voice.

"And what did you find out, Mr. Smart Guy?" Flo asked with a smile.

"Words can't describe it," he told her before wrapping his hands around her waist and pressing his lips against hers.

"AWW!" Sarah and Les sighed happily as Jack whistled.
