Authors note: here is chapter 6 or technically its 5. this chapter might confuse you but it explains alot. especially why there are alot of manhattan newsies in Brooklyn. And sorry to any David Jacob fans but he has officially been murdered before this story. you will hear about that in this chapter when jack has a little flashback. now before i ruin things for you let me begin the story.
I couldn't understand how someone as sweet and caring as Skittery could think of stuff like death. He was young and had his whole life ahead of him.
"So what makes Skittery the way he is? I mean has he always been with you guys here in Brookklyn?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"Naw, he actually used ta be a Manhattan newsie, but when Jacky boy went psycho a bunch of da manhattaners came ta brooklyn ta get away from him." Lucky sighed. Wait Jack went crazy? He didn't seem the type that would lose his temper he seemed more of a smart ass then anything. I continued to stare at Lucky willing him to go on but by the look on his face I knew he wouldn't. "Well," He stated slowly getting up."Spot is waiting for us downstairs we'se about ta go eat." After that he walked out the door and motioned for me to follow him. I really did not want to go eat since I didn't have money but I followed him anyways. We walked for what seemed like hours until we reached a place called Gibbys. As soon as we walked in the door I saw Racetrack and Jack. I ignored Jack and the others and ran straight to Racetrack jumping in his arms basically knocking him over.
"Whoah Patience you'se act loik you'se aint seen me in faheva!"Racetrack exclaimed dramatically. I grinned then pulled him over to a table and sat down with him. "So Patience why didn't you'se come back ta hattan. You'se had use worried sick I'se tought dat something had happened ta you'se."
"No Racetrack I would have loved to come back but I couldn't deal with Jack and the way he was." I sighed. "To be honest Jack makes me a little nervous."
"OH so I'se make you'se noivus to?" Jack sneered coming up behind us." Don't worry I'se make a lot of people noivus. Especially me own newsies. dey seem ta prefer brooklyn ova me."
"And would you'se loik ta explain why Tumbler, Skittery, Pie Eater Mush and Bumlets came ta Brooklyn or do you'se want me to?" Spot asked smirking.
"It ain't no ones business what happened. da past is da past so why don't you'se leave it dat way." Jack yelled jumping up and turning towards spot threatneingly.
"I'se aint Davey Jack. I ain't afraid of you'se." Spot glared then raised his cane towards Jack. "you'se might be my friend but if you'se eva get in me face again I'se will kill you'se. It ain't loik you'se got a heart ta feel anyways."
"Damnit Spot, I told everyone I was sorry before. My dreams of going to Santa Fe were crushed when I'se didn't have enough money foah da train. And Davey had to go and run his big mouth!" Jack yelled.
"Yeah but he didn't desoive ta die dat way. No one desoives ta get der head smashed in. Jack. No one desoives dat kind of slow painful death." Lucky exclaimed cutting in. "Now do you'self a favah and get outta here befoah you'se end up getting hoit or something."
I watched as Jack basically stomped out of the restaurant looking back but not saying anything.
"Well I'se tink dat we should all eat." Spot declared then sat down to order his food. I sat back as everyone ordered and tried to stay quiet. It didn't last long cause Lucky walked up to me and looked at me questioningly.
"Why'se ain't you'se eating?" HE questioned, and before I had a chance to explain my money situation he put a menu infront of me. "I'se don't care what you'se want you'se food is on me so choose and eat." He said then sat down and waited for me to order. I choose the roast beef sandwich and a coke.
As soon as everyone was done eating we all went down to the docks. I followed everyone even though I really didn't want to be there. All of a sudden the boys started stripping out of their clothes until they were just in underwear and jumping in the water. I went and sta on the edge of the dock trying to hide my embarrassment. I slowly began to relax when I realized that none of them were going to bug me. Next thing I knew I was in the water and there was laughter behind me.
Authors note: Well there you have it. but don't worry its not over yet. and as for who pushed her in the water you are going to be surprised. lets see if you can guess who first
