It was dark out as I headed back to the house. I strolled lazily through the streets, breathing in the cool night air. I haven't gotten many moments alone since joining the newsies. We ate, slept, and sold papers together all day. It was nice to have some time for myself.

As I walked along, i started to become aware of footsteps behind me. It wasn't rare for people to be out at night in new York.

After a moment I realized there wasnt one set of footsteps but two, and they were rapidly approaching.

I turned around quickly to face whoever it was, hoping I was just being paranoid. I almost screamed when I saw them.

"Look what we got here" Morris delancey called out

"A little news boy all alone" Oscar replied.

I tried to run around a corner but it lead into a dead end alley. I was trapped.

"A little boy like you shouldn't be out all alone at night" morris said

"We wouldn't want anything bad to happen, now would we?" Oscar asked, smirking.

I shuddered. Their voices, the faces they made when they knew they were in control. It all brought me back to my time in the refuge.

I set my jaw and tried to speak without my voice shaking "get out of my way boys" I couldnt help it. My voice cracked shook the slightest bit.

A look of recognition came into their eyes. "Hey that voice-"

I tried to run but Oscar grabbed me. I screamed and struggled as morris knocked off my hat.

"A girl! I remember you sweetheart! Did you miss us?"
