The Newsies' Beach House, Emerald Isle, NC, 12:00 pm
POV: Narrator
Davey had relocated Jake to his own bedroom by picking him up gently and setting him down. He made sure that he was as comfortable as could be. Suddenly, Jake began to move a little. He was waking up. His eyes were opening slightly, and when he turned over, he realized he was looking at Davey. Life shot up throughout his entire injured body. "Davey, you're here! Thank you so much-" "Shhhh..." Davey shushed him back down. "Jake, just relax. You're in good hands." "No, I feel better! I feel normal again!" He said enthusiastically. "Well, let me check you for your wounds to see how they're doing first, then we can talk about getting you up," Davey said. He pulled off the comforter slightly so he could see how he was holding up. He was amazed at the results. Davey's treatments for Jake's wounds had worked within a matter of hours. "Oh my god, look! It's like nothing ever happened!" Davey said. "Can you try getting up?" he asked. Jake got up normally and looked painless. "I feel great!" He said. "Well, let's get you dressed, and we can talk about everything after you're done!" Davey said. "Davey, thank you so much. You saved me a few days of misery!" Jake said. "I mean, Kelson saved my life, but-" Jake was going to go on, but out of nowhere, Davey just hugged the life out of Jake. He was a little shocked at first, but he immediately warmed up to it and hugged him back.
"Thanks for that, Dave! I feel even better!" Jake was so happy. He was all cleaned up, he showered, and get dressed. However, they all still needed to find Sarah, and especially Les. They both walked downstairs together. When Kelson saw Jake coming down the stairs, he ran over immediately, both concerned and confused. "Wh-" Kelson said as he came over. "Okay, long story short, I nursed Jake back to health and for some reason he's all better now." Davey explained quietly as to not disturb the conversations the Newsies were having in the Living Room. "Well, do you feel absolutely okay?" Kelson asked Jake. "Yeah, I feel better than I did two days ago!" Jake responded enthusiastically. "Well, Dave! You really are quite the nurse! How's that eye doing?" Kelson asked. "It's better, not 100% though." Davey responded. "Well, I'm so happy you're alive Jake. Now we gotta focus on getting Sarah and Les back." Kelson said, then hugged Jake, thankful for his presence. "Let's go on and take you to have a seat with everyone else. Jack will be happy to know you're okay." Jake was now able to disclose everything that had happened the night before.
It was dark. So dark. Jake, Sarah, and Les constantly kept looking up and down to where the Newsies' Beach House was so they knew where they were going. However, they spot a figure walking towards them in the opposite direction. As they get closer, Jake realizes it's Spot. Spot turns on a flashlight, shining it on all three of them. "What the hell are you doing here? Get away!" Jake shouted, protecting Sarah and Les by standing in front of them. "I'se just doin' what needs to be done." Spot said menacingly. He lunged towards Jake and attempted to punch him, but Jake dodged the blow and instead punched Spot on the side. Unfortunately, Spot did not succumb to the miss quickly, as he was able to regain himself and beat up Jake to the ground. He was in agony. "You're hurting him! Let go of Jakey!" Les yelled. "Spot it! Just stop, Spot!" Sarah screamed, while standing in front of Les to protect him. Then, Spot grabbed a knuckle duster and was about to beat Jake in the face with it, before Sarah put a stop to it. Unfortunately, that didn't last long when someone began to hold her back from doing so. Jake took 5 blows from the knuckle duster. Jake's body was absolutely decimated and destroyed, and he was still conscious, but barely. Sarah was screaming and crying at the sight of his mangled body, when she realized that she was being held back by Mary. "Alright, go and take Sarah and Les away to where they need to be." Two men who used to be Kelson's people were now under the influence of Mary's command, and each pulled Sarah and Les back while Mary and Spot stood in front of Jake's body. "He'll die like this. They'll never find out what happened. Let's take them to the bunker." Mary said. She kicked Jake's body, and he was unconscious.
