Race left the spare room, leaving Ike, Albert, and Finch. How were racing (no pun intended). Why won't Ike just tell? Do Albert and Finch know who it was? Why wouldn't Hotshot want anybody to hear it? Race was very confused, he needed answers, but the question is, where does he get them?
Race climbed onto the fire escape and sat down on one of the steps. He stared out into the sunset. He could see the Brooklyn Bridge from where he was sitting. Every time he see's the Brooklyn Bridge he thinks of Spot. He think's of how they talked on that Bridge. He thought about how they wished apon a shooting star on that Bridge. He thought about how the nights that he spent with Spot on that bridge, is when he knew for sure that he was in love with The King Of Brooklyn, Leader of the Brookyln Newsie's, Spot Conlon.
All Race could think about was Spot. Race longed to see him. Even though it was just last night when they saw each other, it felt like an eternity to Race. "I'm here without you Spot." Race whispered.
"A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face"
"I'm here without you, baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you, baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you, baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight, it's only you and me, yeah"
"The miles just keep rolling
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go
Oh yeah, yeah"
"I'm here without you, baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you, baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you, baby
But you're still with me in my dreams"
"Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard, but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls
When it's all said and done
It gets hard, but it won't take away my love
Whoa, oh, oh"
"I'm here without you, baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you, baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you, baby
But you're still with me in my dreams"
As Race finished the song, he stared into the sunset thinking about Spot. He then started thinking about who could have jumped, and who he could ask. Then it hit Race. Spot. If Ace, Hotshot, and a few other boys where there, Race bets that Spot was to. Even though Spot was sick, Race still made up his decision. Race climbed down the fire escape and in the window. He grabbed his jacket and left the lodging house. He was on his way to Brooklyn. To find out who jumped.
Race was indeed correct, Spot was there, just not in the way the Race thinks he was.
Race was on a mission.....
