Later that night, after Crutchy accidently gives Snyder information on Jack, Snyder visits the lodging house trying to seek information on Jack.
Ally helps Jack sneak out the back of the lodging house while the other newsies and Kloppman distract Snyder.
"Come on," Ally says, "I think you know where you're going already."
Jack smiles and follows Ally as they make the journey to the Jacobs.
"It's pretty late, and I don't really want to disturb anyone's sleep. I think I'll just crash on the fire escape tonight." Jack says as they're walking.
"The fire escape's pretty small. I think there's only room for one of us to lie down." Ally states.
"You can hop through the window and go snuggle up to Davey, I'm sure he'd love that." Jack jokes and hits Ally's hat off her head.
Ally retrieves her hat and gives Jack a shove back.
"I'm sure Sarah would enjoy your company too. How's about instead of sleeping on the fire escape, you sleep in the bed with her." Ally mocks.
"I can't, I'm a guy, if I do that to her, I'd be a perv. If you do that to Davey, it's considered cute." Jack says.
"You're right. As always." Ally laughs.
They make their way up the fire escape. Climbing it takes a pretty long time as the Jacobs have a high apartment. Finally, they make it to the familiar window.
"''Night Jack." Ally whispers to Jack as he lays down in the fire escape.
"'Night Al, give Davey a good night kiss for me." he laughs and makes kissy lips.
She rolls her eyes and slips in through the window into the room of the Jacob children.
She makes her way over to Davey's bed and looks down to see his peaceful face, fast asleep.
Ever since they left Crutchy in the refuge, Ally has refused to sleep in a bed in a weird way to honor her friend. So, she lays down on the floor and dozes off into a light sleep.
A few hours later though, she wakes up to the sudden feeling of being lifted up off the ground. Immediately, she slaps her "attacker" across the face.
"Ow!" she hears, the voice sounds familiar.
Too familiar.
"Davey?!" she whispers.
"Yea, it's me, what ya do that for?" he asked, holding his throbbing cheek.
"I'm so sorry, it was a reaction, you pick it up when you're a girl who spends her days in the streets." Ally responds.
"Sorry." Davey responds, shrugging his shoulders.
"What were you pickin' me up for anyway?" Ally asks.
"I woke up and saw you on the floor shivering. The floor isn't comfy anyway, why didn't you just climb into bed when you got here? Why are you here anyway?" Davey asks, running his hands up and down her arms to try to warm her up.
"Snyder came into the lodging house looking for Jack. So me and him escaped and decided to come here, seeing as we really had no other safe place to go. Jack's out on the fire escape if you're wondering. No, don't wake him up. He's barely been sleeping these past few weeks. I don't sleep in beds since that night at the refuge. If Crutchy doesn't get one, why should I? And you looked so peaceful sleeping that I didn't want to wake you and ask for a blanket or somethin'. Ally finishes, her shaking finally stopping.
"First of all, would Crutchy want you to sleep on the floor?" Davey asks.
Ally looks down and shakes her head no.
"That's what I thought. You are sleeping in the bed with me for the rest of the night. Secondly, I will always help you. No matter what, you understand, if you need something, anything, you wake me up, and you tell me. Understood?" Davey asked/stated.
Ally nodded her head.
Davey then picks her up bridal style and places her into the bed, him laying down next to her. He brings her into his strong arms, claiming, "This will warm you up faster."
As she drifts off to sleep, surrounded by Davey's warmth, she feels him kiss the top of her head before tucking her head under his chin. They both drift off to sleep.
