NEWSIES BROOKLYN TO MANHATEN

CHAPTER 2 JAKES ARRIVAL

JAKES POV

I walk to the Manhattan newsboys lodge as I walks in next to Jack and the other newsies.

We begin to play poker drink beer and smoke cigars as Race was dealing cards he looked at me with a death stare.

Race asks me "Why here in Manhattan why not Harleem or the Bronx just why here"

I respond "Because you think I can afford a train or a trip there I'm broke as shit plus this was the closet area"

Race nods agreeing "Yea trains can be pricey it sucks"

I nod in agreement and take a drink of beer.

it's really tough being the new guy dealing with Mr. Pulitzer after the strike especially.

Crutcthie limps by and steals Races cigar.

Race looks at Cructhie "Hey that's mine Cructhie"

Cructhie responds "It's mine now" he chuckles.

I grab a cigar I stole earlier from a random guy and lit that sucker like the 4th of July

Jack pats my back "Cheese what's the plan for selling"

I reply "If it's ok with Race I will sell with him"

Race looks at me "sounds good Cheese"

I get called Cheese cause of my really blond hair I nod at Race.

I look over at my left I see Mush talking to Kid Blink about a girl he met and to my right Jack talking to David about Sarah aka David's sister and Jacks girlfriend.

Boots walks up "Cheese what happened in Brooklyn when you left"

I reply "Some guys kicked my ass I still feel like shit and they gave me this shiner"

Bryan Denton walks in (Bryan Denton is the reporter that works for the sun and helps the Newsies in the 1992 movie).
