(This is a very short, but very important update. Also, I love getting comments btw.)

Jack, Davey, and Specs walked back to the elevator. They went back down to the lobby and met up with the other boys.
"How are they?" "What happened?" "Are they Ok?" "Specs what happened to you?"
Jack just broke down. "NO! THEY'RE NOT OK. LES DOES NOT LOOK NORMAL. WE COULD CHANGE HIS NAME TO BLINK JR OR CRUTCHIE JR OR BRACE OR STITCHES. AND CRUTCHIE. I NEVER THOUGHT THE DAY THAT I WOULD SEE BOTH HIS LEGS MOVING ON THEIR OWN WOULD BE BECAUSE OF A SEIZURE. WE GOT KICKED OUT BECAUSE THE NURSES NEEDED TO HELP HIM. AND IF IT'S REALLY BOTHERING YOU, SPECS WILL TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM." Jack motioned to Specs. "GO ON SPECS. TELL EVERYONE WHY YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR GLASSES."
"Umm...I got hit with a door and they got knocked off then I stepped on them." Sepecs said awkwardly.
Romeo snickered at this. Jack glared at him. "Oh, are you laughing, Romeo? I'll give you something to laugh about." He said as he stormed over to Romeo, ready to punch him in the jaw. About 5 newsies had grabbed him and were holding him back as Romeo cowarded behind Finch.
"Jack, I think you need some rest. You've been up for 68 hours straight," Davey suggested.
"Fine."
"Ok, well I need to go tell our parents Les's situation. I'll be back at the lodge in a few hours."
"Davey, take a few guys with you. The Delanceys will probably be out looking for trouble."
"Alright."
With that, Buttons, Elmer, and Finch followed Davey out the door. The rest of the guys followed Jack back to the house.
The thunderstorm still hadn't let up.
Jack walked out of the building into the rain followed by the rest of the guys. Well, except one. Specs. Specs still couldn't see a thing. He barely saw the rest of the Newsies leave in time. He quickly jogged behind the last boy who walked out.
As they exited, they ran to take cover as soon as possible. Specs, being nearly blind along with the rain, did not see the rest of the boys run back. He got left in the middle of the street, alone. He tried calling for help.
"Jack? Blink? Crut... oh yeah."
No response.
"JACK?!"
Then Specs felt a warm hand on his shoulder. He turned around in the icey rain to see a flash of brass. Then as soon as it appeared, his knees collapsed and he saw darkness.
