Race's POV

I ran as fast as I could to find Jack. I checked his usual selling spot, but he must have already finished selling. Figures. I ran to the Lodging House, but no one had seen him after this morning. Then I ran to Medda's theatre.

"Jack! Jack you have to help, it's Ink!" I shout as I run to him.

"Whoa, whoa slow down! What happened?" He looked at me with confusion.

"Ya see, so I was finished selling, so I started to walk to the market to buy some food. And as I'm walking I sees Ink bein' chases by Snyder da Spida. And then she falls and I couldn't get her in time," as I say that last bit tears start to pour down my face.

"Aright, here sit down," Jack motions to a chair which I then sit in, " Sos what you're sayin' is Inks in the Refuge? Why'd you come to me?"

"I thought since you've made it out before, that you could help me get her out," I explain.
We talked for a while and before we knew it, the sun had set.

We made our way back to the lodging house and broke the news to the boys. Jack and I had agreed that they all deserved to know. I couldn't sleep thinking of Julia in the Refuge, all of Jack's stories were terrible and to think that now Julia was there. Why did she have to get dragged into all of this?

A/N: So this chapter may be a little choppy, but it'll get more exciting (I hope). Sorry for the late update, school had been INSANE!!!! 🗞🗞🗞
