Race's POV
I had made my way back to the Lodging House, careful not to get caught by Snyder or one of the Delancey's. I was relieved that Julia wasn't beat up too bad, heck it looked like she hadn't even had a hand laid on her. It was getting dark, so I started walking faster to the lodging house so the boys don't start to worry too much 'bout me.

I got to the lodging house just as it got really dark outside. As I came in I was swarmed with newsies asking about Ink. "You really saw her?!" Les had asked. Apparently he and Davey were staying till I got back to see if she was ok. "Yeah I did," I responded, "she says she misses all youse, and that she's gonna try ta escape." With that all the boys went silent. They were shocked that she'd try to pull a "Jack Kelly". Most boys who try to escape end up beaten to a pulp... or worse.

~~Time Skip~~

I must have read and reread the letter from Julia about a thousand times. How could I have done this to her? This IS my fault! I was the one who was supposed to make sure she was safe! And on her first day too! I'll be happy if she even looks at me when she gets out...if she gets out.

A/N: Ok so this is a bit short, but I hope you guys like it. And THANK YOU ALL SOOOO MUCH FOR 269 READS!!!! It means so much!! Thank you all!!!
