Jack POV
It was a normal day for me. I got up way to early made sure the boy's were all up and not getting into fights I made sure the younger one's were all god and that they had enough money to buy papes and that their shoes were tied and on the right feet.

I got to the circulation gate were we all had to deal with the Delancys sh!ty way of treating us. Dumb Oscar and Morris thinking there better than every one else I thought after I grabbed my papes from them.

After a long day of selling It was finally over and I actually finished early. When I walked into the logging house I was meet with a sight I did not want to see. Spot and Race making out. "Seriously you two get a room!" I said to them. Spot then just flipped me off and dragged Race up to the bunk rooms.

"Are they done yet?" I hear Specs ask from the kitchen. "Yea,just I wouldn't go up to the bunk room for at least the next hour or so." Specs laughed at that but then went back to serious in a matter of seconds.

"So Jack you might wanna sit down when I tell and give this to you." I gave him a puzzled look but I sat down on the old torn ratty couch that Mr.Kopolman got for us a long time ago. "Yea Specs what is it?" I asked getting more and more curious as to what it could be by the second. "So you got a letter today from your s-sister"

My eye's went wide I was not expecting to hear from my baby sister ever again. I basically tore the letter from Specs hand. I asked if I could be alone and he went upstairs so I could have some privacy I took a deep breath and started to read the letter.

Dear Francis,
Greetings from the trash hole.
How are you? Im ok, I really missed you yesterday. It was my thirteenth birthday you promised to come back on that day. You said don't worry Livy I'll be back some day near your thirteenth birthday then you climbed threw the window in the middle of night I closed my eyes and dreamed of some wear pretty were they won't ever find me. Cause I'm gone and I'm done.
I can't take one more minute of the way mom treats me. Francis father never went to jail he's been hiding out in an abounded warehouse. He comes to the house in the middle of the night sometimes and he tries and get me to tell you were you went but I don't know for I know your dead. All you told me when you left is that your becoming a newsies anf if I ever need you go to the king of Brooklyn. Wich is how im giving you this letter. I have to go mom home. If this letter reaches you please Francis please come get me I love you Francis you were the big brother ever.
Your friend

Your sister Olivia

After reading my sister's letter I was in tears. The one thing I still didn't understand was how I was getting it two years later. I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard a rapid knock on the door. I went to it and opened it I was not ready for what happened next.

So hope this was good this is the new and hopefully improved chapter. Please let me know what you think.
