4EVER [R.HIGGINS]

Thirteen

The next morning was pretty normal, i woke up to jack yelling at everybody to go carrying the banner. "Hey Albert, Elmer, Liliah, you heard jack. Get a move on." Race yelled. "I was having the most beautiful dream." Albert said walking up to me and Race. "Ooo a pretty girl." Race said. "A leg of lamb." Albert said. "Hey that's my cigar!" Race said, i went to got fix my hair in the bathroom mirror. "You'll steal anudder" Albert said. "Hey look it's bath time at the zoo." I said hitting them in the arm. "I thought that I'd surprise my mother." Henry said. "If you can find her." Albert said. "Who asked you?" We all yelled walking down the stairs.

"Papes ain't movin like they used to, i think i need a new sellin spot. Got any ideas?" Albert asked. "From bottle alley to the harbor, there's easy pickin's guaranteed." Race suggested. "Try any banker, bum, or barber. They almost all knows how ta read." Finch said.

"Its a crooked game we're playin one will never lose, long as suckers don't mind payin, just ta get bad news." I said. We all sang the same tune we always sing every morning whenever we where heading to the place where they sell the papes.

"Well hello, hello, beautiful." Romeo said stopping a lady and someone else. "Woah step aside, Romeo nothin concerns you here." Jack said pushing Romeo aside. "Mornin miss, may I interest you in the latest news?" Jack flirted, I swear they all get dumber and dumber everyday. "The paper isn't out yet." She said. "Well i would be delighted to deliver it to you personally." Jack said as the man next to her almost destroyed jack. "Here's a headline for you, cheeky boy gets nothing for his troubles." The girl said, Everyone 'oooo-ed' or laughed. "Back to the beach slugger" i said hitting him in the arm. "I'm crushed!" Jack said jokingly.

"Hey Crutchie whats the leg say, gonna rain?" Finch asks. "Uhh no rain, ho-oh. Partly cloudy clear by evening." He says shaking his hurt leg. "They outta bottle this guy!" Finch says. "And the limp sells 50 papes a week all by itself." Race says walking towards me and Albert. "I dont need the limp to sell papes, i got porsonslity!" Crutchie says smiling.

"Here comes the headline!" Finch says. "Hope its realll bloody wit a nice clear pictua!" Specs says as We all agree.
Trolley strike enters 3rd week
"Ugh trolley strike, Not again." Someone says. "Three weeks of the same story." Race complains. "Their killin us wit that snoozer" i said as everyone agreed

"Hey make way, step aside." I heard Oscar say. "Oh dear me, what is that unpleasant aroma?" Race asked waving (though a window.) (sorry) his hand over his nose. "I fear the swears may have backed up during the night." I say adding on to races sentence.

"Or could it be..." Crutchie said. "The Delancey broddas" we all said as the open the gate. "Hey Oscar, word on the street says you and your brother took money to beat up strikin trolly workas." Finch said to Oscar. "So? It honest work." Oscar said. "By Crackin the heads of defenseless workas?" Albert asks. "I take care of the guy who takes care of me." Oscar said.

"Hey, ain't your fatha one of the strikers?" Race asked getting close to him. "I guess he didn't take care of me." Oscar said as he pushed race, good thing i held race back or else there would be a full fight. "You want some of this too? Ya lousy crip." Morris said pushing Crutchie down, oh they finna die now. "Hey! Thats not nice Morris." Jack said taking Crutchies crutch out of Morris hands.

"Five ta one jack skunks him!" Race said as everyone agreed. "One unfortunate day you might find a bum gam of your own. How would you like us pickin on you?" Jack said. "Hey, hey maybe we should find out." I said taking the Crutch out of jacks hands and hitting both out their legs with it. "Wait till i get my hands on you!" Oscar said. "Your gonna Hafta catch me foist!" I said but Race held me back. "Good job." He whispered in my ear, I turned around and hit him.

"PAPES FOR THE NEWSIE, LINE UP!"  We heard Weasel yell. "Morning Weasel! Ya miss me?" Jack said. "The names Wiesel." He said. "Ain't that what I said?" Jack said Turing around to see us all agreeing. "I'll take the usual." Jack said putting his money down. "100 papes for the wise guy." Weasel said as Oscar threw jack his papes.

"Mornin Weasel. How ya doin today? Good? I'll take 50 papes." I said looking through the pape. "50 papes for pigtails ova here. NEXT!" Weasel said snatching the pape out of my hand. I went over to where Oscar gave us the papes. "Could ya get any slower?" I asked him as he lunged forward trying to scare me. "Thanks." I said sarcastically as he handed me my papes.

"Bad headline today huh sweetheart." I heard Race say as he came up behind me and kissed my cheek. "Jack is right over there! Do you want to get killed?" I sharply whispered."ughh." He groaned.
