June Conlon (Newsies) pt3 Final Adventure

Chapter 7: What Comes Next?

Jack was in his "penthouse", looking across Manhattan. He never realised how much he loved it. Some people say he was planning to run away to Santa Fe.  But realising his family is here and it was his home, he would never want to leave it. Though, rethinking it a holiday to Santa Fe wouldn't be bad.

Jack was looking out at the veiw, when he hear someone come up to the rooftop. "So, how did Izzy take the news?"

"How did Katherine?"

"I insist" Jack laughed turning to see the Brooklyn leader. He looked exhausted, probably from walking to Manhattan from Brooklyn. Or if his talk was bad running to Manhattan.

"She...it..was complicated"

---

"What you can't do that! He can't for that! Wait till I get my hands on him!-- What do you mean Harlem is too dangerous!? He can't control people's lives! That's just stupid! Oh and another thing--"

---

"That's Izzy for you" Jack laughed putting his cap down. Lying back against some railing. Spot rolled his eyes. It was a moment before he asked "So what newsies are you choosing for the little mission"

"I'm going to ask them. But I probably won't choose the younger ones. You?" Jack moved his cap a bit, to see Spot.

Spot was in deep thought on who to choose. On one hand he wants to put the strongest from Brooklyn to go. But he also wants them to stay incase something happens there.

"Maybe Strom and Hawk Eye. They work well together. I was going to put Heights up for it, but I need him with me. Also I have Knockout with me so I think I'll be fine"

Jack nodded then asked "So we'll be in Staten Island then?"

"In the morning and at night they'll go" Spot made sure to be quiet on that part. You never know when there would be spies about. "Have you guys seen Harlem around"

"Not us" Jack spoke up "Queens have though. I heard Harlem has also gone to Staten Island, probably trying to get people to join"

"Which they have" Spot sighed sadly. It wasn't a lot only two or three kids. But still, he didn't understand how they could go against the newsies. They were all basically.

"I might just ask my boys tonight, about the little plan " Jack sat up "Better to get it over and done with"

"Yeah" Spot nodded. Jack was going to go down and see the boys, but Spot stopped him. "Have you seen...June? I don't want her wondering around too much. You know what's happening and everything"

Turned and slowly shook his head "No. But if we did we would probably take her a different way back. You know because Venom knows what she looks like"

Spot had let out another sigh. All he wanted is just have a nice couple of months until he leaves. But this turns up! Though another thought process went to his wind. What was he going to do with his life?

"Jack?..This is kinda off topic but...do you know what you're going to do when your not a newsie?"

Jack then made a face, which meant he was thinking. He slowly sat next to Spot again and confessed "I...I actually don't know. Like I always wanted to go to Santa Fe, it was my dream. But now I have Katherine and I met David and Les. And I couldn't leave Crutchie. He's my best friend.......what happens if we're not best friends when we leave!!!?!?!"

"Jack, come on-"

"I'm serious!" Jack freaked out a bit "Crutchie might find some other guy to be his best friend! Someone who's more caring, or artsy, or someone to tie his shoe! That's our thing!"

Jack grabbed onto Spots shirt "It's our inside joke!"

"I get it!" Spot pushed Jack back. Spot laughed a bit at the Manhattan newsie. "You and Crutchie are always going to be best friends. I can't think of a better duo"

"I guess you're right" Jack put his chin on his hand "What happens if I don't know Race or Finch or Romeo in 10 years. I've known them most of my life. Hey, what if Katherine finds a better guy than me? Someone who has money and that posh stuff"

Spot didn't actually know what to say. He couldn't promise Jack he will know everyone in the future. But he wasn't saying he will never see anyone again.

"Well if you keep in contact and that sort of stuff you'll stay together. Ha! Knowing you guys will probably get flats next to each other"

Jack chuckled at that, thinking of that idea. He could persuade Pulitzer if he tried.

"Also if Katherine wanted to date those posh kids, she would've done it by now" Spot then made a face "God. I don't think I've ever said anything that motivating in my life. Especially to you"

"Thanks" Jack just laughed. They both sat in silence until it got a bit dark. They both had big thoughts during that time some from the past, or for the future or even right now! But they could all agree on this.

They didn't know what was coming next.
