Where True Loyalties Lie [Sprace Fanfic]

It's the early spring of 1900, about half a year since the strike. There's peace between the boroughs. That is, until one particularly influential Manhattan newsie gets a little picky about boundaries with Brooklyn.

Racetrack Higgins has often felt divided between Manhattan and Brooklyn, and for more reasons than him originally being from Brooklyn. But when the ever so arrogant Jack Kelly decides to start an argument, which leads to a couple soakings, which in turn leads to a turf war, Race feels the sudden and silent pressure to choose a borough. It's always been hard to tell what Racetrack is thinking, but now he's being even more secretive than before, and the rest of Manhattan is in the dark.

I do not own Newsies or any of the characters except for the few explicitly stated to be mine.
