"So what did Spot say huh Jack?" Kid Blink asked. All the newsies were gathered in the square, waiting for Spot's answer from Jack.
"He was worry bout us bein serious, can ya believe dat?" Jack said.
The guys murmured their approval quietly. But Davey spoke up, "No! What are you guys saying? We are going on strike and we're going to win! We have to seize the day!" Everyone conversed about it and slowly everyone reached the approval, they were going on strike no matter what! Soon the gates opened and some newsies came out, carrying papers ready to sell.
All the striking Newsies walked up to them, and there was a moment of silence...until..."Let's soak 'em for Crutchy!" Jack yelled and threw his fist in the air. The newsies yelled in approval and went for the others. The clan ran back and pounded on a large metal door. The metal door swung open and Racetrack let out a terrified cry, "Cheese it! Cheese it! Jack, its da Cribs!"
Tough, large men came out with clubs, chains and brass knuckles. A large fight occured between Jack and the scabbers, one the Newsies couldn't help him with, since they were getting beat up themselves. Things seemed hopeless until some newsies popped out on the rooftops of the surrounding buildings. Then a skinny, handsome young newsie dropped down the fire escape...with a cane in his hand. It was Spot Conlon! "Neva fear, Brooklyn is here," Spot said cooly.
"It's Brooklyn!" Mush yelled. The scabbers looked up and got distracted from the new newsies that it gave the rest of the guys a chance to throw a few good punches.
Jack looked up from his fighting and threw his fist in the air, "Spot!" he yelled. Spot smiled and grabbed a rope, he slid down and kicked a crib from the back and knocked him down. Jack and Spot spit-shook and started fighting off the rest of the scabbers, until Spot heard a scream, a very familiar scream. Spot looked around and found who it was, it was Slinks. She was surrounded by scabbers and they had her up against a wall, attempting to roam their hands everywhere. Spot felt that he shouldn't help after all that's happened, but something inside him just angered him so much that he felt he needed to teach those guys a lesson. He ran up to them with his cane held high and knocked them all down.
He grabbed Slinks, "Ya aight?" he yelled. Slinks looked up and they shared glances, not long, but long enough to send shivers down their spines. That was until some scabber hit Spot and made Spot go after him. Slinks stood there still trying to comb the hairs on her neck back down. She watched Spot walk over to the gates and throw them open, being followed in by more newsies, "Brooklyn!" he proclaimed loudly and held up his cane high. "Brooklyn!" the incoming newsies yelled and the cribs were soon defeated.
Jack and the newsies stood up on the ledge, arms held high and cheering loudly, Slinks walked up cheering and bumped into Spot and they stopped and stared at each other, but Kid Blink pulled her along for a picture. "Hey guys! Freeze!" a reporter yelled and everyone glanced over and a camera flashed. They were in the papes.
