The next night was the rally. All of the boroughs were there, except Brooklyn. Come on spot, I thought, he has to come. Without Brooklyn we had nothing.
Just then I heard someone shout "Brooklyn's here!" And with that spot conlon and his boys ran in to cheers. He spotted me on the stage and winked at me, race gave me a questioning glance and I just scowled.
Just then medda came out cheering. "Welcome newsies of new york city. Welcome to my theatre, and your revolution!" We all cheered in responce.
"Lets hear it for spot conlon and Brooklyn!" Davey yelled.
Spot ran out on stage "newsies united!" He yelled
"Where's jack?" Someone called out causing the whole theatre to chant jacks name. I looked around but couldn't see him.
"Newsies of new york. Look at what we've done. We got newsies from every pape, and every neighborhood here tonight. Tonight we are making history!" Davey yelled over the chants.
He continued on with his speech, but everyone seemed to want to know where jack was. Just then, he appeared.
His speech started off inspirational, but quickly turned sour "if we don't work, we don't get paid" he pointed out. What had happened to the jack we all knew? "I have spoken with Pulitzer, and he had given his word. If we disband the union he will not raise prices again for two years!"
We all yelled in responce. Disband the union? We would lose everything we worked so gard to get!
With that, spot pushed jack. He had been bought out by Pulitzer and bretrayed us all.
