" I thought I told ya ta stay outta Manhatten." I took my time turnin around, I new all to well who it was.
"I love you too" I said to The Delancey brothers. I knew those two scabs from way back.
"I aint in the mood for your sar, sar ,sar..." I guessed Oscar was tryin to say sarcasim so I said it for him.
"Sarcasim, gee Oscar you keep gettin dumber and dumber!" Morris laughed a little and Oscar looked pissed!
" ya shoulda stayed in Syracuse your gonna regret eva' commin ta Manhatten" Oscar said pounden his fist in his hand.
" Oh yea Oscar whose goin ta make me regret it, huh Oscar who" I did a quick look around the alley I was in. Dead end one way and Oscar and Morris the other, this wasnt goin ta be easy but I can handle it.
"Pickin on da liddle fellas agian huh Oscar that aint nice" A guy dressed like a cowboy said commin up behind me.
"Beat it! Its Cowboy!" Morris said as him and Oscar ran outta the alley. If there is one thing I hate bout guys is thee uncontrolable desire to ruin all me fights by 'standin up for me'! So me bein the loud mouth I am decided to do sumethin bout it!
" Who the hell are you?" I said throwen down my papes.
" Oh wait let me rephrase that. Who the hell do you think you are?"
I said pushin him agianst the brick wall.
"Calm down pal I was just tryin ta help ya out" the Cowboy said puttin his hands up for defense.
"She dont need no help Pal"
"She dont need no help PAL!" a girl bout 5'6 with tendal curly near black hair and violet eyes said stepping from behind the Cowboy.
"Carmen!" I said seein an old friend of mine.
" HA Ha As I live and breath I do declare its Dynamite Jackson." She said playfully hitting me with her hat.
"Guilty as charged" I said making a fake bow and hitting her in the stomach with my hat.
"Hey dont jinx yourself! I dont feel like bustin ya outta the Jersey reguge agian." Carmen said adjusting her hat on her head. "Ahh the good old times." I said as I stuffed my hair back in my hat.
"Did I miss sumthin here?" the cowboy said itchin his head.
"Yea Cowboy you missed sumthin alright." Carmen apraoched the cowboy.
"Whoa dont be such a bitch!" The cowboy said tryin to get Carmen ta back off.(It wasnt workin)
"Bitch huh, yep thats me the one and-" Carmen got cut off "Certainly not the only!" I said elbowing her in the stomach.
"Wait your Carmen from Nyack?" The Cowboy asked.
"Yea, so?" I laughed Carmen hasnt changed one bit! The Cowboy over looked Carmens comment and countinued "And your..."
"Dynamite Jackson and your the bum that ruined my fight!" I said crackin my knuckles. Carmen sighed.
"His names um... oh yea Kelly, Jack Kelly also called Cowboy and resident good doer." She made a disgusted face when she said the last two words.
"What are ya doin in Manhatten anyway Dynamite?" Carmen said lighting up a cigerette.
"Its a long story involvin me a detectives wallet and upstate." Crmen scowled at what I said and handed me the cigerette.
"What are we stickin around this dump for anyway I got business in Brooklyn." Carmen said lookin at her watch.
Why you got business in Brooklyn?" Jack said not wanting anyone to get hurt.
"Your still here?!" Carmen sounded annoyed I marveled at her additude it was actually worse then mine maybe thats why we get along so well.
"Well Carm, Why are we goin ta Brooklyn" I said henting that I planned on staying with her.
"We huh? Well its about time you come to your sense Syracuse aint jumpin enuf for our type. Anyhow were goin ta brooklyn cause I gots a problem that needs solvin." Carmen said and started walkin. I left it at that in Carmen own little language that sounded like fightin words and I was up for a fight!
"You comin?" I said to Jack as I followed Carmen outta the alley Jack smiled and ran to catch up with us.~ ~"Hey Jazz! I believe we gots a problem which needs solvin." Carmen yeld at a tall boy with dark brown eyes and blond hair.
"He is Spots right hand man." Jack clued me in.
"ohhh...whose Spot" I said confussed
"Why he's the leader of Brooklyn of course!" Jack said it like I was a moron!
Carmen and that fella Jazz had just started swingin and I was bout to join in, but it happened agian!
"Hey Hey Hey Break it up, Break it up already!" a boy bout 5'7 with light brown hair and piercing blue eyes said.
"Oh great not agian." I said throwin up my hands in the air and resting my head on Jacks chest.
"Knock off Conlon this is between me and Jazz. Not you." Carmen said I turned around when she said Conlon. So this is Spot Conlon, maybe comin ta Brooklyn wont such a bad idea after all. I thought to myself.
"Ya mess wid one of me boys ya mess wid me!" Spot said stickin his chest out with pride.
"This just got interesting" I said ta Carm with a wink.
"And who pray tell is this?" Spot said walkin ova' ta inspect me. Jack put a hand on my shoulder and began.
"Shes Dyna-." I interupted Jack "I can speak for myself Kelly, The names Jackson, Dynamite Jackson." I said adjusting my hat.
"Oh really why may I ask do they call a short little thing like you Dynamite for?" Spot said pulling my hat down ove my eyes. Yea so im short but I hate when people state the obvious. So I took off my hat letting my hair fall to below my shoulders. Spot looked a little taken-a-back but soon regained composure. I looked over my shoulder at Carmen she winked and I winked back she new ecxactly what I was goin ta do. Before I even went back to faceing Conlon my right fist connected with his jaw. Spot stumbled back a bit and reached up to his already swelling jaw.
"Dynamite comes in small packages!" I said crossing my arms across my chest dareing him to fight back.
"Well you've proved why they call you Dynamite but now its my term to show you why im the leader of Brooklyn!" With that he charged at me and took a swing.
"Finally some action!" I said ducking his punch and throwing a left hook into his gut but before we could go any farether Jack and Carm were holding me back while some of Spots boys were holdin him back.
"Oh come on you two cant we solve this some other way?" Jack whined.
"Like HOW?" Spot and I said at the same time. I frowned and shook off Jack and Carmen Spot did the same.
"You any good with a slingshot?" Jack asked handing me one.I saw a bottle on top of a high crate, I took aim and fired hitting it dead on.
"Does that answer your question?" I said a little to smugly.
"I can beat that!" Spot said taking out his slingshot.
"Hey toss up!" Spot yeld out a short leperchuan lookin kid with red hair popped out of nowhere and said "Im on it boss." he throw a bottle high in the air and before I could blink spot shot it down.
"That aint nothin! CArmen heads up!" I said as Carmen put a tin can on top of her head and moved to stand infront of Jazz. I pulled back on the sling as hard as I could and let a rip. The can flew off of Carmens head and hit Jazz smack in the face. "Two birds with one stone." Carmen said puttin her hat back on. Everyone laughed at Jazz's dazzed face. It went on like that for at least another hour I would hit somethin then Spot would hit somethin.
"Are you guys done proven your point yet its gettin late?" Jack said yawnin he was right it was bout 8:00 p.m.
"Yea Guards goin ta lock us out if we dont get back soon." Carmen said I tossed my slingshot ta Spot.
"Hey dont think im gonna let you off that easy, this aint over yet sweetie." Spot said crossing his arms over his chest taking the same positionm I had earlier. I walked over and stood infront of him.
"I wouldnt dream of it SWEETIE." and with that I kissed him dead on the lips after a few seconds we let go I turned on my heels and walk of the docks. Spot now stood there with a look that was very similar to the look Jazz had when he got hit in the face with the can.
"What was that about?" Carmen said to me and Jack said to Spot. "I dont know." Spot and I said 'but I liked it' we both said inwardly.
~Nyack lodgin house~
"Home sweet home." Carmen said as we stood infront of the Nyack lodgin house.
"You said Guardian ran this joint right?" I asked Carmen "Yep Guards the leader."
"Is there a co-leader?" I asked
"Nope" She opened the doors
"Interesting." I said
"Thats what I thought you would say." Carmen smiled
"Bout time ya got here Carmen my clothes are goin outta style!" It was Guardian Frederick you couldnt mistake that voice
"There already outta style Guard." I said with a smile
"Why its Dynamite Jackson long time no se let me think last time I sw you Carmen and I were bustin you outta the Jersey refuge." she said as we spit shook.
"And if I remember right You were too drunk ta help!" we all laughed and Carmen spoke up
"Speakin of old times how bout we had over ta Medda's for a little fun and games?" me and Guard nodded and as we headed out the door I said
"Yea but its all fun and games till somebody loses an eye!"
~Bout two hours later at Medda's place~
Guard and I were on Medda's stage and Carmen was behind the bar passin out drinks.
"EVERBODY THIRSTY!!" I yeld and the crowd roared, Guard yelled "BARTENDER!" and Carmen started passin out drinks as me and Guard sang
"See what the boys in the back room will have and tell them Im having the same! Go see what the boys in the backroom will have and give them the poison they name. And when I die dont spend my money on flowers and my picture in a frame! Just see what the boys in the back room will have and tell them I sighed, and tell them I cried, and tell them I DIED of the same! And when I die dont buy a casket of silver and the candels all ah flamed, Just see what the boys in the back room will have and tell them I sighed, and tell them I cried, and tell them I DIED of the same! And when I die dont pay the preacher for speaking of my glory and my fame! JJUUSSTT see what the boys in the back room will have and tell them I sighed, and tell them I cried and tell them I DIED of the same! YYAAHHOOO! YYIIPPPEE!" everyone cheered and as we finisfed singing I was grabbed by a pair of strong hands off the stage. The same happened to Guard and Carmen was lead from behind the bar to back stage with us.
"Oh shes swacked!" Spot said holdin up fingers infront of my face I just bated them away and said.
"I aint drunk" Carmen grabbed Jacks face
"Did anyone ever tell you how cute you are, you are so cute!"
"Now she is DRUNK!" I said pointin at Carmen
"You three are tighter then Pulitzers grip on his bank roll." Jack said after he got his face free from Carmen's death grip.
"Hey I aint drunk...I was born this way!" Guard said. (If thats not the truth I dont know what is!)
"Come on Jack we gotta get them home." Spot said throwin me over his shoulder. Jack picked up both Guard and Carmen
"Got it." Spot and Jack walk outta Meddas with us flung over there shoulders head for Nyack. Guard, Carmen, and I began to sing agian
"Little Joe, Little Joe, Oh what ever happened to him I dont know, he sure did like his liqure and it would of got his ticker but the sheriff got 'em quicker YYEEEHHHAAA" we countinued singing until we got back to the lodgin house.
"Alright already shut-up." Spot said still carrying me and Jack was still carrying Guard and Carmen. They carried us up to the bunkroom the rest of the girls were sleeping after all it was bout1:00 a.m and we still had to sell tomorrow. Spot layed me down on a near by bed.
"wwwweeee" I said as I flung off my shoes and took off my over shirt now I was wearing a dark blue strappy shiry and my grey baggy pants. Spot pulled the covers opver me. I smiled and leaned up to kiss him but he turned his face and I kissed hm on the check. Being satisfied I layed back down and fell asleep. Spot went over to help Jack out.
"Spot we might as well stay here i mean its so late and all." Jack said finding two blankets.
"Face it Kelly you just wanna stay in a room filled of girls!" Jack smiled and layed down his blanket near the window Spot layed his down next to my bed.
~next mourning~
I woke up the next mourning to the sunshinning the birds cherping and a splitting headache. I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood up. I stepped over a pile of somethin on the floor and headed to the bathroom. I finished takin a shower and headed back to my bunk. I once agian stepped over the pile of something and sat down on my bed It was way too early and I never was much of a mourning person. I looked down to find my shoes but instead I found HIM,
"Heya Sunshine" Spot said as he stood up.
"Oh dear god what have I done?" I said as I stood up.
"Nothin too regretable Dynamite." he said buttoning his shirt.
"What exactly happened last night?" I asked not really wanting to know.
"Dont worry it was nothin really just a kiss on the check." Spot said tieing his shoes. I stood there woundering for a minute why only a kiss happened
"Only a kiss. Thats all, and a kiss on the check at that!Why only a kiss? Why? Was I so unattractive, so distant, so forbidding or something?" Spot looked a little strangly and said "You were extremely attractive and as for distant and forbidding on the contrarey! But you were a little for the worse or should I say better for alchole and there are certain rules about that." He said puttin his hat on.
"You know Conlon it takes alote to suprise me but you've done it. know, well know I dont know what ta think of ya." I said shaking my head but still smiling.
"Yea well dont you think your gettin off that easy we still gots a score ta settle." Spot said smiling and wakin up Cowboy.
"Anytime anyplace." I said
"Keep on your toes shorty."Spot said draggin a half asleep Cowboy from the room.
"Hey I prefer verticly challanged." I said as Spot and Jack left. I sighed and began wakin Carmen and Guard up.
"Dynamite what are you doin here?" Guard asked rubbing her head. "Im your new Damn co-leader!"
The End- for now
Disclaimer: Jack, Spot, and Medda's place all belong to Disney. Carmen and Guardian are real people and belong to themselves and Nyack belongs to Guard. Jazz is my character I made up and Dynamite is me and though my dad likes to think I belong to him I belong to no one except myself! As for the two songs they are from a the movie "Destry Rides Agian" and old black and white movie with Jimmy Stewart. Also you might notice that some lines like the one bout Guards clothes bein outta stlye well thats partly from "The Sandlot" oh and The part when I say its all fun and games till someone loses an eye that is not meant to make fun of kidblink im sorry if anyone takes offense. I hope you liked it!
