"Riggs?"She said "Riggs! Wake up Riggs!" Pix started to jump up and down on her bed.

"What!" Riggs yelled. The sudden sound of Rigg's voice startled Pix causing her to fall of the bed.

"Come on Riggs, we's gotta get goin'." Said Pix straitening her self out of the wooden floor.

"What for ?" Riggs asked climbing out of bed.

"Der's a contest outside Riggs, first prize is a one way trip to New York!" Pix said excitedly.

Riggs put on a white shirt and some old faded blue pants. "Why would we's want to go to New York?"

"Because da vacation Riggs, ya know da one you's always talk about......"Pix's voice drifted off as she spoke. Riggs nodded now seeing what Pix was talking about and why she was so jumpy this morning.

"All right Pix, you's get yourself dressed and we'll go down der." Said Riggs sleepily. Pix pushed herself off the floor as rushed back down the hall to her room. She put on a dark green shirt, white high cut pants and her favorite hat Riggs had gotten- rather stolen her for Christmas.

Pix dragged Riggs down the stairs and out in the streets of New Jersey. Riggs Stretched out her arms. "Good mornin' Bridgeton!" She called out. Pix mocked her. She too stretched out her arms. "Good mornin' Bridgeton!" She echoed. Riggs rolled her eyes.

" Now where's dis ting at Pix?" She asked. Pix pointed down the street to a crowd of people standing around a booth. The two raced towards it. They pushed through people to get to the front of the crowed.

"Hey there young ladies, have you come to play the game?" asked a gentleman who was standing on the booth. Pix and Riggs both nodded. He handed Riggs a piece of paper and a pencil.

"Thank you." Said Riggs, doubting he could hear her. Pix jumped all around Riggs.

"What is it Riggs?!" She said. Riggs didn't reply to her and sat on a cart. She pushed her wavy blonde hair out of her face.

"What is it?!" Pix repeated.

"Hold on Pix." Said Riggs studying the piece of paper. On it was a riddle..

IF YOU SAY MY NAME I WOULDN'T EXIST ANYMORE.

Riggs thought for a while running random words though her head.

" Times up!" The gentleman who had given them the paper yelled over the crowd. "Please if you will turn in you riddles!"

"Damn." Said Riggs softly. On the paper she scribbled down SILENCE Riggs folded the paper in half and gave it to the man. Pix and Riggs stood there watching him sort out the right answers from the wrong. He put the right answers in a little spinning ball. The man turned the ball around mixing up the papers.

"Oh gosh, oh gosh." Said Pix as she stared wide eyed at the little ball turning. She tapped Riggs on the shoulder. "Riggs what if we's win da prize?" She said softly.

"Dat would be da day Pix." Said Riggs " But we's nevah win anyting."

" We have a winner!" He shouted holding up the winning riddle. "P&R! Where are you P&R?!" He asked. Riggs and Pix began screaming and jumping around. Riggs calmed down, she stepped towards the man and grabbed the two tickets to New York he held. The two tore down the street back to their little home making a ton of noise. Pix grabbed her suitcase and stuffed clothes in along with her mothers velvet dark green never worn dress. " I's made it ma." She said to the dress.

"Come on Pix le's go! Do you's want us to be late!?" Riggs called from the bottom of the stairs.

"I's comein'!" Said Pix. She raced down the stairs almost tripping. The to headed to the train station.

At the station Riggs sat on her suitcase lighting a cigarette, while Pix played on the track waiting for the train to arrive.

"My name ain' t squirt....." Pix sang.

"No but it could be mud. Does ain' t da words to da song neithah, and get off da track for you's get hit by da train." Said Riggs.

"Ok Rags." Said Pix falling off the track on to her butt.

"My name ain' t Rags, Pix." Said Riggs.

"I's know dat Riggs, I's jus' like callin' ya dat." Said Pix flinging one of her dark red braids back behind her shoulder. Pix walked over to Riggs and pulled the cigarette out of her mouth. She threw it on the ground and stomped on it with her heel.

"Ow! Hey, what's dat for Pix?" Riggs demanded.

"You's know dat smokin' ain' t for ya." Riggs smiled crookedly.

"Eh, You's always lookin' out for me." She said. "Now move back da trains come'n." Pix moved back with Riggs. The train came to a screeching halt. Pix and Riggs picked up their suitcases and stood in line for their turn to board the train. When they had gotten to their car Riggs put their suitcases up top. Then she sat down next to Pix.

" Hey Riggs, ya know on the piece of paper da gentle man had given you's...?" Pix asked not finishing her question.

"Yeah, I's do. Why do you's ask?" Said Riggs. Her eyes were closed and her head was tilted back on the seat, with her hat over her forehead and eyes.

"Well why did ya put P&R, instead of our full names?" Pix asked leaning over to Riggs.

"Cause I's didn't want no one to know our names." Said Riggs.

"Oh" Said Pix settling back in her own seat. She sat up again.

"Riggs..." She said.

"Hmm?" Was all Riggs said.

"How long is it from Bridgeton to Manhattan?" Riggs flipped back her hat and opened her eyes and sat up to face Pix.

"Manhattan?"Said Riggs. "I's thought we's was go'n to Brooklyn!" Pix shook her head.

"Nope, we's go'n to Manhattan. It says heah right on da ticket." Said Pix pulling out her ticket for Riggs to see. Riggs took the ticket from Pix and looked at it strangely.

"See? I's told ya." Said Pix proudly. Riggs rubbed her eye.

"As for your Question Pix....I don't know." Said Riggs. Handing the Ticket back to Pix. For the next few hours Pix stared out the window at the scenery whizzing by them and Riggs slept soundless. Pix stopped staring out the window and turned her head to see a conductor coming towards them. Pix put her hand up as if she were in class, then put it down again.

"Excuse me sir?" She said. The conductor turned to her.

"Yes? What can I do for you miss." He asked. Pix was surprised that he had called her "Miss" never in her life had she been referred to as that.

"How much longer until we's reach Manhattan sir?" Said Pix trying to sound a s polite as possible.

"We have about a half an hour left miss. Is there anything else I can get you?" He added. Pix shook her head.

" No, thank ya- I mean no thank you." Said Pix correcting herself. Pix looked over at Riggs her eyes were still closed, only this time her face wore a funny smile. She tapped her on the shoulder lightly.

"Riggs, da nice man said dat we's gonna be in Manhattan in a half n' hour." said Pix

"I's heard ya talk'n to 'im Pix." Said Riggs with her eyes still shut. Pix sighed happily.

"Jus' think Riggs...two nobody's like us in New York!" She said. Riggs nodded.

"Maze' n ain' t it?" Said Riggs. The train came to not so smooth stop almost making Riggs and Pix fall out of their seats. Pix got up and picked her hat up off the ground. Riggs got their suitcases out and handed Pix's suitcase to her. They stood at the end of a crowd waiting to step on the rich streets of New York. Pix stepped out of the train, followed by Riggs.

"Hello Manhattan!" Pix cried spinning around in circles.

"Sure is pretty." Said Riggs. She looked at Pix spinning around, an annoyed look came across her face. "Pix! Stop dat, people's gonna tink you's crazy." She yelled. Pix stopped spinning at stumbled over to Riggs.

"Now we's got to find some place to stay....." Said Riggs looking around the big city.

"But were Riggs? We's don't know anyone heah." Said Pix. Riggs faced Pix.

"Come on" She said picking up her suitcase and began walking . "Der's got to be some place for us to stay." Pix grabbed her suitcase and hurried after Riggs.

Riggs stopped in front of a wooden door, with Pix behind her. She looked up at the top of the door to a sign that said NEWSBOYS LODGING HOUSE. Pix Set down her suitcase and shook out her arm. It hurt from carrying her suitcase all over Manhattan for ten minutes without stopping.

"What we's do' n heah Riggs?" She asked.

"I tink we's found a place to stay Pix." She answered putting down her suitcase. "I've heard about dis place. Der's are dese real nice kids dat live heah." Riggs knocked on the door. There was no answer. She knocked again. Still no answer. Riggs started getting fed up and she kicked the door. The door opened. Riggs smiled to herself. Now der's service. She thought to herself.

"Der's no reason to be impatient, I's was comein'." Said a young boy with long sandy blonde hair ,brown eyes and a cowboy hat. Riggs shoved Pix forward.

"Play small an innocent goil for us will ya." Riggs whispered to Pix. She nodded.

"We's jus' come from Bridgeton, New Jersey and we's ain' t got no were's to stay. Den we saw your little place and wondered if you's would be so kind as to let us stay for da while. Until we's get our own place."Said Pix making circles in the dirt with her foot. He smiled at the two.

"Really? Heh. Let me introduce myself. I'm Jack Kelly." He spit on his hand and held it out to the two. They looked confused but did it anyway's, they spit on their hands and shook them with his hand.

"I'm Riggs and dis is Pix." Jack nodded .

"Uh....about the stay 'n wit us ting , I's havta check and see what da otahs tink first." Said Jack.

"Ok we'll stay heah a wait til you's come back"Said Pix. Jack shook his head.

"No. You's two come on in. Besides it's get 'n dark out der." Riggs and Pix stepped inside the lodging house. They followed Jack up some stairs. At the top of the stairs there were a bunch of boys gathered around the door. One of them stood up in front of Jack.

"Hey Jacky-boy, what you's got der?" He asked.

"Jus' a couple of goils Spot. Dat's all." Said Jack passing though Spot. Jack opened the door where more boys sat amongst bunks. Jack stepped a side letting Riggs and Pix though. Spot came up behind them shutting the door. Jack fell back against the wall to see if anyone had noticed to strange people standing next to him. No one had. Spot got the idea that Jack wanted people's attention, he opened the door and then slammed it closed again. The boys on the other side of the door were startled by the noise, some had opened the door to see what was going on. On the side that Jack was on, the nosie had stopped and everyone was looking at Jack. Jack cleared his throat.

"All right fella's, we's gonna have two extra people stay 'n wit us for da while. So anyone who objects to dem stay 'n speak up...now." Jack and Spot looked from one boy to the next. No one had opened their mouth.

"I 's can see dat you's all have no problem wit dem. So I's had best no hear no complaints about dem." Said Jack. He turned to Riggs and Pix. Jack walked in to another room with single bed in it.

"Dis will be your room. No one's aloud in it, until you's says so ok?" He said. They nodded. Jack turned to Spot. "By da way dis Spot Conlon."

"Hi." Said Spot. He didn't spit on his hand assuming that they didn't know what it meant.

"Well Spot and I will let you's do whatevah ya like." With that Jack turned away from them and headed out of the room followed by Spot.

"Jacky -boy, I's have a problem wit dem stay 'n wit us" Spot whispered. Jack rolled his eyes.

"Like what Spot?" He asked.

"Well der's too many of us, besides what are dey gonna do when we's sell 'n papes Jack."

"Dey can come wit us Spot. Jus' give em' a chance Spot. You'll see dey ain 't all dat bad." Said Jack leaving Spot to stand there by himself. Pix flopped down on her side of the bed.

"Jesus I's tired ."She said

"Me too." Said Riggs. "But we have to get un-packed fore we's can sleep."

"Ok Rags." Said Pix.

"My name ain 't Rags Pix." Said Riggs.

"I's know dat Riggs." Said Pix. The two un-packed their suitcases, got in to their nightgowns and went to bed.

Riggs woke up to a clatter of noise and yelling. She turned her head to face Pix sitting on a chair brushing her long red summer berry hair.

"Damn, I's though dat I's was wake 'n up to a zillion Pix's run 'n around me. But it's jus' dem crazy boys next door." Said Riggs. Pix laughed at her joke about her. Riggs climbed out of bed she set her stocking feet on the wooden floor. She got dressed in the same pants but a different shirt this time it was red instead of white. Pix too had the same pants on but a grey shirt and her hat on.

"Did ya have any dreams Riggs?" Pix asked. Riggs shook her head.

"Nope, all I's know is dat someone's feet were like ice last night." Pix laughed again. The two wandered in to the boy's room, since that was the only way they could get downstairs. Everyone stared at the two as they walked though the room.

"I's kinda feel out of place heah." Pix whispered to Riggs.

"Der jus' not used to have two beautiful goils like us stay 'n wit dem. Dat's all." Said Riggs. Pix nodded still not sure. At the bottom of the stairs were Spot, Jack and a couple of other boys with them.

"What are we's wait 'n for?" Riggs asked.

"We's wait 'n for da slow pokes you's two had get though to come down heah." Answered one boy. "By da way my names Racetrack. But you's can call me Race." He said. The boy with the crutch in his right arm waved at them with his left, so did the one with the eye patch on his eye.

They waved back to them. After a while of waiting and getting to know almost everyone's name the whole bunch of them left.

When they entered Tippy's no one noticed two extra people with them. They took their regular booths. Riggs and Pix sat down next to Jack on the other side was Spot, Racetrack and Kid blink. In the other booth sat Crutchy, David and Les. On the other side was Mush all by himself. He didn't seem to mind much either.

"So you's two came from Bridgeton, New Jersey?" Spot asked them.

"Yeah...were to you's come from Spot?" Pix asked. Spot straitened up in his seat.

" I's come from Brooklyn." He said proudly. Pix and Riggs looked at each other and laughed. Spot became annoyed, that one would laugh at him, especially someone who barely knew him.

"What's so funny?" He demanded.

"Oh noth 'n." Said Riggs.

"It's jus' how you's spoke like, 'I's come from Brooklyn!'" Pix mocked. Riggs went in to another laughing fit. Jack couldn't help smiling either.

"Also." Said Riggs as she caught her breath. "I's though when we's won our tickets dat it said Brooklyn instead of Manhattan." David who had been listening to their conversation turned around.

" You said than you won the tickets right?" He asked.

"Yeah. We's won our tickets." Said Riggs seriously now.

"Well how' d you win em'?" David asked putting his arm up on the top of the booth.

" Well Pix got me up at da crack of dawn yesterday mornin, she dragged me down the stairs all excited about some contest where da first prize was a one way trip two Manhattan, New York. So Der's dis booth with a bunch of people crowded around it. I's got a piece of paper on it was a riddle."

"What did da riddle say Riggs?" Les asked who was now interested in what they were talking about.

"It said If you's say my name den I's wouldn't exist anymore. So I's randomly put down silence and turned it in. Den dey sorted out de right answers from da wrong and put da right answers in a ball. Den spun it around den picked one out and dat was da winner." Said Riggs. By the time she was finished everyone in their group was around her and staring at her in amazement. Everyone except Spot. Who was angry that two no name girls from Bridgeton , New Jersey were bigger deals than he was.

"So you's winning was all a bunch of luck?" Crutchy asked. Spot sat up before either Riggs or Pix had a chance to answer.

"Yeah it was a bunch of damned luck, so why is you's all acting like dey won da lottery?!" Spot shouted. He looked around realizing he had over reacted. Spot tapped his fingers on the table . "Nevah mind." He said as he sank back in to his seat. Just then the circulation bell rang though out the city. Jack stood up at the sound of the bell.

"Come on guy's le's go." He said. The rest of them got up leaving Pix and Riggs sitting by themselves.

Jack came over to them and knelt down so his eyes were level with theirs.

"You's two are included when I say's....all of us." He said softly. Spot groaned and Les giggled.

Riggs and Pix follow Jack out the door of Tibby's.

They came to a building, all of the boy's crowded around the front waiting for it to open. Riggs and Pix hung back and watched them get stacks of newspapers.

"Golly I's glad we's don't got to carry dos heavy papes." Said Pix. Spot came up to them and handed each some of his papers.

"If you's wanna stay wit us Newsies, den you's gotta wok like one too." Said Spot with a laugh in his voice as he walked off. Pix looked Riggs who was glaring at Spots back.

" I's spoke too soon uh Riggs?" Pix asked. Riggs shook her head.

"No Pix it ain 't your fault." she said still glaring at Spot who was no longer in sight. "Come on le's sell des lousy papes." Pix and Riggs trotted off in the opposite direction of Spot.

"Hey Riggs, Pix!" Someone called. They turned around to see David, Les and Racetrack running towards them. A smile came across Riggs face as they approached them.

"So I sees you's got some papes to sell." Said Racetrack. Pix nodded. Riggs bit her lip wondering if she should tell them how they got their papers and what Spot had said to them. She choose not to.

"Do you know how to sell papers ?" David asked Riggs. "Riggs you there?" Riggs snapped out of her blank stare.

"I'm sorry. What was you say 'n?." Said Riggs.

"I said do you know how to sell papers?" He asked again. Riggs shook her head.

"Well, ya see what the headline say?" Racetrack asked pointing to Pix's paper. Pix looked at her paper. GIRLS BOARDING SCHOOL NEEDS A FIX UP!! The headline read.

".....You's gotta expand da truth. Or make up someth 'n completely different." Racetrack continued. "Heah you's give it a shot." Pix thought for a while.

"Goils boarding school infested wit cockroaches, many goils catch leprosy!! Angry parents threaten ta sue!!" Pix shouted.

"Der ya go!" Said Racetrack clapping his hands. In seconds many people came rushing up to her wanting to buy papers.

"Help!" Said Pix. David grabbed the papers out of Pix's hand, the swarm of people went over to David.

"Well I'll be damned." Said Riggs surprised. "Ya know Pix you's can't catch leprosy from cockroaches."

"I's know dat Riggs......but dey sure don't" Said Pix. Riggs laughed. They put their fists together, wiggled their thumbs ,then pressed them together and kissed their own thumbs. Les smiled up at them. Riggs and Pix sat down next to him.

"What's dat you's do 'n?" He asked in his high pitched childish voice. They both showed him the movements of their secret handshake they had since they were little shortys. David turned around to see Riggs and Pix playing with his little brother.

"You two could be natural babysitters."He said.

"I's ain 't no baby Davey." Said Les crossing his arms over his chest and frowning. David picked up Les.

"Well I'll see you guys back at the lodge." He said as he and Les turned away from them.

"Bye!" Les Called after them. The only one that was with them now was Racetrack.

"So eh what you's say we's got sell some more papes." Racetrack suggested. They agreed. The three of them walked down the sunny streets of Manhattan calling out fake headlines.

When Riggs, Pix and Racetrack came back to the lodging house the rest of them were already there and had been for quiet sometime. Riggs and Pix walked up through the boys rooms followed by Racetrack, the eyes of Crutchy, Spot and Jack followed them as they walked in too their rooms. Pix looked them before she shut the door. Spot sighed.

"Good der gone." He said with relief in his voice.

" Spot what's wit you's? Evah since dem goils come you's been act 'n all weird." Said Mush.

"I's don't know bout you's guys but I tink dat Pix is real pretty."Said Racetrack. Everyone looked at Racetrack. Jack smiled at him. He folded his arms across the back of his head and laid down.

"Yeah, I's tink dat Riggs is real pretty too." said Jack. He rolled on his stomach to face David who had just come up with Les. "Hey Davey do you's tink I's got a chance wit Riggs and Racetrack 's got a chance wit Pix?" He asked. David shrugged.

"I guess so . But they're real good with kids." Said David.

"Yeah! Riggs and Pix are da best!" Les shouted. David laughed at his little brother. Kid blink clutched his hands togther and batted his eyes at them "Oh look at me I's in love wit a couple of goils. I tink I's want to marry dem!" He said in a girly voice. Racetrack threw a pillow at him with his left hand as hard as he could. Spot got off his bed and walked to the door. He press his ear against the door. Then after a few seconds of listening he opened it. Pix stumbled backwards and Riggs looked up from her bed.

" Good night big shots." He said then shut the door. Spot turned to the rest of them "Dey was listen 'n to us, well at least one of dem was." Spot came back and sat down on his bunk. Jack and Racetrack's cheeks turned bright red. Crutchy and David burst out laughing.

On the other side of the door Pix ran over to the bed were Riggs was and jumped in with her.

"Did ya hear dat Riggs?! Two of dem boys like us.!" Pix whispered happily.

"Well I's know dat one of dem sure don't like us." Riggs mumbled . Pix looked at her confused.

"Who Riggs?" She asked.

"Spot." Riggs growled. "He's mad cause we's come and stole all his glory."

"Oh, Riggs do you's tink you's gonna get wit Jack?" She asked.

"I's don't know Pix." Riggs turned on her side facing away from Pix. "It's too damn late to be ask 'n complicated questions like dat, so go to bed Pix."

"Ok." Said Pix closing her eyes.

"Hey Spot what you's do 'n ?" Kid blink asked him.

"Commit 'n suicide Blink." Said Spot still bagging his head. Kid blink laughed at him and walked away. "Ok Spot whatevah you say's" He called back to him. During their time at Tippy's Racetrack and Jack sat next to them and talked to them non- stop. Trying to find out everything about them.

"So how long have you's been friends?" Racetrack asked.

"Since we's were little kids." Said Riggs sipping her drink. Jack looked around to see in any of the other Newsies were giving him and Racetrack funny looks. When he found that no one was looking at them he turned his attention back to Riggs and Pix.

"I's heard you's two sold lots a papes yesterday."Said Jack. Pix nodded.

"Racetrack, David and Les helped us."she said. Spot glanced at David who just smiled and shrugged at him.

"You's tink your ready to sell more?" Spot asked meanly. Riggs slammed down her glass and stared at Spot oddly.

"More?! I's thought you's only do dis once a week." She yelled. Crutchy shook his head.

"Nope, we's gotta sell em' everyday Riggs." Spot look back at Riggs and Pix.

"As I was say 'n , you's two tink your ready to sell more papes?" Spot asked again. Riggs raised on eyebrow at him and sneered.

"You's bet we's are." Said Riggs standing on her booth. Spot stood up in front of her.

"You's make 'n a bet wit me?" Spot challenged.

"You's bet I am!" The two spit on their hands a shook, then sat down again. Jack and Racetrack looked at each other then back at Riggs who smiled to herself proudly.

" What was dat bet you's two made?" Pix asked. Riggs shrugged

"I's have no idea, all I know is I'm gonna win." She said. "Whatevah it is."

" I tink it would be wise to clarify what da bet is before you's do it." Said Racetrack. Riggs turned to Spot and tapped him lightly on the shoulder. He turned around to look at her.

"Hey Spot what was da bet?" She asked. Spot burst out laughing at Riggs question. When he had gathered himself he looked her in the eye, Riggs once again raise her eyebrow.

"Da bet is dat .....is dat... uh..." Spot face turned panicky. He quickly turned to the others for support. Riggs had caught him off guard with that one.:

"How about da bet is dat we's don't got one." Said Riggs patting his head gently with her hand. Spot flailed his arms at her trying to get her off him.

"No." He said gruffly. "I's ain 't gonna call off no bet."

"But how's can there be a bet wit out der actually bein 'n a bet Spot?" She said soothingly.

" Der is one.....jus' let me tink!" Spot shouted.

" Le 's make dis da bet. Whoevah cracks first wins." Said Racetrack.

"Ok" Said Riggs, before Spot could object.

"Well you gotta shake on it." Said David.

"No way!" Spot shouted. "Dis it too confusing!" Spot climbed out of his seat and stomped over to the door.

"Are you forfeiting Spot? Cause if you's are den I win. You's know what dat means don't ya? It mean you's is lose 'n to a giol!" Riggs called after him. Spot looked back at them with anger in his face before slamming the door. Riggs sat back in her seat pleased with herself. Jack stared at the door then turned back to the rest of them. "Eh he'll come back later. It's his fault for make 'n a bet wit you's." Said Jack slugging Riggs in the shoulder softly. Riggs smacked him back in the arm. Hard. Jack cried out in pain.

"Sorry, reflex." said Riggs.

"Dat alright Riggs, I 's had no idea." Said Jack still in pain. They left the restaurant at the sound of the bell. Jack , Racetrack , Pix and Riggs went off to sell papes together. Jack chased Riggs round while Racetrack and Pix along side each other.

"Ya know we're not really sell' n papes." Said Racetrack.

"Sure we's are!" Jack yelled at them.

"Come on Jack we's really need to sell des!" Riggs screamed at him as he tried to catch her. Jack slowed down.

"Alright den if you's say so." he said. Racetrack handed Pix some of his papes.

" Elephants in da circus come down wit rabies!" Pix yawned. Racetrack snickered at her

" What was dat?" Jack asked.

"A very tired someone trying to sell papes." Said Pix.

"Hey, you's guys wanna hear a good story?" Riggs asked. Jack and Racetrack nodded.

"Well I's was going down dis alley......" Riggs started. Pix wandered away from them and sat down on a crate staring at the blue sky tuning out Riggs's dumb story out of her ear shot. After a while of looking around , Riggs booming laughter came to her attention. She turned back to see Riggs backed up against the wall with Jack and Racetrack around her.

".....And when I's was finished wit him, he had two black eyes and a stick shoved down his throat ." Said Riggs. Jack and Racetrack stared at Riggs in aw. They could believe that a girl would or could do that. Th e circulation bell rang loud and clear. They looked at each other realizing they hadn't sold any papes.

"Oh shit....we's haven't sold any papes." Said Riggs. Pix looked over at Jack and Racetracks worried faces.

"Jus' throw em' somewhere we'll come back tommra and sell em'. Dey wouldn't know da difference." Said Jack. The four trudged back to the lodging house. By the time the got back there everyone one was asleep.
