Footloose flinched when Firecracker dropped her mug, getting more nervous and fidgety by the second. She wished she knew what everybody was talking about. She hardly even knew anything about the strike they supposedly had a year ago as well.

Alley shook her head. She really didn't want to tell at the moment. "Wese got to get them out. How did they look where they okay." Alley looked at a nervouse Footloose. "We had a strike against the world and the Journal. To get them to lower back the price we payed to get papes. Well we won and that kinda pissed off a few people." She suddenly realized something. "Oh god Synder has something to do with this mess not. Oh god." She winced but let the pain pass.

"Sorry, I'se gotta go, Jack has ta know 'fore anything 'appens!" Firecracker stated lightning fast, her words getting jumbled together as she finished her drink and slammed her mug on the counter. "Put it on me tab, Joe!" she ordered before turning to dash towards Manhattan.
"What tab? You don't 'ave a tab!" he called after her.
"Get me one, den!" she yelled right back, sprinting towards her borough.

Footloose felt her stomach churn. They were going to do what?! She gripped at the locket around her neck and bit her lower lip. Hard.

"Danny." She didn't seem very happy with him. She was glad that Firecracker knew and hopefully somemore Bronx newsies knew. There was probably word all over new York so it was a safe bet that someone was busting them out and soon. "I'm fine." She really didn't want to say what was wrong with her.

Footloose quickly was at Alley's other side. She reached up and pressed her cool hand against Alley's forehead, feeling for a fever.
"Alley, what did you do?" she whispered. "You'se gotta see a doctor or somethin'."

Alley smiled at Footloose. "I have seen a doctor." She moaned. She looked both of them in the eyes. "I'm pregnant." That was all she had the strenght to say really. "i need a place safe not the lodgin' house to lay down."

Jackle held tightly to Alley whispering. "i'm so sorry..."He looked up at Footloose. "Just get her there please. standing Alley up hoping that Footloose could help her. He turned and ran out of the Pub. Way to much for one day.

Alley saw him run she knew where he'd go. She looked at Footloose. "Is it far from where i left you when i took you to Central Park." She held her stomach stiffling screams of pain.

Footloose shook her head, "No it ain't. It's jus' down dah road. Here..." she ducked under Alley's arm and forced Alley to put some of her weight on Footloose's tiny body.
She slowly worked her way to the door, "Don' worry, Alley. I'se got ya covered," she said softly, hoping it might calm her friend down. "An' if we don' make it der in time, I'se know how tah deliver a baby."

Alley smiled at her. "Its a few long months for that Footlose i wasn't told but a few days ago. When i finally decided to go to a doctor. and...." Her voice trailed off as she let Footloose lead her out. Her only hope was she wouldn't do what she did in Coney Island with Ramble before she knew.

Footloose shot Alley a playfully stern look, "Alley, shut it. You'se gonna tire yerself out dat way. Now shut it," she smiled and continued down the road. "I'se'll carry ya if ya want me to."
