Jewel shook the girl's hand. This was rare. To meet a nice girl in Brooklyn...even if they weren't from Brooklyn.
"It's nice to meet ya too, Baby. So wow, you're from Manhattan? Like I said, I heard they are a nice crowd, and I wish I was could join them. But...my place is in the Bronx." she said.
Jewel let out a heavy sigh. She didn't know where telling this story would get her, but she felt she could trust Baby. So, she closed her eyes for a split second, and then opened them again. She inhaled and exhaled a soft breath before beginning.
"Why am I a former Brooks newsie? Well, I used to work for them, but then one night about 2 months ago, I ran off after sellin' my papes, and I headed for the Bronx. I ran into a girl named Lexi over there, and it turns out she was the leader of the Bronx Girls, so I told her my situation, and she offered me a spot at the Bronx Lodging House. Then one day, the worst of it happened. I was right in this very bar when one of the Brooklyn girls and I got into a fist fight. She took me down, and broke my nose and gave me a black eye. It turns out I had said some things about their leader, and the girl I ended up fighting didn't like that very much." Jewel explained to Baby.
Jewel leaned in close to Baby, and sighed "I'm not even really supposed to be here. I was banned from Brooklyn not too long ago. But I figured, I might as well give my old hometown one last visit before I never came back. Then, I go and meet your kind-looking face, and suddenly this trip doesn't seem so worthless anymore." she said.
