Catty nearly fell off the crate laughing. She quickly recovered and smiled at her.
"Sweetheart...WHO is Jack Kelly? Why, Jack Kelly, or 'Cowboy' as he is known by. Is the leader of the Manhattan Newsies. He runs us guys and girls and keeps us in line...but no one had seen him in a little while. But he came back last I saw him. But he is very nice...and I've actually liked him for a while. He's very cute." She said.

Sweetheart frowned when Catty started laughing. "Sorry. I haven't been here very long. Only a couple of months." then she stopped. "Does Jack Kelly wear a black cowboy hat and has a red bandana tied around his neck?" she asked.

Catty stopped laughing and looked at Sweetheart. She felt bad for laughing at her.
"It's okay. I've been in Manhattan most of my life, and I still wondering about half the people around here." She said with a laugh.
Catty nodded when Sweetheart gave her a description of Jack Kelly. Catty nodded to her.
"Yup...that sounds like Jack to me. It's been a while since I've seen him though." She said.

Sweetheart smiled again. "I saw him earlier as I was walking here." she said.
She then stiffened when she saw the Delanceys nearby. "Why are the Delanceys doing here?" she asked stiffly.

Catty stiffened as well as she saw the Delancey Brothers as well. She knew they worked here, but it was not their usual time to be there, and Catty knew that for sure.
She put her hands on Sweetheart's arm to steady her from getting up or making any other sudden moves. She steadied her own breathing as well.
"Easy does it, Sweetheart. They work here...though this isn't the time that they usually get here. Just relax and don't get up. If we're lucky, they won't come anywhere near us. Those filthy sons-of-bitches." She said the last part in a muttering whisper.

Sweetheart did as Catty told her to do and relaxed only when the Delanceys went inside the Distribution Center. Then, she spotted a head of curly dark brown hair pushing their way through the crowd of Newsies.
"Catty, you said that you wanted to meet my brother, well here he comes." Sweetheart smiled.

Catty sighed in relief as well as the Delancey Brother went inside. She turned to Sweetheart with a smile and a nervous laugh. She couldn't stand running into those guys.
"Oh man...that was so damn close. I really hate those fuckers sometimes." She sighed.
Just then, she followed the other girls gaze towards the boy who was pushing through the suddenly growing crowd of people. Catty's mouth dropped open in shock as she saw the boy.
"God help me, Sweetie. That's your older brother? Damn!" She said.

Shadow walked through the thick crowd of Newsies to get to his baby sister. He saw her by the crates and she wasn't alone. She had a very pretty girl with her. The girl was probably about Jewel's age. A Manhattaner probably.
"Brittani!" Shadow said, scoldingly as he reached his baby sister. "You were supposed to wait for me at your lodging house." he said. Then he turned to Sweetheart's friend and smiled warmly.
"Pardon me, Madame." he said with a charming tone. "I've forgotten my manners." he gently took her hand and kissed her knuckles. He might be a thief but he always treated women with the utmost respect. "Shadow Snow at your service." he said.

Sweetheart looked down in shame. "Sorry, Evan." she said.
She noticed that her brother's gentleman attitude was making Catty melt. "Brother dearest, don't reduce her to a puddle. You're making her melt." she begged.

Catty smiled and laughed as she heard what Sweetheart said about her brother reducing her to a puddle with his charming attitude. He was gorgeous...and taken. Two things Catty usually found in men she encountered.
"Shadow Snow at your service"
Catty reached out to shake the hand of Sweetheart's brother with a smile so wide, she was sure her face would split apart.
"It's nice to meet you, Shadow. I'm Catherine, but you can call me 'Catty'. I'm a Manhattan newsie. Do you work in the Bronx with your sister and your...girlfriend." She asked, putting an emphasis on the word girlfriend.
"Let me ask you a question, Shadow. How much do actually love your girlfriend?" She asked him.

Shadow smiled at Catty's stressing of girlfriend. "Miss Catty, just because I have a girlfriend, doesn't mean that I can't be a gentleman." he said.
Then Shadow smiled. "I love her very much. But, my sister comes first." Shadow ruffled his sister's hair.

Sweetheart rolled her eyes. "Evan, theives aren't usually gentlemen." she pointed out. "And I am NOT a child anymore." she said.
"Shouldn't we get our papers and head back to the Bronx? I only have enough money to buy fifty papers and I would like to eat today." Sweetheart said.

Catty smiled as she watched the exchange of dialogue between Sweetheart and Shadow. *Oh man...these 2 fight more than my brother and I used to.* she thought to herself.
When he heard Shadow say that his sister comes first, she smiled at him
"Well, Evan...that is so beautiful to hear. If I had a family still...I would feel the same way too." She said to him with a smile
Then when she heard Sweetheart mention about thieves not uaually being gentlemen...She cracked up laughing a bit.
"Actually, Sweetie...I've known a lot of nice thieves in my life....and some cute ones at that." She said.
Then she heard Sweetheart mention about getting papes. Catty turned to her, in mock horror. "You only have enough for 50 papes? I'm getting my usual 90 papes. Just hope I can get them all sold before Lunch." She said with a smile

Shadow chuckled at his sister's words. "Brittani, not all thieves are bad." he said.
Then, when Catty became dramatic about her papers, Shadow laughed. "Wow. Gorgeous, smart, and witty. My friend, Jessie, would love you, Miss Catty. He loves girls like you." Shadow said.

Sweetheart rolled her eyes at Catty. "I'm serious. I would very much like to eat today so I need to get my papers and head back to the Bronx. And Shadow, Jewel should be waiting for us at our selling spot." Sweetheart said.
"I'm sorry, but I had a bad selling day yesterday because the teenage boys figured out that I was fourteen and were flirting with me all day so I barely sold ten papers out of my normal sixty." Sweetheart explained to Catty and her brother.
