It's been two weeks since the Skittery incident,  and we were all on edge. Alicia and Blink were happy to be back together again after four years, and I moved into the Brooklyn lodging house, but spent most of my time in Manhattan. I had gone back to selling papes, and trust me when I say the Delancy's got even uglier! Like that's even possiable. Weasle had been fired, and the Delancy's were now making the paper. Everything seemed to be going fine, till last night. 

It was about 10:00 when Spot and I made our way to the 'Hattan lodgin' house. We were holding hands, just talking about everything. "Would you ever want a family?" I asked him. He abruptly stopped walking and looked at me. "Sorry, I was just wondering." I said hanging my head. He took his finger and lifted up my chin and looked me in the eyes. "I would love to have a family, but were orphans, how are going to raise it if we live on the streets?" he asked me. I hadn't thought about that. I was about to say something but a blood curling scream rang out through the streets of Manhattan. I looked at Spot and sprinted to where the scream came from. 

As we rounded the corner I saw three of the Summer brothers, attacking Sarah. It was Henry, Alan, and Gilroy. I quickly pulled Spot behind a thing or crates. He looked at me confused and was about to say something but i put my finger over my lips telling him to be quiet. "Now we'll give you one more chance, where is Hope Higgins?" Alan asked. "I- I don't know I haven't seen her since the strike ended." Sarah stamred. A smirk grew on Alan's face. "Wrong answer." he said before plunging his knife deep into her throat. I watched as Les' older sister sank to the ground blood pouring out of her throat. 

"Find someone that's close to Hope and torturer them for information. As far as we know, the only two places she could be is the Brooklyn lodging house, or the Manhattan lodgin house. What are you standing around for? Go, find someone you useless bastared." Alan yelled at his younger brothers. He looked down at Sarah, such a shame, you had such a pretty face." Alan said beofre removing the knife, and walking out of the alley. 

I looked over at Spot, to see his face pale, and his mouth dropped open. I quietly walked out from behind the creats and walked over to Sarah. She was wearing the exact same outfit she was wearing when we won the strike. As I looked at her, I noticed somethings, for one she looked alot older, and second, she looked pregnant. The sight of her dead body made me cry. I looked over and saw an old bed sheet and put that over her body. "Rest In Peace." I whispered as I pulled the sheet over he face. 

Spot helped me off the ground and carried me to the Lodgin house. It was noisy as usual, but when we walked in everything got quiet. Race was the first to notice me, curled up in a ball with blood covering my hands. "What da hell happened?" Race yelled at Spot. "Calm down Race." I told him. "Are Davey, and Les here?" I asked my voice seirous. Everybody shook their head. "I need to tell you all something, and I want to be the ONLY one to tell Les and David, not Snipeshooter, not Boots, not Jack no one, but me, am I understood?" I asked staring everybody down. "Sarah Jacobs is dead." I said. Everybody looked at me for an explination. "On our way over here we heard a blood curling scream so we ran towards the sound and stoped dead in our tracks as we saw who it was. The three men that killed Sarah, are the reason I came back to New York.

"I'm wanted by a local group in Texas, named the Summer brothers. There a group of six brothers, that kill anybody who doesn't give them what they want. There's Mark, he's the oldest and he loves torturering the victums, he the scariest and toughest of all, Alan's the second oldest, and is the most blood thirsty, when he kills you he stabbs you about 27 times and watched your blood pour out of your body, and laughs as you scream, Henry's next, he's the thrid oldest and the weakest. He hates blood, but he does what ever his brothers tell him to do, next is Gilroy, when he was in high school he killd his algabra teacher for having an affiar with a student. He is filled with hatred on people that cheat, and won't hesitate to kill you if he catches you cheating. 

"Darrel's next, he may look like a movie star, but he acts nothing like it. He's the one to rape his victums, he loves watching them stugle to get him off of them, but then if they do manage to break free he wont hesitate to kill you, and laslty we have Jared, he's the youngets, but one of the stongest, many people consider him a witch, beacuse with a simgle glare he can make you feel pain, and he has this blackish, silvery mist that comes out of his hands, and takes away your sences. Many are scared of him the most, I don't know if it's his powers that scare them the most or if it's the fact that he has blood red eyes. 

"Three weeks ago, the Summer brother attacked the house I was living in and killed the only people that cared about me in Texas, when they were gone I ran. The next day Alan came back for his knife that he left in one of his victums and saw my footprints, I have reason to believe that they have followed me, and are here to kill me. They want to know where I am, so there looking in Manhattan and Brooklyn to find me." I told them. "I need you all to go to various places in New York, that not in Manhattan or Brooklyn. You have friends all over New York talk to them and ask them if you can saty with them for a while, until all this is settled. You are going to be split up into groups of three. When I assign you a person you go to them or that group. Got it?" I asked they nodded their heads. "Ok Crutchy, your with Snitch and Jake, Boots, your with Snipeshooter, and Bumlets, Specs, your with Dutchy, and Iety, Mush, you Blink, and Pie- Eater, Snoody, your with Swifty and Alicia. Jack, Les, and I, and Spot, Race and David.

"Ok now when I give you a place write it down." I told them. "Ok Crutchy, you Snitch and Jake are going to The Bronxs, Boots, you Snipeshooter, and Bumlets will go to Queens. Specs, you Dutchy, and Iety will go to Staten Island. Mush, you Blink, and Pie- Eater will  go to Richmond. Snoody, you Swifty and Alicia will go to Woodside. Jack, Les, and I are going to Trenton, and Spot, you Race and David are going to Harlem. Everybody got it? Good." I said. "We leave tonight." I said walking into the bunk room.
