Chapter 6

Night came quicker than we all wanted. About tow hours after I gave my orders, David and Les came, and I told them about Sarah, Les was devastated, at the news, and broke down crying, and so did David. They both agreed to the plan, and I told them who they were going with. Kloppman agreed to go live with his kids, in Coney Island, and he put up, a 'Out Of Business' sing up outside that broke all of our hearts. Spot went back to Brooklyn to tell his second in command, Trick-Shot, to take care of his boys, and that he was in charge till he got back, and as he walked away a tear slipped out of his eye.

I looked at the group of boys in front of me. "Ok boys, say goodbye, for this is the last time we might see each other for a while." I told them. They didn't have to be told twice for Blink immediately ran over to Alicia and kissed her for the longest time, and told her bye. It broke my heart, to see all my friends leave each other. I turned to Spot and gave him a huge hug. "I just got you back." he said crying. "And I'll come back, I always will." I told him. "I have something to tell you." I said. "Anything." he whispered. "I'm pregnant." I said looking down. But his reaction was totally the oppisit of what I expected, he picked me up, spun me around and kissed me for the last time. "When this is all over, we can be a family." I told him. 

Klopman walked into the room with a sad look on his face. "It's time." he said looking at all of us. I nodded. "Bye Spot." I told him a tear slipping down my face. "Goodbye, my Luan." he said. He gave me one last kiss, before walking over to David, who was crying as he said goodbye to Les. I walked over to Race and gave him a huge hug. "What if I never see youse again?" Race asked me. "You tell me. No matter what happens, if one of us dies, mom and dad will be there for us. They would be proud of us." I told my big brother. "Promise me that you'll come back alive, that you won't leave Conlon and I to weap everyday, promise that you'll be safe." Race pleaded. "I promise. I love you so much, goodbye Anthony." I said. kissing his cheek. "Bye, Hope." he said repeating my actions. 

"Boys listen to me. No matter what happens, we will always be a family, and we have family watching over us. The best thing we can do now is have hope. We've come too far to turn back now. We'll always be Newsies at heart. We've Carried The Banner far to long now. It's time to let The Wrold Know what we can do. Watch What Happens if we have hope, and in the end we'll be together Once And For All." I said. I put my hand in the middle, and every one copied my actions. "On three, we say Newsies forever, 1, 2, 3! NEWSIES FOREVER!" we shouted. 

Every one said their final goodbyes, to each other and Klopman, and one by one the groups all slipped off into the darkness towards their designated areas. Jack, Les, and I were the last ones to leave. As I watched Spot, and Race disappear into the darkness a tear slipped out of my eye, and that night for the first time since our parents died, I prayed. I prayed that I would see everyone again soon, that nobody would get hurt, and that when everything was over, Spot, Race, our baby and I could finally be a family. I took one last look over my shoulder to see Kloppamn locking the doors, and walking away from our home.
