Chapter Six

Kathrine felt like a failure as she walked out of the office doors. She couldn't find the one person that she cared for the most. Her face was starting to feel sore and her arms felt like 100 pound weights as she sulked and stumbled to the boardinghouse. She kept telling her self, "I have to find my Jack, I have to find my Jack..." her vision started to blur, but she was walking up the steps. When she looked up and heard, "Oh my god Kat what happened?" It was Davey. He came rushing down the stairs. "Delancy...." everything went black. She felt her self begin to fall, then felt herself be caught and carried.
"Oh my god Kat. What did you get yourself into." Davey said as he carried Kathrine up the stairs. Other boys came out of the room to look at Kathrine's limp body. Davey carried her into Racetrack and Crutchie's room ad lied her down in a bed that sat in the middle of the room. All of the boys rushed over to her bed side and looked at her. Her face had a huge purple bruise on her cheek and her arms had cuts with blood seeping out. Her one shoe heel was broken. Worst of all she looked like she was in great pain.
"Hey, where's everyone?" Crutchie mumbled as he sat up. When his eyes opened and he looked around the room, he saw Kathrine lying in the bad and he began to cry. "This is all my fault he cried."
"No Crutchie is not your fault. It's all of our faults." Davey said as he stared at Kathrine. "No one followed her and no one looked for Jack." Davey's face was filled with rage. He stormed out of the room. Les ran to follow his bigger brother, "Where are you going?" He asked Davey. "To Medda's theatre." Davey replied without pausing to acknowledge his brother. "Stay here."
    Davey was furious at himself for not looking for his best friend, and now his best friend's girlfriend is lying in a bed covered in cuts and bruises. The one girl he's every cared about, hurt.
    After a few minutes, he reached Medda's theater. Only him and Jack had access to the stage door. So, as usual, he went up to Jacks "artist studio". Davey's heart dropped to his stomach when he realized that the studio looked clean,organized, and there was a note on his stool. Davey quickly picked up the note and it read, "To who ever is reading this Snyder is looking for me if I'm gone. The Delancy brothers attacked the Newsboys and I tried to help fend them off. I fell into his trap. Tell Kathrine and the boys that I love them. If this is Davey protect Kathrine, I may be in Brooklyn. Don't look for me. It's too dangerous." Tears welled in Davey's eyes. He already failed his brother. He already failed his friends. He failed every one. Davey was very stubborn. He never listened to anyone. He wouldn't listen to Jack today.
