Chris's Pov.
We walked around all day peddlin papers with Davey following close behind.

"Extra extra! Nude corpse found on railroad!"

Jack yelled.

"Terrified flight inferno! Thousands of lives at stake!"

I yelled.

"Wait, what page is that on?"

"Page nine- Thank ya Sir"

I replied to Davey as I sold another paper.

"Thousands flee in panic!"

Jack and I yelled in unison. We looked at each other before we burst out laughing.

"Trash fire next to immigration building terrifies seagulls?"

Davey questions in confusion. Les ran up to us and Jack bent down to his level.

"Didja do what I told ya?"

Les took another pape and started fake coughing, though it was quite believable.

"Buy me last pape mista"

Les wheezed. I chuckled smiling.

"It's heartbreaking, go get em"

I said sending him off again.

"My father taught us not to lie"

David sounded annoyed. 

"Yeah and ares taught us not ta starve so we all gots and education"

I snapped glaring at the new boy. 

"Anyways we don't do anything the guys who write it don't do. We's just improving the truth a lil"

Jack added, trying to keep me calm. We ended up around the boxing ring before Les came running back to us.

"I got a quarter! Quick hand me some more papes!"

He yelled. I gave him a few of mine before David bent down to him.

"Wait. You smell like beer"

"Well that's how I made the quarter. The guy bet me a wouldn't drink some"

David looked up at us knowing we were being bad influences. I snickered and so did Jack but I bent down to Les.

"Hey no drinkin on the job, I mean what if someone called the cops on ya?"

I chuckled.

"Is he a friend of yours?"

Davey asked, pointing to a guy who was looking at us. My eyes widened.

"Jack it's Snider!"

"Cheez it, it's the bulls!"

Jack grabbed my hand as we ran all around town being chased by Snider. We ran Davey talking to Les the whole time for some reason, before running into a lodging house and up the stairs.

"Sleeper!"

I yelled as we passed a man passed out on the stairs. We reached the roof and it looked like Jack and I had jumped off a high ledge, but we only jumped to the next roof. I popped back up chuckling. 

"Hurry up!"

I whisper yelled as the two brothers ran to hide just as Snider reached the roof. 

"Sullivan's! Wait till I get you back to the refuge!"

Sullivan? Who was he talking about? We crawled away, luckily unnoticed and ran to a very familiar building. We ran inside before Davey had had enough.
