Third Person POV

Buttons paces back and forth.

Where is he?

Where is he?

Where is he?

Where is he?

Race had said he would be back after a quick meeting with the Bronx.

Jack hadn't been able to go since he had a meeting with Spot in Brooklyn.

And Jack had taken Blink with him.

We should've sent someone to the Bronx with Race.

We shouldn't have let him go alone.

What if he's hurt?

What if they got him?

What if-

Buttons thoughts were cut off by the door opening.

He looks up at it expectedly.

Jack and Blink walk in without Race, causing Buttons' heart to drop into his stomach.

Jack's mouth was open like he had been going to speak, but when he saw Buttons' expression, he stopped.

Blink looks between the boys in the living room. "Where's Race?" He asks quietly.

Buttons turns and walks into a wall (on purpose).

He smacks his head against the wall.

He's not with them.

What if they got him?

"Shut up..." Buttons whispers to himself, smacking his head against the wall again.

He has to be okay!

Please, please be okay, Racer.

Buttons was grabbed and pulled into someone's arms.

He immediately dug his head into their shirt.

They play with his hair.

Buttons heard Jack, but everything was muffled by his racing mind.

"Boots, Blink, Ike," Jack starts. "Brooklyn." He tells them.

The three boys nod, grabbing blades and running to Brooklyn.

"Henry, Mike, Mush," Jack turns to them. "Queens and maybe Woodside." He tells them.

They nod, also grabbing blades before running off.

Every Manhattan Newsie had some sort of weapon because of the turf war.
