Jack POV
It was a cold winter day and I was walking back to the lodging house after selling when I heard a cry come from the ally next to me. I went inside of it to go check it out when I walked inside I noticed it was the same alleyway were we found Crutchie three days ago. "Hello" I called out into the alleyway. "Please don't hurt me" a weak voice called back. I walked in farther to find a little boy with blonde curly hair and blue eyes. "What's your name kid?" I asked him. "Antonio Higgins" "well Antonio if your going to be a newsie you need a newsie name. Tell me what kind of things do you like to do?" "I like going to the races" "I got it will call you Racetrack Race for short. Hows that sound?" "awesome, how old are you and what's your name?" "Im Jack Kelly and Im eleven years old. You?" "Im only nine you got any siblings?" "yea I got a little sister Olivia same age as you just she's not a newsie I ran away a year ago and I thought it would be to dangerous to bring her with me." "do you regret it?" "every day but enough about me why did you run away?" "they were always criticizing me so I decided I needed to find a family that will love me for me." "Well you came to the right place kid."

Jack brought Race back to the logging house and ever since that night Jack made a promise to him self to always be the big brother Race never had.
