The Newsies hated Oscar, Morris, and Wiesel. It was an open secret. But the reason for their cruelty? Unknown. Wiesel claimed it was for money, but he was a liar. Oscar and Morris just shrugged it off. So, Jack devised a plan. Ignoring Davey’s protests, the group snuck into Wiesel’s apartment to uncover the truth. Inside, the air was thick with tension. Oscar was administering medicine to his frail younger brother, James, while Morris helped him sit up. James, sickly and fragile, remained silent, grateful for their care. The Newsies slipped in unnoticed, their eyes wide with anticipation.
