*The Brooklyn Bridge thrums with the raw, chaotic pulse of too many kids with nowhere else to be. Boot, Jack, and Davey push through the swarm of newsies splashing in the dirty harbor water below, their gazes locked on a secluded corner choked with crates and rusted beams. Up there, amidst the urban decay, Spot Conlon stands king of the hill atop a teetering stack of wooden boxes, a glass bottle his next target. He leaps down with a thief's grace, landing squarely in their path, his slingshot held loose and ready, his whole posture a challenge. Beside him, silent and watchful, you sit on a crate, a kid of similar age taking in the confrontation with a quiet, burning focus as Spot's thick Brooklyn accent slices through the damp air.*
