    Summary

    David Jacobs was not a particularly impulsive individual. He'd had the same best friend since the third grade (Jack Kelly), been in love with said best friend since freshman year, and was perfectly happy with pining silently until the day he died, so long as things remained the same. Senior year rolled around, and the aforementioned best friend got a girlfriend. New relationships toss David and Jack's relationship into turmoil, and David finds that the consequences of acting before thinking can be unfortunately extreme.

    Summary

    “Dad, I just really need to talk to you. I just need, like… twenty minutes or something. I know I’ve been fucking awful and you’ve got every right to not want me around, I just—I don’t have anyone else. I mean,” he laughed a bit bitterly and sadly, “I’m callin’ you, prob’ly the first person with any right to clock me when you see me.”

    The line clicked, then there was a moment of silence. For a moment, David thought the voicemail system had cut off his rambling.

    “David? Are you still there?”

    Summary

    “I knew it!” Of course it was Davey.

    “God Davey, you sure know how to give a guy a heart attack,” Crutchie held his chest and let out a breath of annoyance disguised as surprise.

    “Sorry. I just-” He sighed, bouncing slightly on his heels, “You lied,” he pointed out.

    Crutchie pinched the bridge of his nose. “And I formally apologize for that Davey, now can I help you with something or would you like to get on to the evening edition.”

    ~~~

    Or, David notices when his friend is struggling, Crutchie learns to accept help.

    Summary

    Spot was in the habit of never owing anyone anything. If he needed something, he made sure to pay for it in full right away. But Racetrack never insisted on collecting a return, so a person's debt to him stretched on forever, giving Race all the power. If there was one thing Spot hated, it was a loss of power. And so he had vowed to never, ever be in the position of owing Racetrack a favor. No matter what.

    Summary

    “Maybe one day.”

    Race hums, “yeah, maybe one day.”

    Because a small part of him does want the Jets to be able to meet the people Race now considers his friends and family. He wants them to meet each other and be able to get along. He wants to be able to grab the Jets by the shoulders and shake them whilst yelling ‘we were wrong about the PRs! If we move on we’ll be better! Look how great all these guys are!’

    That probably wouldn’t work though.

    And then he’d probably get punched in the face for being a traitorous bastard.

    ---

    Racetrack is getting used to the job - but life is getting hard. With the Trolley strike reaching its third week everyone is kinda struggling when it comes to sellin' papes.

    Though shit doesn't really hit the fan till Pulitzer starts to want more money.

    Summary

    The folks said to be careful. Mama thought it was dangerous, having their names tied to political commentary like that. Pop said so long as Davey’s schoolwork didn’t suffer, he was allowed to pick up extra work however he liked.

    Sarah said it wasn’t exactly like Davey had been forced into it, and of course he could bow out if he wanted, but since when did he back down from following Jack Kelly anywhere?

    Les said it made sense—they’d made good partners leading the strike and selling papes, of course they’d partner up in this “political cartoon” thing, too.

    Katherine said it was only a matter of time, that Jack had always been better with pictures than words; that he may have been the face of the strike, but David Jacobs was the Mouth.
