Spot led the newsies to an extra room so he could tell them what he planned on doing. Skittery being the tallest and quickest in the group would run by and grab the girl only after Morris released her. Spot continued telling them the plan until a loud shriek interrupted them. The newsies found themselves running towards Jacks rooms. When they got their they were surprised to see Jack and Oscar tied up with a panting Racetrack and Bumlets standing infront of them.
"Whoah, whoah whoah." Spot began looking back and forth between Racetrack and Jack. "May one of you'se please tell me what in da woild is goin' on?"
"Shoah ting Spot." Racetrack replied." You see Jackie Boy here was tawkin ta Osca' bout da new goil. it jus' di'nt seem right ta us so we confronted him and he tol' us dat it was none of our business and dat dey desoived whateva came der way. He finished shrugging his shoulders.
Spot looked from Jack to Oscar with disgust on his face. HE didnt think Jack would be capable of doing something like this especially after what happened during the strike. "Once a scab always a scab." he spit at jack. Jack did nothing but glare at Spot.
"You'se tink ya scare me Spot. Naw you'se do't cause widout you'se little pupp'ts you'se nothing. If you'se was ta untie me I'se bet I'se can beat you'se." Jack taunted. Spot smirked at Jack he knew that this fight belonged to Racetrack. Race had warned everyone that Jack had not changed yet no one would listen to him.
"Nah." spot said shaking his head. "dis toim I'se tink dat Racetrack will foight you'se."
"What him? Dat kid cant foight ta save his life." Jack laughed. But just as Spot untied Jack Racetrack charged him. They to boys began to wrestle. Jack got off a few good hits before Racetrack was on top of him beating him. Spot didn't pull Racetrack off of Jack til Jack was no longer moving or struggling. After knocking Oscar out they made their way downstairs to where Morris had Kaylie. When they got there they were shocked to see Morris knocked out and tied up and Kaylie sitting with the newsies shaking like a leaf. Spot had no clue how they managed to get Kaylie away from Morris without anyone getting hurt til he saw a pool of blood forming around Morris."What da hell happen'd 'ere?" Spot asked his eyes wide in confusion. He couldn't really believe what he was seeing. Sure the Manhattan newsies were great fighters but normally they were to afraid to do it on their own. They would normally wait for Spot or Jack to give them the go ahead.
"Well you'se see Spot I'se kinda got carried away an' tackl'd Morr's ta da ground an' blink 'ere got Kaylie outta da way befo'e I'se stabb'd 'im." Skittery replied shrugging his shoulders. They all broke out in fits of laughter. Now all they would have to do is figure out what to do with the Delancy brothers and Jack. Since Jack could no longer be the leader then Racetrack would have to take over and find a new second. Spot, Skittery, Kaylie, Racetrack and Jackson were about to leave for Brooklyn when they were suddenly stopped by a piercing scream.
"What the hell was dat?" Kaylie yelled running back towards the steps. By the time they got upstairs they found Jack Kelly panting. He was standing over Bumlets limp form wiping a blade on his already bloody shirt. They looked around and saw Tumbler curled in a ball about a foot away from everyone. Spot looked at Jack shaking his head, he didn't think Jack would sink as low as killing one of his own friends.
"I'se ca't believe you'se Jacky boy. Bumlets? What did he eva do ta you'se. Bumlets always supported you'se. Well you'se know what. I'se puttin' Race in chahge an' you'se bettah leave befah I'se kill ya meself." Spot glared at Jack, but Jack wasn't moving he just stared Spot down.
"You'se tink ya sca'e me, Spot. Well you'se do't, all Dese yea's ya troid `ta be all big and bad but you'se ain't. I'se will leave but you'se ain't hoid da last o' me. I'se will be back and den Kaylie and Jackson will be doomed. I will poirsonally make shoah dat Osc'r and Morr's get der revenge. So Spot let dem enjoy life while dey can but membah make shoah dey always look ova der shouldahs cause you'se nevah know wen I'se gonna be der." Jack stated then walked out the door without another word. Spot knew he shouldn't be worried but he couldn't help it. Jack hardly ever made threats but when he did he always meant what he said. But this time he had said to much and Spot was prepared to have newsies spy on Jack and keep an eye on Jackson and Kaylie. Well mainly Kaylie she was fragile and jumpy and had been through alot. Yeah I know what you are thinking tough boy Spot has got a weak spot for Kaylie. Spot gathered all the Manhattan newsies together and they left for Brooklyn. Kid blink and Mush took turns carrying Bumlets. Racetrack remembered that Bumlets said if anything ever happened to him he wanted his body thrown off the Brooklyn bridge. They carried him all the way to the bridge and were about to throw him off before Kaylie screamed.
"What da hell?" Spot shouted turning to kaylie, she just stood there shaking her head pointing at Bumlets. When the other newsies looked at him they saw his hand move a little bit. Bumlets wasn't dead and they almost made a mistake of actually killing him. "Awright we'se gotta get him to da Brooklyn lodgin' house an' make shoah he's ok."
Kaylie couldn't help be feel nervous around the newsies, she knew she could trust them but she was still nervous. As they made their way back to Brooklyn she began to smile to herself little did she know Spot was watching her.
