The next day Spot sat on the pier while Siren was back at the lodging house with the boys. He didn't tell anyone but he had sent out one of his birds earlier. He waited while the small Specks came into view. "Der on tha way Spot." Spot nodded and wandered back to the lodging house waiting for the Five Points boys to come, still not sure as to why they agreed to a meeting now.
Spot walked in and was greeted by a kiss from Siren. He smiled and kissed her back. He then announced to his boys, "Alrigh Feist from Five Points is comin ta discuss joinin us agains da Bronx." Sirens eyes widened but she said nothing.
"Spot why?"
"Wese need dem."
She only sat down and continued to stare at the floor. She needed to tell him now.
"Spot deres somtin ise need to tell ya..."
He waved his hand at her, "Siren cant it wait?"
"No, Spot, listen..."
But before she could get more out a red headed boy walked in. His green eyes sparkled, darker then hers. All the boys that came with Feist took off thier hats at the sight of Siren. Feist only looked at her. Spot and everyone else in the room continued to just stare at Feist and Siren. "Siren do youse know him?" Siren ignored Spot. Feist spoke first.
"Well, well, well. Look what we have here."
They glared at eachother. Then Siren broke into a grin and Feist had a smile that matched her own. "Feisty how are youse?"
Feist laughed and swept her into a hug kissing her full on the lips. "Long time no see Siren. Tought you forgot about me."
"No ways."
Spot stared in shock. "How do youse know him? Why did deys take off thier hats ta ya."
Feist exchanged a look with Siren. "Youse havn told 'im?"
"Tol me what Siren?"
Siren had a look of sadness like she was hoping he wouldn't be mad. "Ise tried ta tell youse before, but dey came. Ise da Lady of Five Points."
Spot didn't move. Didn't make a sound. "Were youse gonna tell me dis sooner?"
"Didnt tink it mattahd til Jack said sometin ta me."
He nodded, understanding now what Jack and her were talking about. "Well den ise tink you should be in da room when wese talk."
As happy as she was that he wasn't mad, she shook her head. "I don't run da Five Points anymoh Spot."
Feist then put in his thoughts. "Yes you are. When youse left ise told ya dat ya will always be da secon leadah."
This is when Jack, Blink, Mush, Mouth(David) and Race came in. Race started fanning himself with his hat. "Dis can't be good."
"Nah, wese fine." Spot gave a smile to Siren.
Spot, Flicks, Feist, Siren, Jack, Mouth and a Five Points boy Shiner walked into a adjoining room. They sat at the large table in front of them. Before the meeting started, Feist turned to Siren. "By tha way, beautifull singin at Meddas." She shook her head at him. "Should have known youse find out." He grinned a sloppy grin at her. Spot and Flicks sat on one side, Jack and Mouth were on the next side, Feist and Shiner were next to them, and Siren took her own seat on the remaining side. Spot gave her a questioning look.
"Ise here ta represent both Brooklyn and da Five Points." He nodded. Him and Feist probabally would have gotten into a fight if they made her take one side.
The meeting began. Spot spoke to Feist. "Youse and I both know dat Bronx is gettin to cocky for its own good. Ise hear they been sending boys inta your territory."
Feist nodded. "But I dont wanna risk me boys if its Brooklyns pride that we're fightin for." Spot kept his temper down. Jack and Mouth gave eachother uneasy looks. Jack spoke becaues it was taking all Spots strength to not yell at the Five Points leader.
"It aint dat, otha wise Manhattan wouldn be in dis." Feist looked at Siren.
"Siren. Ise wanna hear wat youse have ta say."
Siren leaned forward on the table and looked Feist in the eye. "Join Brooklyn. Ise aint jus sayin dis cause me boys the leadah or da fact dat I am a Brooklyn newsie now. I've posonally been attacked by Roller." Spot broke in.
"And one of his newsies a few weeks ago." Feist jumped up from the table.
"What? Ise goin ta kill da filthy bastards!" Spot looked Feist in the eye. "Are youse in?"
Siren added, "We'se could get da answahs we're lookin fer." Noone seemed to know what this meant. Except Feist.
"Yeah. Ise in." All the leaders spit shook. Feist then turned to Siren. "Now to anotha important mattah." She looked at him. "Whats did I hear about youse bein wit Spot."
Spot got in front of Feist. "Youse got a problem wit dat?" Feist held his hands up.
"Nah. Jis dat Siren is Brooklyns weak point not ta mention da Lady of Five Points. If shes ya goil, Rollah will go aftah her."
Spot asked him, "What do ya suggest we do?"
Feist sat thier and looked at Siren. "Youse can still be togetha. But wese gotta keep it secret. Spot youse known as da type wit a different goil all da time. You still have ta do dat."
Siren got up to protest, but Feist silenced her. "Wait. We could get goil dats just fer show, all you have ta do is kiss her in public. Siren, youse can handle him kissin someone else, cant ya?"
Siren didn't look to happy but agreed. "Well who are wese gettin fer dis."
Jack spoke up. "We need her ta be someone who always wanted Spot and will do anyting ta have him." Jack gave Spot a knowing look.
Spot started to shake his head in disagreement. "Jacky boy youse ain't tinkin abou whos I tink you are. No way. Ain't happenin."
Jack and Feist looked at eachother. "Vixen." They said in unison. Siren looked pissed. "I dont need ta be protected. Dis is bull shit."
Spot looked at his beautifull girl. "Dahling, ise dont want ya gettin hurt."
She was still pissed but agreed. "Do what ya have ta. No sleepin wit her tho!" Spot laughed.
"A coise not." Feist gave her a half smile and said, "Alrigh now to importan mattahs. Were am I sleepin?"
