Demon then made his way towards a group of newsies that were engaged in a fight. At first he didn't seem like he was going to do anything then he pushed the biggest one as hard as he could. The newsie turned quickly to strike back until he realized it was only Demon and began to ruffle his hair. I guess no one messes with his hair because Demon did a front flip and kicked the older newsie in the jaw. Chance, the newsie that had just gotten kicked shook his head slightly and broke into a huge grin.
"Dat kid is tough, shoot I'se tink dat he's can even beat Spot and Lucky." Chance stated standing up and rubbing his jaw. Then he made his way towards the kitchen as soon as he walked out I heard Spots big fat mouth from the doorway.
"Who's tink dey'se can soak me and Lucky?"
Without saying a word Demon came out from behind the newsies with his fists raised. Spot started cracking up and went to walk around Demon, within seconds Spot was on the floor calling for helo while Demon was on top of him beating him with tiny fists. Spot continued to struggle under the little kid as the others laughed. I could tell that if he really wanted to Spot could quickly overpower Demon, but he saw how determined that the kid was to beat him that he played along. It was kind of a funny site watching Spot get beat up by a child that was three times smaller than him. Finally after getting tired out Demon looked down and saw that Spots eyes were closed. The next thing that happened brought tears to my eyes, Demon began crying and ran out of the room. As I went to go after him I noticed that Lucky was already in pursuit. I decided to follow just incase he needed any help. Lucky sat next to demon and began rubbing his back.
"What's da mattah kid?" Lucky asked sympathetically.
"He's gone." The kid sniffled. "He go bye-bye like mommy did when the men hit her." My mouth dropped at the words that he had just said. I couldn't even believe it. Oscar and Morris actually beat this kids mom to death in front of him. What kinds of monsters would do such a thing?
"Hey what was yer muddahs name and why were those men chasin you'se kid?" Lucky asked a petrified looking Demon.
"My mommy is Ava and the men were saying dey were gonna hoit me loik dey did mommy." Demon sniffed more as tears formed around the brim of his eyes.
"Hey no one is goin ta hoit you'se and don't worry bout Spot he is ok, he was jes playin wid you'se." Lucky smiled at Demon who looked up at him confused. Before Lucky could udder another word Spot came through the door and Demon jumped at him and hugged him tightly.
"Whoah kid, you'se alright?" Spot questioned shocked at the hug he had just received.
"He thought he killed you'se Spot." Lucky began to explain. "He just told us dat Osca and Mo'is killed his muddah and were tryna kill him to." After Lucky had finished Spots face went from shock to anger. He knew that once the Delancey brothers set out to do something they would not quit til It was done. Spot then got the goofiest expression on his face but I knew it was the look he got when an idea popped into his head.
"What are you thinking Spot?" I asked him. An arrogant smirk came across his face and I knew that I was in for it.
"Lucky, you'se go get Skittery, Racetrack and Chance. No one else knows about this until it is all over." Spot said and sat down next to Demon. Without a word Lucky went inside and got Skittery then ran off to Manhattan to get Racetrack. I was confused at what Spot was up to. By the time Lucky returned with Racetrack; Spot, Chance Demon Skittery and I were all waiting on the steps. As soon as everyone was gathered Spot got up and signaled for us to follow him. We all followed Spot ignoring all the stares we got from the other newsies as we made our way up to his room.
"Alright Spot, are you'se gonna tell us whats goin on?" Racetrack asked looking confused and annoyed.
"Yea, well da Delanceys are afta da kid, dey saw him when dey moiderd his mom and now dey want him dead. Skittery is going to act as my second and Patience and Lucky are going to take da kid to Meddas." Spot began to explain his plan. "I'se want Skittery and Patience to stage a break-up den Luckys gonna come to da rescue. When Patience runs off Lucky will follow. Chance is going to go ahead and take da kid to Meddas now, don't forget to tell her bout da plan. Then wait at Meddas and in say about three months come back with the kid."
I nodded my head and made my way to my room with Skittery behind me. We stood there for a few minutes then hugged and began kissing as if it were the end of the world. Then we broke apart to begin the plan.
