The five headed towards Brooklyn.
Blink sling his arm around Angel's shoulder and ruffled her hair.
"You ain't back three hours and your allready sturrin' up trouble," he laughed.
"Oh yeah Blink," Angel said nudging him gently. "I came back just to cause trouble."
Blink laughed and ran ahead to Mush.
Rose walked by her friends side. "So what's up with this Spot guy? And what's this you guys fought over?"
Angel let out a gentle sigh. "You want to know how I know Spot?" she asked eyeing Rose. Rose nodded. "Well, We actually grew up together. Our parents were friends, and we lived next door to each other. He was my best friend, although he was a boy, he was actually very nice."
They passed threw an ally after the boys. It was a short cut to Brooklyn and it was getting late.
"He was very protective of his younger sister. May. May was almost a duplicate of Spot. I wont tell you his real name because only Jack and I know it and he would kill me. Anyway, When the apartment building that we lived in burned down, Spot's parents died in the fire. My father died trying to save us all. Spot became a newsie along with my brother Mario. They both went so they could help support us. My mother was a teacher and didn't make much money. Spot and May moved in with us and we became like a family."
The began crossing the bridge. Angel looked at Race and shook her head.
"We all went to school. My mother paid, and got a discount because she taught at the school. Then one night, I went to Manhattan to see Race-"
"Wait wait," Rose broke in. "Who is Race?"
Angel pointed towards the Italian looking boy.
"That helps," Rose muttered.
"He's my cousin," Angel helped.
"Oh."
"Anyway, I came back and all the lights were out in the house. I was a little worried. Then, I heard sobbing coming form the kitchen, I walked in and saw May covered with blood and my mom, sprawled all over the floor." Rose gasped, Angel continued. "Mario was outraged when he got home, Spot was enraged. Mario left and took May with him, telling Spot to take care of me."
They reached the docks. The sunset illuminated over the water, Rose let out a sigh at it's beauty.
Mush walked down the docks.
It's that boy on the crates, Angel thought spotting the boy again.
"Hey Spot," Mush called to him.
Angel's eyes grew wide. She was in shock.
Spot leapt down from his perch and spit shook with Mush. He turned to Angel with a scowl on his face.
"It's da goil wit da big mouth," he said pointing his cane at Angel.
"And it's the egotistical maniac," She countered.
The two glared as Rose stared at Spot, not at all impressed.
"What you lookin' at?" Spot barked at Rose.
"If I'm lookin at Spot Conlon." she stared him up and down. "I'm not impressed."
Spot glared.
"Look," Angel broke in. "If you don't recognize me than I guess you aren't beating your self up. I came to make amends."
Spot stared at her. He didn't know who she was. He saw the glare that he was getting.
"Youse came ta apologize for earlieah?" he asked cockily.
Angel glared. "No," she said annoyed. "I don't' apologize for speakin my mind, BENJAMIN!!"
Spot took a step back. He stared at her. How could she know his name. Her hazel brown eyes shone angrily. She humphed and crossed her arms. She seemed hurt by him. He didn't know why.
"How do youse know me name?" He asked quietly.
She sighed and stared at him. "Spot, Look at me real close. Tell me that I don't remind you of someone."
He shook his head. And stared at her. It took a minute but soon he smirked. "If it ain't de Angel of death."
She shook her head. "Don't call me that," she said gruffly. She smiled afterwards and looked at Rose.
"Rosalitta Ramirez," she said motioning towards Spot. "I would like to introduce, the self proclaimed, most famous newsies in New York, Spot Conlon."
