*Chapter 16*

"So..." Dibs broke the cessation of sound, lifting himself out of a chair, "Back to Brooklyn?" Bottle Cap didn't really know what to do. She didn't want to deal with Spin again that night, but she also wanted to stay with Silver Fists.

"No, I learned a long time ago that you can't run away from your...enemies." She said with a bit of a smirk. Enemies. The whole world was her enemy! She had no place to run, before now.

"You shoah Spot don't want ya ovah deah?" Dibs inquired, his eyes sparkling at her with a fond smile. He was just as she had imagined him, perfect.

"I think da goil can make 'er own decisions." Jack grinned at Bottle Cap. Dibs nodded and headed for the door.

"See ya." He called over his shoulder. Bottle Cap started twirling a strand of auburn hair in her fingers, her heart pounding from meeting Dibs.

"Dat was da best entahtainment we'se had in...evah." Illusion stated matter-of-factly.

"Yeah, Caps. You'se perdy brave ta go against a Conlon like dat." Dragonfly agreed with a giggle.

"Well, it pro'lly wasn't so hawd fer Caps, goils." Jack smiled a Bottle Cap, feeling special because he knew what the girls didn't.

"Why ya say dat? Spin was as pissed as Blink was when we found out Pullitzah raised da price." Mush laughed, playfully slapping Blink's cheek.

"I guess you guys don't know." Bottle Cap mused, "I just found out today, actually." She shrugged, turning for the door to find Silver.

"What did you find out?" Illusion asked, suddenly dying to know her secret.

"Spin's my twin sister." Bottle Cap smiled before leaving Tibby's. She felt so important here, like if she left someone would notice. It was a warm feeling, one she wasn't quite used to but could definitely grow on her.

"Heya Caps." Silver smiled, looking up from her place on one of the boys' bunks. "Wheah's Blink?"

"He's at Tibby's." Bottle Cap answered, sitting beside Silver. "Why didn't you tell me Dibs was here?"

"You know Dibs?" Silver asked, obviously clueless.

"I cre..." Caps began to explain before she realized how odd that would sound, "I guess I just feel like I do." She covered with a small shrug.

"You find out about Spin?" Silver Fists asked nonchalantly, ignoring the murmur of the room's activities.

"You could have told me she was Spot's sister. That would have cleared it up a lot quicker." Bottle Cap said, wondering why Silver Fists hadn't put two and two together.

"Oh my God!" Silver smacked her forehead, "I wasn't even thinkin' 'bout dat!"

"Obviously not." Bottle Cap laughed, "Well, I had a nice little chat with my twin sister."

"Twin?" Silver couldn't contain her excitement. "Dis is so good! Conlons keep poppin' up from all ovah."

"Yeah, well." Auburn hair fell into her face as she shook her head, "Spin does not want me around. That much is for sure." At that very moment, Spin Conlon waltzed in with Jake, a sour _expression stamped on her face.

"Speakin' of da devil." Silver Fists mumbled under her breath. Spin glared at Bottle Cap, keeping a safe distance as she whispered to Jake. Bottle Cap smiled sweetly, pretending not to notice. She had had alot of practice in acting as if she didn't know people hated her. This preformance was no different.
