THE UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT CHAPTER 6

Disclaimer: I own none of newsies in the movie. Other than them, I own everyone else.

A/N - Well, I said I would have the next chappy out soon, and look! 2 days! That's a record for me! OK, with no further babbling from me, HERE IT IS!

***************************

"NOOOOO!" Everybody shouted as the bullet left Blink's gun. Right as it was about to hit Spot, Riff shoved him away. Spot tumbled to the floor, stunned. He looked up to see the bullet hit Riff in the chest. Spot rushed over to his side.

"Riff!" Spot cried as realization come over him. "Riff! Why'd ya do that?"

"Spot..." Riff tried to get out, but only ending up coughing. "Spot... You're.. You're like a brother to me. I'd do anything to save you, even if it means I die."

He started coughing violently.

"Spot.. I'm not.. I'm not gonna make it."

"NO! Riff, ya aint gonna die. Ya ain't gonna die" Spot said, while eyeing Riff's chest, which was becoming saturated in blood.

"Just promise me this... Don't let them get you. Don't let them get...." with that, he took his last breath.

"RIFF! Riff, come on man! Wake up! NO, you can't die! Riff!" Spot cried.

An evil chuckle filled the air.

"Awwww... How touching." Brady said, sarcastically.

Immediately, Spot snapped his head up and his anger rose very quickly.

"You... I'm gonna fuckin KILL you Blink!" Spot screamed as he got up and started toward Blink.

"Uh, uh, uh, Spot. I think it's gonna be the other way around." Blink said as he lifted his gun up and aimed it at Spot, who froze in his tracks.

"Now do you think I can betray you? I did just kill Riff, but the bullet was meant for you. But now, it's gonna be 'bye bye' to Spot time." Blink said, cocking the gun again.

"NO. I won't let you do this." Mush said, stepping in front of Spot.

"Mush, get out of my way." "No. I can't."

"Mush! What are ya doing? You're gonna get yourself killed!" Jack said.

"I know what I'm doing. He won't shoot me."

"Um.. HELLO? I will if I have to. I do have a gun, and you're standing in front of my target."

"Blink... Look into my eyes. Can you honestly do this to me? Think about all the things we've done. I befriended you on the first day you came here. I don't know how many times I've bailed you outta trouble, whether by sweet-talking Kloppman into letting you slide on paying your rent, or helping ya run from the bulls. We told each other everything. We were best friends... Or at least I thought we were. Like I said, look into my eyes, and then try to shoot me."

"Like that is gonna go anything." Blink said, as he raised his gun and looked straight into Mush's eyes.

And stared.

And stared.

The room fell silent as everyone watched what was happening between them.

Blink stared into Mush's eyes for what seemed like an eternity. Mush's eyes were pleading with him. In his friend's eyes, he saw the effect of what he had done. He saw the hurt. He saw the anger. But most of all, he saw the betrayal. All the things he had done in the past few hours came rushing back to him, but now he saw them as Mush would see them.

He took his eye off of Mush's, but only for a second, and looked over at Riff's body and inwardly cringed. Blink's eye shifted back to Mush. In that second, Mush could tell something changed inside Blink, since his eye showed it. Plus, Blink's hand that held the gun was starting to tremble.

After a few more seconds, Blink broke down.

"Holy shit... what have I done?" Blink said, as he sank down to the floor, dropping his gun and covering his face with his hands.

Mush's and Spot's faces each filled with relief, but quickly faded when they realized Brady was still there.

"Blink, what the fuck are ya doing? You got a job to do. GET UP NOW!"

"... I can't."

Brady was taken aback.

"What did you just say? You CAN'T? You're turning your back on us? What happened to 'Oh yes Brady, whatever you say Brady.'? And do ya really wanna give up your power you could get?"

"No. I want that. But.. I just.. I can't do it." Blink said, getting quieter as he went on.

"You little bastard. You disobeyed me, and now you're gonna pay." Brady said, as he hit Blink hard in the head with the butt of his gun, knocking him to the floor.

Seeing Blink on the floor, not moving, Brady smirked and turned toward Spot.

"Well, I guess it's just gonna be you and me now in our little 'party' tonight."

"You don't scare me Brady. If you're trying to, stop before you hurt yourself."

"You think you're so smart. How do ya plan on getting outta this? You probably though tonight was gonna be and easy victory for you didn't you? Well, guess what? IT'S NOT! You already lost Riff, and now your gonna lose your own life."

"Is that the best you can do? Kill me? And what is it that you want from me? What did I do to make you hate me?"

Brady let out a small laugh.

"What did you do? You were born, that's what you did. You took all the power and respect away from me."

"Away from you? In what life would it have ever been yours? From what you've told me, You wouldn't have even gotten power if it wasn't for Milo or Tristan."

"Oh, cut the bullshit Spot. You're not as powerful or invincible as you seem. Why do you think that Monty and Blink betrayed you? So, thanks for keeping Brooklyn alive, but..." Brady said, aiming and cocking his gun. "Now it's my turn."

Just as he was about to shoot, another gun went off.

Brady let out a yell, and fell to the ground.
