"Wow ," Siren said at the end of the song, her eyes still locked on his. Slowly, he leaned closer and closer until.......................
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Well, Siren," Medda said impressed for the young girl. "Bring the winner up."
Siren reluctantly removed herself from Spot's arms, instantly missing the warmth.
"Race!" she called down the stage to the Italian boy who was talking with Jack as Spot left the stage. He looked up at her. "Who won?"
Race looked at his notes then called out to the audience, "Bull, leadah o' da Bronx!"
The section containing the Bronx newsies went wild as their leader walked up to the stage to collect the money he had won.
"Thanx," he said as he walked onto the stage and collected his money from Race. "Seventy dollahs and I'se owe it all ta youse, Doll."
Siren visibly tensed when he called her "Doll".
"Bull, I'se wouldn't o' done that," Race whispered as Siren balled her hands into fists.
"What da-" was all Bull said before he found himself flat on the ground.
"Don't ever call me, Doll," Siren said deadly calm before flipping her blonde hair over her shoulder and walking away from the crowd as Medda continued talking.
"Well, I never," Medda said taking the stage once again. "My dears it's time for one last song before you must return to your proper boroughs."
Medda walked off the stage as Siren walked back on wearing a simple blue shirt and brown pants. A slow calm tune played as she sat down on the edge of the stage.
##"It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart, Without saying a word you can light up the dark. Try as I may I could never explain, What I hear when you don't say a thing.
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart, Without saying a word you can light up the dark. Try as I may I could never explain, What I hear when you don't say a thing.
All day long I can hear people talking out loud, But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd. Old Mr. Webster could never define, What's being said between your heart and mine.
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me, There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me, The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall, You say it best when you say nothing at all.

As the song finished the curtains closed taking Siren along with them, the newsies started to slowly make their way to wherever they were staying the night.
"Go on guys, me, Spot, and Les'll wait for Siren," Jack said as his newsies looked at him.
Dave, Blink, Race and the other nodded and headed out into the dark New York streets.
"So," Jack said turning to Spot.
"Say it Kelly," Spot demanded looking at his friend in the eye.
"You like 'er," Jack stated. Not questioned.
"Yeah," Spot said taking his eyes from the brown gaze of the Manhattan leader.
"Don't toy wid 'er," Jack said warningly.
Spot looked up at Jack and stared at him, his blue eyes boring into Jack's brown ones.
"Never," he whispered determinedly.
"Never what?" Siren asked stepping out from the stage.
"Nuttin," Spot said looking up at her.
"Fine keep your secrets," she mumbled. "Poor baby," she added upon seeing Les asleep in his chair.
"Fell asleep in da middle o' da last one," Jack said walking up.
"Well, pick him up," she said smoothing the ten-year-old's hair down. "Let's go home."
Jack nodded and picked up the sleeping boy. Siren smiling looked once more at the empty theatre and made her way toward the exit with Spot and Jack in front of her. She paused once more and sighed.
"I love you Daddy," she whispered as the lights went off.
"Siren!" Spot called and she went running to the streets and to the place she felt most at home, a lodging house with twenty other boys.
