Spot was waiting for Blade to come down. He tapped his cane against a loose floorboard.
"Did ya find her?" A voice near him said. Spot looked up to see Blade who was trying to hide his anxiousness.
"Sitdown boy." spot ordered him. He Studied blade as he sat down trying to find a way to tell him.
"Well?"
Spot looked him in the eyes "sorry kid, she's gone."
Blade blinked "gone?... You mean she's......... ... dead." he could barely say the last word. Spot shrugged.
"I don't know. All's I know is dat she ain't at the orphanage anymore."
Blade sat back, his hands on his knees. "Is there anyway you could track her down?" he looked up at spot hopefully.
Spot thought a moment then nodded "sure but I ain't makin' no promises."
Blade nodded understanding. "I ain't askin for none."
Spot nodded "good', he stood up," Well I'll get back to ya if I get anything"
Blade nodded and thanked him.

Sasha and Blaze looked up at the big building.
"Is dis the place?" Sasha asked. Blaze shrugged
"That's what the vendor told us".
They walked up the steps and he hesitantly knocked on the door. After a minute a tall blonde boy with a patch over one eye answered the door. "Ya?" he asked raising a brow.
"Dis a lodging house?" Blaze asked. The boy nodded and opened the door more so they could come in. They walked in and blaze turned to the boy again. "Y a got any rooms available?"
The boy shrugged "You'd 'ave to ask someone who lives here. I'm just visiting." he explained. Blaze nodded raising an eyebrow.
"Well do you know where I could find someone who would know?" she asked
The boy smirked "hold on." He ran up the stairs.
Blaze turned to Sasha who was staring at the stairs where the boy had just disappeared.
"He was a looker eh." Blaze smirked nudging her.
Sasha nodded "shore was"
They walked over to a fireplace and looked at some pictures hangin on the wall above it. They were all mainly of the building when it was first being built. Some were of a guy and then another had the same guy but he was older and surrounded by a bunch of young boys. Then the rest were of all different boys. Blaze heard some voices coming from the stairs. She recognizes them both. One she knew was the boy that opened the door and the other was...*clenching her teeth*....
"YOU!!" Spot growled when he recognized blaze. Blaze turned around smirking at him and bowed.
"Well well, we meet yet again. Is there any place you don't inhabit"
Sasha turned pale knowing the tension between the two. The blond boy with the patch raised a brow.
"You know each other?" he asked confused.
"Of course, who wouldn't know spot conlon the famous Brooklyn leada" She mocked him.
"Ya she's the new nuisance of Brooklyn" Spot retorted at the same time. They both stopped at glared at each other.
"Oh really" Blaze spoke first.
"Ya really" Spot grunted.
Sasha watched in silence ready to jump in at the first sign of a fight. They just glared in silence. The boy with the patch cleared his throat. Sasha looked up at him. He caught her looked and winked at her. She bent her head and blushed. Blazed glanced at the boy.
"Along with a temper he also has no manners. I guess I'll make my own introductions then.' she held out her hand, "names Blazes and this here is Sasha" She said jerking her other thumb toward Sasha. Blink smirked.
"Blink, Nice ta meet you both." he shook her hand. Then kissed the back of Sashas hand winking at her again making Sasha blush even more. Seeing this Blaze rolled her eyes and caught eyes. Spot raised a brow and Blaze shrugged.
"So yer lookin for a place eh." it was more of a statement then a question. "What makes you think I take in bad tempered girls who don't even know how to swim?" HE said trying to anger her and succeeding.
"Ya we're lookin for a place to stay. And if I had known you ran this scum hole I wouldn't have bothered, but since I'm here and this is the last place, then I might as well try." She retorted.
Spot raised his brow again. "So I see. And why should I let you stay.?"
"Oh spotty leave the poor girl alone." interrupted a voice before blaze could retort back. She turned to see a pretty girl with jet-black hair tied back into a ponytail. As she neared she noticed her eyes were a pretty cyan color. The girl stopped next to spot who was growling under his breath.
"Hi, I'm Jet." she shook Blazes hand. "We have a couple beds in the girls bunkroom free. If you'd like I'll take ya up and show ya. not all the girls are back yet, but trixie, Pixie, are here along with Runt and pen." She finished.
Blaze tilted her head at Jet. She liked this girl. She seemed nice, sides she put spot in his place. Blazed grinned, "I'm Blaze and this is Sasha and that sounds great." she darted a glare at spot then her and Sasha followed jet upstairs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Spot growled after the girls were out of sight. "Trouble" he said under his breath shaking his head.
"They seemed nice." Blink shrugged. Spot glared at him "How would you know when yer mind had only one thing running through it. "
"What are you talking about?" Blink said.
"Don't play innocent with me. We all saw how you were drooling over that girl. no wait. That nuisance." he shot back.
"Just cause you have a thorn in your side doesn't mean I should follow suit. Sides you're not my leader so I don't need to follow what you tell me." blink defended himself.
"Dats it you don't got no right insultin' me in me own lodgin house. Your right your not one of my newsies. So now get out!" he ordered. Blink held his hands up in surrender.
"Alright Alright. I'm goin ya don't gotta yell." He left.
Spot shut the door behind blink then walked to his rooms shuttin the door, mumbling the whole time.
