Chapter 11

Spot woke with a splitting headache. He went to put his hand on his head when he realized he had chains around his wrists and ankles. He groaned and shut his eyes.

When he opened his eyes and looked around, he saw Spunky across the cell in the same state as he, except she was still unconscious. Then, he realized where he was. The old Police station in Queens. It was where the Queens leader held meetings with the other Newsie Leaders.

There was an empty cell across from him and Spunky and then a door that had a guard on the opposite side.

Spot sat there awhile. Head throbbing and every small sound made him wince in pain.

Then, from across the cell he heard Spunky groan. He watched as she opened her eyes, blinked and looked around.

"Spot?" she croaked out. Then, she coughed. He saw a small bit of blood on the floor. He tried to move closer, but she was to far away.

"Shh." He said. "it's alright."

Spunky looked at him, yawned, then said, "I can get us out of here. Just let me get some sleep…" and she curled up and fell asleep.

Spot sighed. He needed to get them out of here. She was hurt, he knew. Coughing up blood, even a little bit, wasn't good.

They sat there a long time, until Spot heard footsteps, a key jangling, and the door opening. He looked over and watched Rage, Whip his second in command, Cricket, and Racket, the leader of Queens. (a/n: there you go another 'R')

"So Brooklyn's awake." Rage smirked.

Spot glared so fiercely, he was disappointed no one flinched.

"aww. Don't be like that Conlon. You should be happy you're here." Cricket said smiling.

Spot ignored them. "Maybe we should just kill 'im now." Said Racket.

Whip shook his head and said sharply, "No. We need him to get Spunky to Cooperate."

"Why? We got half the Manhattan Newsies, and her Boston Newsies." Cricket questioned.

"Ain't good enough. We need Spot." Rage replied.

Cricket shot a glare at Spot, turned on his heel, and walked out.

"Jealous." Said Rage.

Racket nodded. "you're safe now, Conlon." He smirked. And him and Rage walked out. Whip followed behind slowly. Winked at Spot and gave him a thumbs up sign. Then walked out the door. Spot heard the keys jangle, but no locking sound.

He pondered this and didn't notice Spunky up.

"I won't cooperate." She said suddenly. He looked at her and saw her in the weirdest position.

She was hanging on the chains of her left hand. She had her left leg crossed over to her right hand and she was trying to get something on the side of her boot.

"What are you doing?!" Spot said, eyes wide.

"Trying to get my key."

"You have a key?" he asked.

"Well, I have a pin. I keep it in the rubber of my…"she gave a pull and she fell, and gave a small scream. Spot made a move to see what happened.

She had her left hand, which had been tangled in the chains to hold her up, and saw that it was purple and blue and bloody.

"Ouch." Spunky said looking at it. She then held up in her right hand a small pin that could pick locks.

Spot smiled, "Your Brilliant!" he exclaimed.

Spunky nodded, "I know." She said and winked.

She started picking the lock on her left shackle. Spot watched silently. Then, she started talking.

"So…do you remember Cricket ever leaving for a couple of weeks about a year ago?"

Spot thought a moment. "yeah."

"Well, he was with me."

Spot gave a look of alarm.

"yeah." She continued. "when I first came to Stanton Island, he befriended me. We were like, like you and me. Well, when I 'disgraced' Rage, Cricket said he would make sure I got home safely. He stayed with me and Will for a couple of days. Will warned me he didn't like Cricket. But…but I didn't listen. I trusted Cricket to much. But a little while after Cricket left Steal showed up. He said that I should thank Cricket. Cricket had told Rage exactly where I was. He betrayed me. And I regret everyday that I trusted him." As she finished she got the last cuff off of her leg.

"You know what?" she asked Spot as she came over and started picking the locks around his ankles and wrists.

"What?"

"I don't know how I trusted you after what happened to me and Cricket. I never make the same mistake twice." She got his cuffs off faster.

He stood up and hugged her, "and you won't." he whispered.
