Chapter 12

Spot watched as Spunky picked the lock on the cell door. She was having some trouble. Finally he gave a sigh and did it. She gave him a look, "I had it."

Spot rolled his eyes, " yeah. By the time you would have opened it Cricket and Rage would already be here." she gave him a glare and walked out.

He followed and watched as she opened the door. "hmm..it's already opened."

He nodded. "Exactly what I thought." To answer the questioned glance he continued, "Whip didn't lock it. He convinced them not to kill me."

"They were going to kill you?!"

He smiled, "yeah. To get you to cooperate."

She nodded. Then, she opened the door slowly. The guy guarding it turned and made a 'huh' noise but, then was clobbered by Spunky who started punching him. The Newsies that were in the cell closest all stood up. Spunky finally hit his head against the wall and knocked him out.

Spot stared. She gave him a smirk. Then she winced and looked at her left hand that was bleeding from the chains and punching the guard. Spot quickly ripped off his right sleeve off his shirt and wrapped her hand.

"thanks." She whispered. He nodded.

"Here. give me the pick." She handed it to him. He broke it in half and handed half to her. She smiled.

Spot headed to the cells in the front and Spunky went to the cell with some Brooklyn Newsies in it.

She fiddled with the lock a minute until it opened. The guys smiled and went to the front to guard the door.

Suddenly they all heard footsteps. "Get in the cell you boys were in. Protect Spunky!" Spot commanded. The boys quickly went back. One grabbed Spunky. She winced but didn't say anything. They boys blocked her and she couldn't see Spot.

Spot stood behind the door, waiting. The door opened and Whip came in quickly shutting it behind him. He turned to the cell opposite side of where Spot was standing. He went over and unlocked it. Out came Jack and the Boston Newsies.

Whip handed him the keys. "Here. unlock the other cells. I'll get Spot and Belle."

Spunky pushed through and opened the cell door ushering the Brooklyn's out. Whip looked up and his eyes widened. "Your alright! When I saw Cricket bring you in. I thought you were a goner. He had punched you in the stomach when you moved. It was sickening." He came over and stared at her.

She just gave a suspicious look.

"Why are you helping?" Spot said as he came up behind Whip.

Whip whirled around. "I use to be a Brooklyn Newsie. When Cold was leader. I was only little. But I got lost and the Stanton Island took me in." Whip shrugged. "couldn't betray Brooklyn."

Spot nodded with a smile. Jack finished and came over with Blink, Race, and the Bostons. Ridley came up and hugged Spunky. "you alright?" he asked pulling away. She smiled and nodded. Then she turned away from him and was hugged fiercly by Blink. She smiled.

"Don't worry Blinkie. I'm fine." He pulled away and looked at her hand. She shrugged.

Jack, then, spoke up," alright with the reunion? Ok. Good. 'cause we are outnumbered and we gotta get outta here."

Whip shook his head, "about half of them are on our side. It seems that Queens steals Brooklyn Newsies. At least some of the smaller ones."

Spot growled, "then lets go!" he turned and went to the door. But, moved aside for Whip.

Whip nodded and opened the door. "follow me. The guards are on our side." Spot nodded. Spunky came up next to him and the three were followed by all of Brooklyn, 4 Bostons, and half of Manhattan.

Whip led them through the many corridors, "wow," breathed Spunky looking around, "it's so big."

Spot smiled at her amazement.

They walked for a good fifteen minutes, until they came to a back door. Whip turned around. "They might be out there. I told them I had to go..y'know…so they might have got suspicious because I have the keys."

Spot nodded. He looked over at Spunky, then turned to one of his boys, "Chip. I'm countin' on you to watch Spunky."

"What! I don't need watched. Just let me have a go at Cricket." She said angrily.

Spot shook his head. "No. I get Cricket. But, your in no condition to fight."

She glared. "it's just a bloody fist. It's fine. I wanna fight!" Spot shook his head.

"I'm not letting you get hurt."

She sighed angrily. "I'm gonna fight! I can't stand and watch. You know it Spot!"

Everyone was watching. They looked to Spot. Spot sighed. He wanted to shake her and tell her to stop being stubborn. But, hers matched his stubborness. And the fact that she was right, he couldn't stand and watch a fight without doing something.

Spunky watched him fight with himself. But, she wasn't going to give in. she wanted to be by his side fighting. She knew he knew that. "C'mon Spot. Were wasting to much time. Just let me fight." He sighed.

The Brooklyn Newsies stared at Spunky. They had never seen someone stand up to Spot like that and win.

"Fine. But, you gotta leave Cricket to me. You can beat the shit outta Rage and anyone you want, but you leave Cricket to me." Spunky thought a moment then nodded.

Whip looked at the two. Then, opened the door. They all stepped out into the setting sun.

There stood Rage, Cricket, and Racket. Behind them was about fifty Newsies from Queens, Stanton Island, and Westside.

Spot glanced at Spunky. She had a determined look on her face, and was glaring at the boys that stood in front of her.

"Let's kick some bastard ass!" she shouted.

A/N: lol! I like that! Lol… anyway I'm going to Boston this weekend (the one coming up) so I might not start my other fic. Till after that…I don't know I haven't decided. Anyway! If you REVIEW you can yell at me for ending it here! I'll try and get a chapter up tomorrow. But no promises. But, maybe if you make me feel better by Reviewing…hmmm…makes ya think about the possibilities, huh? Lol

PLEASE REVIEW!
