" Those little kids really are something." Jack said pulling Knots closer to him.

" Yea, they are Jack. You were really good with them." Knots said kissing him.

Knots and Jack were sitting on the roof, staring up at the stars like they had done many nights before.

" When we get married. Do you wanna have kids Jack?"

" Very much. You'll be such a great mom Knots."

" And you'll be a great dad Jack."

" Here's what I'm thinking. We should have at least four, Two boys and two girls. Maybe even three boys and three girls."

Knots started to laugh.

" I'd love to have a big family Jack, but maybe we should split the labor, you do it three times and then I'll do it three times."

Jack started laughing too.

" I would do that for you if I could, but I cant." He said being serious and looking Knots into the eyes.

"I know Jack. I'm only kidding." She said kissing him.

" I love you Knots."

" I love you too."

" Wanna go for a walk?" Jack asked.

" Sure."

Knots and Jack stepped inside the lodging house. They checked on the two sleeping children and then started towards the door of the lodging house. When Jack opened the front door he was started to see a man standing there, who was just about to open it from the outside.

The man was about the same height as Jack. He had dark brown stuble, and cold brown eyes. He wore a long dark coat and a black bowler hat. He also had a black eye. Jack knew instantly that he was trouble.

" Hello Sir. Can Ise help ya?"

" Yes." He said in an eerie voice. "Earlier this morning I was out with my two children, a boy and a girl. Two teenagers came along, a boy and a girl. For no reason the boy knocked me unconscious, and then they took my two children. I have a feeling they may be here."

" There are no small children here sir." Knots said quickly. "The lodging house is full of teenagers only tonight."

" She's right. But I'll get some Newsies to look out for them. Can ya give us a physical description?" Jack said.

" Well the boy has light brown hair and blue eyes, and he's about this tall." The man held his hand to his knees. "And the girl is a little bit shorter, and she has curly blonde hair and crystal blue eyes."

" Well they sound like lovely children sir. We'll keep an eye out for them." Knots said.

" Yes. We will. But if you would excuse us, we were just coming down here to lock up the lodging house for the night." Jack said lying. The lodging house was never locked, just so kids would always have a place to stay if they needed it.

" Ok well I'll be leaving now. I'll be in contact with you."

" Ok sure. Good Luck." Jack said ushering the man out the door.

When he was finally gone for sure, Jack turned and faced Knots.

" I have a feeling this guy isn't going to go away Jack. I don't know why he wants them back so bad if all he does is beat them." Knots said.

" I don't know, but we gotta warn the others. This guy is not allowed anywhere near those two kids."

And with that Jack and Knots raced up the stairs of the lodging house to talk to the other Newsies.
