"Wake up Angel , we gotta leave soon!" Spot said shaking me awake.

"I'm getting." I smiled.

We left as soon as we were ready to leave. Jack was coming with us to make sure Trevor didn't have his friends looking for us. The whole way there Spot and Jack talked about Christina. Jack's 'friend' was Specs, but he didn't want to ask Christina to be his girl so Jack volunteered to ask for him. We got to the Lodging House really late. I could tell Scott was mad I had left.

"Where've ye been?" Scott yelled once he saw me.

"I went te Medda's. Guess I should've told ye." I gave him a weak smile. "Oh I fergot! I didn't see Kevin at de Lodgin House. Where is he?" I asked turning to Jack. I wanted to avoid talking to Scott because I knew he was really pissed at me.

"Me an Scott took im te David's house till Scott gets back. Don't worry, de Jacobs are real nice. Dey'll take good care of im."

"Hey don't ignore me Angel!" Scott yelled and I didn't even look at him. "I give up. We'll talk lata."

"Ye surre dats a good idea?"

"Oh yea, I'll talk te im lata. Its betta dat way, fer me." I smiled.

"Dis is why I love her." Spot smiled at Jack.

"I thought it was cuz she's so cute." Jack laughed pulling my cheeks then messing my hair.

"No matta whudd, I always get disrespect." I grinned. "I'm goin te bed, g'nite Spot." I said walking away.

"Night." Spot said back.

"Whudd bout me?" Jack asked.

"Night Jack." I said entering my room.

In the morning I got up and got ready to sell. When everyone else got up I found Scott, Jack, Race, Snoddy, Skittery, and Blink were gone. I saw Spot walk out of his room and I walked over to him.

"Mornin, where's Scott an de oddas?"

"Dey left last night. Scott said te tell ye he ain't mad no mora." Spot smiled.

"I told Jack it'd be all right." I smiled back.

"Ye ready te sell?" Spot asked grinning.

"Ye mean were sellin tegeda?" I asked sarcastically.

"Nah I was just askin, yer sellin wit Frit an Poet." Spot joked and I playfully punched him.

We left with poet shortly after. Poet liked poems so they had named him Poet. We sold our papes as usual by noon. We went into the restaurant so Spot could meet with Christina.

"Ova hea!" Christina yelled from the back. She was sitting with someone I hadn't met even though I haven't met most of the newsies. "Oh I see yer lil crisis is ova. I thought youse two were really trough. Guess I was wrong. Oh well. Dis hea is Drake."

Poet went to sit with other newsies, while me and Spot sat across from Christina and Drake.

"Looks like he made it in time." Spot said to Christina sitting down.

"Yea barely. De Delancey's were right behind me. Yer lucky I left when I did." Drake sighed.

"Ye don think dey'd try something else do ye?" I asked nervously.

"Mebe, we just gotta be careful." Spot said concerned. "Who knows who it'll be next."

"Dye think Kevin's safe?" I asked quietly.

"If yer worried we can go an see im." Spot offered.

"Nah we'd probably just be buggin im." I said depressed. I suddenly looked up at him. "You'll really take me?"

"Yea tomorrow." Spot said smiling.

"Thank you!" I said hugging him tightly.

"She seems so easily pleased." Christina said laughing.

"Ye think?" Spot laughed also hugging me back.

Frit walked into the restaurant looking worried. He came over and whispered something in Spot's ear. "Ye surre?" Spot asked quietly, Frit nodded. Spot left with Frit I assumed to talk.

"I guess we're goin te see yer brodda soona den I thought." Spot said walking back to our booth.

"Whudds wrong?" I asked immediately.

"We're not surre, but I think it mebe it's nuttin."

"When er we leavin?"

"Now."

We left for Manhattan as soon as possible. Spot wouldn't tell me if anything had happened. It seemed he just wanted to get there and find out. Frit, Poet, Drake, and Baron accompanied us. I hadn't met Baron before (DUH), but he seemed a lot like Frit. He was violent, more than Frit, and didn't seem to like me the way Frit hadn't, but this time I didn't push anyone off of the docks.

Baron didn't even tell me his name. I had to ask Spot. It didn't take us long to arrive in Manhattan. It was good to be back; even though I had been there the previous day. Crutchy, Scott, and Mush were the only ones at the Lodging House once we arrived. They told us everyone else was out and would be back soon, hopefully. Spot left me with the others while he went and talked to Scott. Their conversation seemed serious. Being there ten minutes I had heard someone coming up the stairs.

"Yer hea already?" Skittery asked surprised.

"Yea Spot decided te leave right away." I said snobberly.

"Sorry if I offened ye. I'm just surprised te see ye when we just sent woid."

"Sorry I didn't mean te act like a brat."

"It's ok, I would to if I just found out whudd happened te me brodda."

"Me brodda? Whudd er ye talkin bout?" I asked standing up from the bunk I was sitting on.

"Ye mean Spot didn't tell ye?"

"Tell her whudd?" Spot asked when he heard his name.

"Bout Kevin." Skittery answered.

"Nah not yet, I just waned te make surre before I told her. Scott said he's been missin since dis morning. Les an David found de room he was stayin in empty when dey went te wake im up. I didn't wanna worry ye if it weren't true."

"Do dey know whea he is?" I panicked.

"Derre out looking fer im right now. Look we ain't leavin till he's found." Spot said holding me trying to comfort me.

I decided to wait in my room by myself. I sat on my top bunk. David, Specs and Les arrived soon after we had. Someone knocked on my door. I didn't feel like seeing who it was so I just ignored whoever it was. After knocking a few more times David cracked the door open and looked inside.

"Angel I'm really sorry bout Kevin. We didn't find im yet."

"It's ok," I said then putting my head on my knees. "Dye think anyone'll find im?" I asked quietly.

"For surre." he smiled then left.

I decided to see what everyone else was doing. I quietly got up and walked towards the door.

"So dey said it te ye when youse was walkin home?" Spot's voice asked.

"But whudd bout de Delancey's? Couldn't dey've done it instead?"

"Yea but we ain't surre dey had anythin te do wid it." Les' voice had answered.

"How can we not? Trevor threatened Angel he was gonna do something, dis could be it."

"Before anyone could answer I walked out of my room. "Whudds goin on?" I asked looking at Spot.

"We're tryin te figure out whudd happened te Kevin." Spot answered nervously.

"I think Trevor had something te do wid it. He probably followed David er had a friend do it." I said sitting next to Spot.

"Whudd er ye sayin, ye wanna find out?" Spot asked grinning broadly. I smiled at him. "Lets go." he said getting up and I followed.

"Where dye think yer goin? Jack told us te wait hea fer im." Skittery said grabbing my arm.

"He didn't tell us dat. Tell im we went out if he comes back before us."

"I don't wanna have te tell im. He'll be really mad if yer takin her wid ye." he hollered down the stairs.
