He carried me to the Lodging House. "So are ye goin back te Brooklyn, atleast till our fatha leaves, if he does?" Scott asked me and Spot.

"Figuaed she'd be safe. Don worry, Jack, Race, an de odda's are comin wid us." Spot replied.

"I'm sorry it didn't toin out like ye wanned." I said to Scott.

"It ain't yer fault. He's just a different guy den I thought." Scott hugged me.

Me and Spot left with Jack, Race, Ace and Barret. We didn't feel like talking, it was late so and everyone was tired. Once we reached Brooklyn I wished Bailey had come with us.

"Home!' Spot sighed as we walked into the Lodging House "'C'mon yer sleepin wid me." Spot said pulling me into his room.

"Jjust be careful." I reminded him.

"I know, besides I don think ye wanna be by yerself in yer room?...all alone.." he smiled.

"Yer right. I don wanna be by me self." I smiled back.

I spent the night with Spot. We didn't talk much but when we did he tried to comfort me about my father. I realized after Spot fell asleep I had to go to my father. I didn't want Spot to get hurt so I decided that I would go to him in a few days. I knew everyone would be against it but I had to do it. For me and Spot.

The next few days flew by fast. I didn't know how I was going to break the news to Spot. After we came back from Tibby's one afternoon Spot decided to take me to the docks.

"Spot, look I love ye, but don ye think it would be a little safer fer ye an everyone else if I just went wid me fatha?" I asked as we were swimming.

"Whudd er ye sayin. Te just hand ye ova?"

"Well kinda, but it won't be fer long. Just mebe a few days. I thought bout it. Why not have Race, you and some oddas follow us. Atleast you'll know where I am an if I'm safe."

"I can't. whudd if yer brodda, I dunno kinda well ye know. I can't let it happen te ye."

"Dats why you'd follow us. Te make surre nuttin like dat happens."

"But…I dunno…I don like it." He said stubbornly.

"Look I think mebe it would atleast be a little safer fer youse an Scott. Beside mebe I can really see whudd he's about, Me fatha…cuz Scott wants te know"

"Look…I don like it one bit. But if ye really wanna do it. We gotta talk te Race, and some oddas. Mebe dey can help."

"Thanks Spot." I smiled trying to hug him but it was difficult in the water.

"I said we would talk te em. I ain't makin any promises," he frowned. "Ye know I'm totally against it."

"I know, but I think I'll be fine, you'll be watchin ova me." I smiled kissing him deeply.

"I hope yer not tryin te make me change me mind." He said pulling away.

"Oohh, but I am."

That afternoon we went to Manhattan to talk to Race and see if anyone would help us. We weren't planning on telling Scott just yet.

"Heya whats new?" Race asked once we got there.

"Just de guy we wanna see." Spot said spit shaking his hand.

"We were wonderin if ye could help us." I asked.

"Whoa, not anudda job, not if Scott's gonna get mad."

"But he won't know. Besides it'll give ye a few days away from im if he does."

"Whudd ye want me te do?" he asked with a big sigh.

"Well I was gonna go wid me fatha, well just fer a little while," I said once Race looked at me.

"Whoa, no yer not goin! Scott ain't gonna like it. Besides I ain't lettin ye do it." Race looked at Spot. "Yer not gonna say nothin?"

"I already talked te im bout it. It don matta if he don like it, I really thought bout dis Race. I'm goin even if yer not gonna help."

"Yea, but I mean, yer gonna marry yer own brodda."

"No I'm not. I'm just gonna go fer a little. Spot agreed he was gonna watch out fer me while I was derre. I was hopin you'd do de same, wid some people."

Race dragged me away from Spot for a moment. "Ye know how it's gonna kill im. You kissin anudda guy, sleepin wid one. How can ye think bout dis?"

"Race, if I don, he threatened te hoit some one. I don wanna see anyone get hoit. But I know one way er anudda someone will. Even if it's me an Spot. But hes strong, I know he can handle it, besides he'll be derre watchin me every move. Hopefully wid you an some backup."

"Alright, I'll do it. But only cuz I don want anythin bad happenin te youse an Spot."

"Still hoid everythin bout me ye said." Spot interrupted us.

"Nuttin less den expected from de almighty leada of de Brooklyn newsies." I smiled.

I took us over an hour to get everyone we needed to go. Our party consisted of 10 people. There was Race, Spot, Barret, Blink, Phoenix, Blaze, Shadow, Sketch, Demon and Spits. We agreed after telling evryone in Brooklyn about the trip that we'd leave. We wouldn't leave for atleast a day.

"Spot? How'm I gonna break de news te Bailey? I know she's not gonna like it eida." I asked the day we were leaving.

"You guys gots a real good relationship. Just tell her yer goin. She'll not like it but atleast she'll know whudd yer doin." Spot smiled as we headed to Manhattan. We just told everyone in Brooklyn about our secret trip and told them not to tell Scott. We didn't get a good reaction from then and Frit didn't like the idea we decided not to bring him. Even though I told him I knew he'd blow our cover by beating the shit out of anyone there who touched me, a lot like Spot, but Spot knew he couldn't.

"So whudder we doin again?" Sketch asked again, the third time in the past hour.

"Shut yer trap er I'll shut if fer ye!" I warned jokingly.

"Ye know, ye really should lighten up. Who knows how long we're gonna be stuck derre." Barron said as he followed with most of the others, "Who are we pickin up?"

"No yer gonna wait fer us. Me an Spot are gonna get Race and Blink and we'll meet you nea de apartments."

"Dats nice." Spits said walking ahead.

"Angel, I think we're gonna have a problem wid some guys." Spot whispered.

"Why?" I asked a bit confused.

"Well dey don like goils takin ova. I think I'll do de talkin. Just follow me."

"Well if ye say so."

"Ok fellas we're gonna meet ye nea de apartments in half an houa. We're gonna go talk te someone before we leave." Spot ordered for me. "I do say so." Spot smiled at me.

"Yea yea, I thought so." I laughed.

We reached the Lodging House and with much hope found Scott nowhere in site. I found Bailey in the bunk room talking to Race.

"Bai, we gotta talk." I said quickly and pulled her into my room.(which she's occupying for the time being).
